उकाव
क्षितिज शर्मा


मूल्य   :    $13.95 
प्रकाशक   :    किताबघर प्रकाशन
आईएसबीएन   :    81-7016-769-8

'उकाव' पहाड़ी जिंदगी की चढ़ाई की गाथा है। एक मायने में उपन्यास की कथा पुरुष-नियंत्रित समाज द्वारा नारी पर थोपे गये उत्पीड़क नियमों की भर्त्सना है। नैतिकता के इकहरे मानदंडों के कारण किन्हीं कमजोर क्षणों में हुई एक तथा कथित 'गलती' के प्रतिकार में श्यामा किस तरह अपना जीवन होम कर देती है, लेखक ने इस संघर्ष को इतने मार्मिक और प्रामाणिक ढंग से चित्रित किया है कि वह पहाड़ी औरत की जिंदगी का दस्तावेज बन गया है।

कुमाऊँ के पहाड़ों का ग्रामीण जीवन जितनी अंतरंगता और विविधता से इस उपन्यास में चित्रित हुआ है,वह बरबस रेणु और शैलैश मटियानी की याद दिला देता है। संभवतः किसी रचना का आंचलिक बनना इस बात पर निर्भर है कि वह किसी स्थान विशेष के लोगों का चित्रण करते हुए वहाँ की भौगोलिक ही नहीं बल्कि सांस्कृतिक और मूल्यगत विशिष्टताओं को कितनी उत्कृटता व सघनता से अभिव्यक्त करती है।

 इस संदर्भ में देखें तो 'उकाव' निश्चित ही एक आंचलिक रचना है, पर तब दुनिया की कौन-सी ऐसी रचना है जो इस बात से न पहचानी जाती हो की उसमें कितनी गहराई और मजबूती से अपने समय की पहचान छिपी है ?
सही मायनों में देखा जाये तो प्रेम, प्रतिकार, बलिदान और संघर्ष की यह गाथा अपनी भौगोलिक और सांस्कृतिक सीमाओं का अतिक्रमण करती हुई पहाड़ी औरत के ही नहीं बल्कि संपूर्ण भारतीय नारी के बहुआयामी व विराट स्वरुप का दर्शन कराती है। और यही लेखक की सृजनात्मकता की कसौटी है।

यह इत्तफाक नहीं है कि क्षितिज शर्मा लेखन की उस परंपरा के अधिक निकट पड़ते हैं जिसका स्त्रोत शैलैश मटियानी हैं।मटियानी जी की रचनाओं में पहाड़ी जीवन की झाँकी सबसे ज्यादा वास्तविक और प्रमाणिक ढंग से नजर आती है। क्षितिज शर्मा उस परंपरा को आगे बढ़ाते हुए पहाड़ी गांवो के संघर्षमय जीवन को जिस तरह से चित्रित करते हैं, वह मुझ जैसे तथाकथित पहाड़ियों के लिये एक‘रिबिलेशन‘ से कम नहीं है।

  Then Rajendra Dhashma declares that Kanhya Lal Dandriyal , Vinod Uniyal and Netra Singh Aswal could successfully alter the poetry from the point of view of form , structure, displaying the realism I Garhwali poetry.
 Rajendra Dhashmana named Garhwali Gazal as Ganjeli and in the opinion of Bhishma Kukreti, Rajendra Dhashmana is first critic who broke the beaten path of Garhwali language criticism .

Nagaraja Part -1 an epic by Kanhaya lal Dandriyal (1993): The name of introductory note is ‘Jagar se paili’ by Dr Govind Chatak. The title of introductory note “jagar se Paili ‘ is self explanatory as the discussion is about the mental, physical and spiritual situation of the creator in creating an epic. Learned Chatak discusses the problems faced by any poet in  creating an epic and shows some sign of overcoming such hurdles. When a poet takes the mythological subject for poetry , there may be various consequences. If the poet does not attach the story to the present situation , the poem may be mere a subject of methodical subject and cant be relevant for present society. When the poet attach present (as successfully done by Dandriyal) with the methodical subject , the poetry becomes relevant and more attractive. However, Dr Govind  cautions directly or indirectly that a poet trying connecting present with mythological time should not destroy the basic of mythological story. Dr Chatak discusses the aspects of making mythological subject more relevant .

Uttarakhand Geetmala , a poetry collection by Ramswarup Sundriyal (1997): Dr Chandra Mohan Chamoli wrote introductory note in Hindi. Editor Anand Singh Negi wrote editorial note on the poems of Sundriyal and Negi support the principle that a poet has social responsibility about suggesting  readers  for taking works of social benefits

Chungti , a poetry collection by Surendra pal (2000)“ Madhusudan Thapliyal wrote introductory note. Thapliyal discuses about Dalit Sahity . Though, the suppression on harijan/Shilpkar  was different in Garhwal than plains of Indian but unsociability and non ownership over land was a critical factor for Shilpkar (untouchables community ) and Madhusudan explains that such pain could be displayed through poetic form only when a poet passes through those physical and mental pains.  In his introductory notes, Madhusudan thrashes out the social structure and need of changes required for bringing equaity from social fronts and economic front as well.
 Basant geet , poetry collection by Mahesh Dhashmana :  There are comments of various well wishers in Hindi
Uktata, a satirical and humrous poetry collection by Harish Juyal ‘Kutz’ (2001):  Madhusudan Thapliyal wrote introductory note by name “ Kavi ar Vaiko Rachnakarm” . Madