Hundred Years of Garhwali Dramas

               Basanti:  A Garhwali Drama dealing with Social Problems

(Review of ‘Basanti’ a Garhwali Drama by Vishwambar Datt Uniyal)
(Garhwali Dramas, Kumauni Stage Plays, Dramas of Uttarakhand, Himalayan Dramas)

                       Bhishm Kukreti

                       Vishwambar Datt Uniyal (Uniyal Ganv, Saklana, Tihri Garhwal, 1904-1945) was the first Indian who became a member of Mossurie Municipal Corporation.
              Vishwabar Datt Uniyal published a social Garhwali drama ‘Basanti ‘ from Uttarakhand, press, Dehradun, 1932, and dedicated the book to the late Mahant Lakshman Das Ji of Guru Ram Rai Sahib. 
               Basanti is about five acts and fourteen scenes.  The drama is idealistic and with clear objectives that society should stop mismatched marriages (old man and young female), the youth should have Neetivan and should have good conduct, and the saint should act always in selfless behavior. 
                   The story is about the parents of Basanti from a village who are worried about the marriage of their young daughter and as the prevailing custom of that time are ready to marry her daughter to an old man. The parents feel that their duty is limited just to marrying their daughter. The parents of a young man Hari Singh are also worried about the marriage of their unmarried son.   Well-educated Hari Singh is a rebellion in Dehradun and fights many battles against wrong people or social evils. In the end, Hari Singh and Basanti are engaged. There are other characters to develop the drama as a saint, pundit, and Gatti. Gatti is a Bbadi and sings songs in the drama. The drama has many folk songs for expressing emotions that can’t be expressed through dialogues or prose.
                     The drama Basanti 's successful in showing the struggle of parents who are worried about their children's marriage. The acts of Hari Singh preach for the requirement of idealistic youth in the society with the least preaching speeches.
             The dramatist took care in developing the characterization of the characters.
              The dialogues are as per the nature of the characters. The dialogues are effective and provide speed to drama as –
Basanti – didi !dekh dhaun   hindu logun ma kano buro rivaj ch ki naunyun byau budyaun se kar dendan. Bhai! ina karan se t jai din hweai vai I din baghai dyon t acchho rhee. Jindagi bhar ka ron dhon se t ni hon hi bhalo.
Or
Gatti- d1 thakuru ki chhween sunaan. Mai sani abi teen beesi ar paancho baras lagyun thakuro! Log t assi pichaasi baras ma byau kardan maaraaj
              The chorus song at the end of the drama is an example of imagining the power of Vishwambar Datt Uniyal.
    Hari Datt Bhatt Shailesh states that due to its dialogues and social needs, the drama was staged many times. Bhatt informs the people were influenced by the theme of this drama. The drama is less literature and is more of a communication medium. Basanti drama worked well in its time to influence people to go against mismatched marriages custom.

Hundred Years of Modern Garhwali Drama

                      Parivartan: A Garhwali Social Theme Drama 

(Review of Parivartan a Garhwali drama by Ishwari Datt Juyal)
(Garhwali Dramas, Kumauni Stage Plays, Dramas of Uttarakhand, Himalayan Dramas)

                                             Bhishm Kukreti

                     In all the era, the social theme is always there in the dramas. In a real sense, the initiation of modern Garhwali poetry started the first quarter of the twentieth century. Most of the Garhwali poetries are about social development and the eradication of inhuman social customs. The poetries of this age are preaching oriented.  The reason was quite obvious that the Indian culture is such that the educated and knowledgeable person has to preach the society. That is why in most of the Indian languages, the initiating literature is about preaching and idealistic features.
              In the Garhwali drama circle too, the initial dramas are with the objectives of teaching the society and developing the society as a whole.
            Parivartan drama by Ishwari Datt Juyal (Khetu, Khatali, Pauri Garhwal, expired in 1969 in Saharanpur) is also about social themes and the eradication of social wrongs happening in the society. Ishwari Datt was with Indian Railways in Karachi before independence and he published Parivartan drama in Karachi in the year 1934
             Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna remarked about the drama by Juyal,” The dialogues, language, and screenplay are marvelous in this social drama- Parivartan”.  The dialogues are a mixture of Hindi and Garhwali and are the source of bringing involvement of the audience.
         The following is an example of dialogues in the drama Parivartan by Ishwari Datt Juyal –
A-Mausa Ji! Hamku ayan bhaut din huya hain. Tu to badaa aadim hai hamkun thai milne ko bhi nai ayaa
B- Aajkal bhai Ji Karachi ma fukafat machyan hai
             Hari Datt Bhatt appreciated the sharpness of language.
               The story is about the migrated Garhwalis and Garhwali village. Due to migration, the changes were taking place in Garhwal not only in physical dimensions but in the thought processes of migrated Garhwalis and Garhwalis in the village too. The drama writer Ishwari Datt Juyal was able to show these changes and the struggle or conflicts happenings because of changes.
     Ishwari Datt Juyal was able to mirror the society of his time in Parivartan drama.

Review of Garhwali community theaters 
Hundred years of Modern Garhwali Dramas

                                     Garhwali Community Theatres from 1936- 1942

                                                             Bhishm Kukreti

              From publishing drams point of view, there is reference of only single book of drama in the introductory note of Gad Matyaki Ganga by Bahguna and article of Dr Hari Datt Bhatt. Vani Bhushan Sharma ‘Nipun’ published a drama ‘Prem Suman’ in 1936.
            Dr Bhatt briefs that the migrated Garhwalis of Mumbai, Delhi, Agra, Lahore, Dehradun and other places established social organizations. These organizations started organizing community stage plays or cultural programs in the lyrical forms. Many migrated people created prose plays and dramatized locally. The drams created locally were having full of folk songs in the theatrical plays. Since, the aim of these community programs were to involve migrated Garhwalis into community activities, the playwrights of this time never tried to publish dramas or keep the historical details of stage plays performed in the cultural programs.
           Community theatres are still the medium of strong binding among the migrated Garhwalis. For example, the community lyrical drama created by Baldev Rana has been being staged  in Mumbai since 2007 and is a medium to call migrated Uttarakhandis together  whenever the plays is staged  in a theatre. A known social worker D.D Sundariyal informed from Chandigarh that every year, Uttarakhandi communities have been staging a new community play in the cultural programs at theaters. By this way Garhwali and Kumauni theater is alive everywhere. 
     Since, this was the era of freedom movement the lyrical drams of community theaters were largely influenced by social reforms and freedom related ones. The lyrical dramas of community theaters were having the subject of history, religion, and social reforms.
           Community theatres provide initial exposures for the talents. Many Garhwali artists of film and television got initial exposures in the community theatres.  Famous TV artists Varun Badola and his sister played child artist in community drama Rajula Malu shahi when it was staged in Mumbai.
       Community theatres provide chance of people socializing too. The communities theatres provide chances bring feelings of togetherness create self esteem and community identity too. The volunteers working for community theatres boost the morale of the societies.
    The community theatres of migrated Garhwalis and Garhwalis of Garhwal before independence provided the foundation in respective places for progress of Garhwali theatres for coming years.

                                      Bhuton ka Khoh: A Garhwali Problem Play

      (Review of Bhuton ki Khoh Drama by Bhagwati Prasad Panthari )

                                    Bhishm Kukreti


                      The contribution of Professor Bhagwati Prasad Panthari (Tihri, 1914-1991) is immense for developing Garhwali literature. That is the reason that Dr. Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal calls the period of 1937- 1942 as ‘Panthari Era’ in modern Garhwali literature.
                   Bhuton ki Khoh drama is not fully a problem play as defined by western drama critics” Problem play deal with contentious social issues through debate between the characters on the stage who typically represent conflicting points of view within a realistic social context.”  However, in many ways, the drama is nearest to problem plays as suggested by Ramsden Balmforth in his books as ‘The ethical and religious values in drama ‘(1925) that there have been other social problems than * and married life as the problem of peace, the problem of violence, etc.
                    The drama ‘Bhuton ka Khoh deals two aspects of life. Whether a person should allow his conscious to work for him or he should be victim of parental wishes. The dramatist deals this aspect with philosophical manner. Another aspect is parents want their children get /do jobs and become caws that all milk them. The drama deals the conflict between ‘Follow the bliss’ and ‘Follow the materialistic world’.  Bhagwati Prasad Panthari had been a freedom fighter against Tihri Riyasat and he was aware the conflicting situation between a young boy willing to go for freedom movement against British rule  and parents who want that their son get job for parental and his own security. 
                 Bhagwati Prasad Panthari published ‘Bhuton ki Khoh ‘drama in 1940 through Garhwali Sahity Kutir, Banaras.
             The story of ‘Bhuton ki Khoh ‘drama is about a boy Kanti who lives in ‘Bhutia Makan’ with his parents, is an idealistic youth and due to following his consciousness, he is ready to sacrifice everything. Parents want that he should leave the freedom fighting activities of opposing the state and become a family man. Deputy Sahib wishes that Kanti marries his daughter. Due to high persuasion from parents and Deputy Sahib, Kanti agrees to take the job of British government and marry the daughter of deputy sahib. However, at the same time there is severe earth quack and everything vanishes.
              The drama deals with the long going conflicts of parents and young generation about young wants to jump into an unknown well of new creativity, innovation or new path but parents want that youth should take a materialistic path where future for all is secured. ‘Bhuton ki Khoh ‘drama discusses creativity and its fearful but unknown results.
            The ‘Bhuton ki Khoh ‘drama also discusses about the conflicts between ‘Atma ki Awaj’ and ‘Rivaj ki Awaj’ with very interesting and attracting dialogues.  Father is purely materialistic and the mother understands the inner values of a son but takes the side of her husband who suggests the son choose prosperity, and respect in the society against the new creative path. 
Baap-  tu hamari bhi naukari chalao . ijjat mitti ma milalo, sapoot
Kanti- ijjat mitaundaron ki ijjat paili mitdi
Bap- unh
Man- (Nirshyan jyun ma ) aakhir ham kah juanla ?
Kanti – atma ka Pradesh ma , jakh sab prakash ch, jakh andhero ujala ka dar se palla ni fatkdo
Baa- bak, bak , bak t.. t..t. ghrbaar grihasthi par saub bhanglo boi dya.
  The dialogues and language ‘ Bhuton ki Khoh ‘ drama are lively the audience feels that everything is walking. The author of ‘Bhuton ki Khoh ‘ drama took care about keeping dialogues as per the characters. The dialogues for the son are poetic, philosophical, idealistic, and more sophisticated, while the dialogues of the father are of rural vocabulary in nature
   The ‘Bhuton ki Khoh ‘drama is one of the bright stars in the modern Garhwali drama world.

Hundred Years of Garhwali dramas


               Adh:Patan : A Garhwali Drama by Bhagwati Prasad Panthari
           
                                                     Bhishm Kukreti

                    Professor Bhagwati Prasad Panthari  (1914-1991)was a prolific Garhwali and Hindi literature creative. When Bhagwati Prasad was studying, Panthari published two Garhwali dramas Bhuton ki Khoh (1940) and Adh: Patan (1940-41).
                 Both the plays were staged in various places in Tehri Riyasat. The subject of both the dramas was against Tihri Riyasat and British rule. Therefore, the Tehri riyasat administration banned both dramas for staging.
                         Adh: Patan is also about the people’s hardship, struggle for food etc, poverty under Tihri Riyasat, and misdeeds of the Tehri riyasat administration.  The Adh:Patan dram is also takes the problem as a central part and takes it in its high. There is a struggle for freedom and conflicts between the ruler and freedom fighters.
            The dialogues are in Tehri dialects and as per the characters of the drama. There are two examples of dialogues as-
  “ tu Ransu , ransu , gau ka lekh ni thai. Ransu , gad bhuchal dekh dain pani ma kani chh teri mukhdi. T takh dekhdi de gngal fal. Ee machu gaun ka saari pirthi ka firdi firdi aundan ar jaraa si pani pen ma yunkaa khuta tadak tuti jandan, abari ghas katan thau , bajariyon ka nauna t budend budend talai randan phun lgyaan”
And read this dialogue-
Naunu- paisa nit ha t pyar t thau. Main apanu Ransu pyar kardaun aur veenko pyaari abhilas puri karan ko mera pas dhan ni t pyaar t chh. Kyakanoon pyar ka vasta bhi paison k muchlka chando / kya sona ki kunji hi pyar ka darvajon khol sakdi? Kya kangal ki abhilasha dhool ma hi liptanaa ko hondi? Ve ko pyaar ki kulain dali kya doosaron ka such ki holi jalaun ko hi lapkadi ? kyon, kyaa lal topi de sakdi yanko jabab?
                        As in ‘ Bhuton ka Khoh’ Bhagwati   discusses the problem through discussion that the drama takes speed.

             Critics as Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna and Dr. Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal had been partial for not providing the deserved recognition to Baldev Prasad Sharma (Rami Baurani) and Jeet Singh Negi (Tu Holi Veera unchi nisi dandyun ma) for developing Garhwali poetry. These poets have influenced the modern Garhwali psych. However, critics did not name the era as Baldev Prasad Sharma era or Jeet Singh era.
                Same way much was talked about Chatak or Bahuguna for their contribution by many as if they transformed the modern Garhwali drama. Even Dr Anil Dabral provided more pages to Bahuguna and Chatak than Negi. Nobody can deny their contribution to developing intellectualism in Garhwali drama but from a staging point of view, Chatak and Bahuguna were not the masters. However, in a real sense, after independence, Jeet Singh Negi is who developed the Garhwali stage in cities where Garhwalis were migrated.
                 In fact, Jeet Singh Negi dominated the Garhwali stage for more than thirty years. The period from the Panthari era ends starts Jeet Singh Negi era. Since Jeet Singh Negi infused his own songs in the drama and intellectual critics did not provide Negi his dues except Dr Sudharani provided full credit to Jeet Singh Negi for his contribution in the Garhwali stage play world. Dr. Sudharani provides credit to the overwhelming success of ‘Bhari Bhul’ drama by Jeet Singh Negi for the entry of Lalit Mohan Thapliyal into the Garhwali drama world.
           Jeet Singh Negi staged an audience-oriented stage play ‘Bhari Bhul’ around 1955-1956 in Dehradun and published it in 1957. This milestone drama ‘Bhari Bhul’ was staged in Mumbai, Delhi, and in other many cities. The audience appreciated this blockbuster lyrical drama.
           Blockbuster lyrical drama   ‘Bhari Bhul’ has two acts and eleven scenes.
                  The lyrical, moral-oriented and philosophical drama is about conflicts between earning money or doing social activities through ethical means and earning or taking social activities through unethical means.  Jaggu is the son of a rich contractor. Instead of taking an interest, Jaggu takes interest in social causes. Hari Singh is a social worker and takes the job of building a school in the village. The philosophy of Hari Singh is to collect money through ethical means for building the school. Jaggu also wants to help society but wants to collect money by unethical means.  Hari Singh becomes angry on Jaggu for deceptively, Jaggu was a widower, an old man to a forty-year-old man for money's sake.  Hari Singh shouts at Jaggu and in retaliation, Jaggu leaves the social work and goes to the city for taking contract jobs.
                    Jaggu becomes addicted to alcohol drinking, womanizing, gambling, and other harmful habits. Due to these activities, Jaggu loses his father’s property. His mother dies and his father becomes insane due to shock. Hari Singh calls Jaggu to the village where Jaggu sees the worsening condition of his wife in the village and Jaggu realizes the result of his misdeeds.
                             There are songs and dances  in the drama to express the emotions and they are woven successfully that they become the source of speed in the drama.
                  The dialogues in the drama are in normal conversational ways and are effective in engaging the audience.
Jaggu- dada! Aaj mero jyu kakhdi kahnau bulnu ch. Ek kakhdi mai diyaali !
Gayalu(hukka chhodik)- n-n-n khabardar kakhdyun nau na lhe ikh, nithar min twe paili gaali dianan
Or
“ buba ..! par meri bwarin ky khoye. Min t pap karye , logunk swagvanti bwaryun ka patyun ma sut byaj leki karjaa deya, ar oo karjaa chukana ban pardesh ma lapata hwe gaini . mi t oon swagvanti byaryun k sarap ch lagnu . par meri bwari kilai ch mera kayun ko fal bhugtani .”
     Jeet Singh Negi wrote dialogues for ‘Bhari Bhul’  drama of daily uses such as criticizing others, false appreciation, sadness, enthusiasm, illusion, sating, laughing, contentment, etc.
   Jeet Singh Negi has been successful in developing characterization and each character impresses the audience.
               The drama ‘Bhari Bhul’ is definitely a popular class drama and the overwhelming response of the audience for this drama paved the way for encouraging dramatists such as Lalit Mohan Thapliyal, Hari Datt Bhatt Shailes, Damodar Prasad Thapliyal to enter into Garhwali drama world. ‘Bhari Bhul’ is the drama that created the audience for Garhwali drama in cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
              ‘Bhari Bhul’ by Jeet Singh Negi is a milestone in the history of the Garhwali drama world.

                        Contribution of Jeet Singh Negi in Developing Garhwali Drama Culture

                                  Adaptation -Bhishma Kukreti
           
“ Too wheli Beera uchi nisi dandyun man ghasiyaryun ka bhesh man…” stirred so much the insight of Uttrakhand written by Jeet Singh Negi that not only common men but even the knowledgeable Uttarakhandis perceive that this famous song is a folk song .
      A couple of few people knew that Jeet Singh Negi created this song on the road, Agara Road, Bhandup , Mumbai at around 11PM. This author is fortunate that he listened to the autos-story of Jeet Singh Negi about creation of this song by Jeet Singh himself at the residence of Mrs Pushpa Dobhal and her husband Professor Radha Ballabh Dobhal, Garhwal Darshan, Mumbai. Professor Dobhal have the recorded tape told the story of the creation of ‘too wheli beera…” by Negi .
     He was the initiator of creating Garhwali songs, singing, and performing cultural shows in various parts of India
I tried for searching on the net for a complete biography of Jeet Singh Negi. However, my surprise is that nothing much is written about this great personality of India in web-world.
This write-up is to provide full honor to a legendary creative ever born in Uttarakhand.
It is Negi’s popularity that the census department (jangana vibhag) of government of India (1961) in its Vol.XV, Uttar Pradesh, Part V, Gramya Survekhsan, page48, describes the popularity of the song “too wheli beera…”
Great Uttarkhandi personality Govindh Ballabh Pant was fond of the talent of Negi and he used to call Jeet Singh Negi for performing of welcoming cultural show before foreign delegates as a cultural show by Negi’s troop before Chines delegate when Pant was home minister of India.

               Ghar Javain: A Hilarious, Satirical, and Humorous Garhwali Drama   

                 (Review of ‘Ghar Javain’ Drama by Lalit Mohan Thapliyal)

(Notes on Comedy, Humorous Dramas of World Literature; Indian Comedy, Humorous Dramas; Himalayan Comedy, Humorous Dramas; Uttarakhandi Comedy, Humorous Dramas; Garhwali Comedy, Humorous Dramas)

                                            Bhishm Kukreti


                    ‘Ghar Javain’ is one of the humorous and satirical dramas of famous Garhwali playwright Lalit Mohan Thapliyal. Lalit Mohan Thapliyal wrote his four great dramas in Garhwali from 1958 to-1964. Garhwali Sangit Natak samaj New Delhi published the hilarious drama ‘Ghar Javain’ in 1964. However, before its publication, the Garhwali community organizations in various cities staged this humorous and amusing drama ‘Ghar Javain’.
                   ‘Ghar Javain’ means the bride lives in the bride’s home and is settled there forever.
            The story of the humorous and thoughtful drama ‘Ghar Javain’ is having humor and morality too.  The cunning persons of the village instigate ‘Ghar Javain’ to have alcohol and then these conning people activate the ‘Ghar Javain’ for gambling. In gambling, by shrewdness, a cunning person wins the wife of Ghar Javain’. The aim was that these crooked ones would take the money ‘sinuously ‘from the wife of Ghar Javain.  However, in reality, it turns just the opposite and unexpected. The wife of Ghar Javain’ asks the winner of her in gambling to become Ghar Javain’. The crooked one has to become Ghar Javain and she takes all household hard work from the crooked one as Ghar Javain’. The crooked one runs away from the new situation.
          Without preaching the playwright provides a couple of messages against alcohol and gambling. In India, there is a certain image of a Ghar Javain’ and the drama writer Lalit Mohan Thapliyal cashes on the same images by showing the insulting situation of a Ghar Javain’. The humorous drama is very successful in binding the audience.
              The story and the dialogues of ‘Ghar Javain’ a comedy-drama are entertaining and create laughter. The characters look real.
             Marvva (bald se) – ankwae, ankwe! Lola lamsingya tathga mijaj ni kaudi. Bheentaa und podi gau. Kauthig t paunchhi ja sukhi santi-kain leenaa ik singtutto.
                Everybody will appreciate the imaginative power of the playwright of the humorous drama ‘Ghar Javain’ The speed of the drama is again exclusivity of Lalit Mohan Thapliyal.
          Humorous, hilarious, and at the same time moral provider ‘Ghar Javain’ a comedy-drama is one of the finest dramas in the Garhwali language.

                           Garhwali Plays Staged in Mumbai

                                Hindi article by late Dinesh Bhardwaj

                             Translated by Bhishm Kukreti

         Parsi theatre has been dominating the Mumbai theatre world. Parsi theatre-style influenced modern popular Marathi drama too.
               It is difficult to find the birth of the Garhwali play staged first time in Mumbai. ‘Bhari Bhul’ is remembered by most the people that Bhari  Bhul by Jeet Singh Negi is the first drama staged in Mumbai (around 1952)
              From Mumbai’s playwrights concerned, the first Garhwali play was staged in 1962-1963 by Garhwal Bhratri Mandal. Late Deen Bandhu Dwivedi wrote this drama.
   Garhwal Bhratri Mandal staged another Garhwali play ‘ Guldasta’ written by playwright late Jagdish Prasad Balodi. National integrity is the theme of ‘Guldasta’ and is a purely morality-based play.
             As far as Garhwali plays are concerned in Mumbai, the period 1960-1 970 is the ‘Lalit Mohan Thapliyal Era’.  Social organizations staged ‘ Khadu lLpata’ more than eight times. Bhratri Mandal staged ‘ Ekikaran’ and ‘Ghar Javain ’  Garhwali plays written by Lalit Mohan Thapliyal .
          Alaknanda Delhi drama group headed by Swarup Dhoundiyal staged ‘Ardhgrameshwar a famous Garhwali play by Rajendra Dhashmana in Mumbai from 1973-to 1974.
                  Alaknanda Delhi drama group headed by Swarup Dhoundiyal staged ‘Adalat’ and ‘ Mangtu Baulya’ plays written by Swarup Dhoundiyal in Mumbai in 1975-1976.
                   The ‘Kala Shakha’ of Garhwal Bhartri Mandal staged ‘ Ghar Javain’ of Lalit Mohan  Thapliyal in 1975-1976.
                   Uttarakhand Jan Kalyan Samiti , Mumbai staged ‘ Maletha ki Kool’a Garhwali play written by Jeet Singh Negi in 1975-1976
                  Garhwal Bharatri Mandal staged a lyrical play ‘Tilu Rautela’ in 1989. Dinesh Bhardwaj wrote songs, and dialogues of the said stage play. Dinesh Bhardwaj and Ummed Singh Bisht (father of famous singer Kalpana Chauhan)   produced and directed ‘Tilu Rautela’ with a troop of forty artists.
   Dinesh Bhardwaj and Ummed Singh Bisht (father of famous singer Kalpana Chauhan) wrote produced and directed a Garhwali play ‘Palayan’ under the banner of Garhwal Bhratri Mandal in 1989. The theme of ‘Palayan’ is based on the problem of migration from Garhwal to urban regions.
              Garhwal Bhartri Mandal staged a couple of times a Garhwali play ‘Budya Lapata’ written by Dinesh Bhardwaj and Raman Kukreti.
       Around 1990-to 1995, Sonu Panwar staged ‘ Jhoudu Llatu’ a Garhwali play written by him two times. The drama is influenced by Amitabh Bacchan's fame ‘ Shahnshah’a  Hindi feature film
                                   Garhwal Kala Kendra, Jogeshwari, Mumbai staged a Garhwali play ‘ Murkhalya Budya ‘ written and directed by Mahaveer Singh Bisht. The drama attacks sharply the modern culture for not providing due respect to old values and at the same time criticizes the orthodox culture for not understanding the need for transformation to adjust new culture. Dialogues are marvelous and are as per the characters. 
                Recently (2009-2011) , Baldev Rana has been staging a lyrical Garhwali play ‘ Bhad Madho Singh Bhandari’ in Mumbai and the Garhwali play has been getting a good response from the audience too.
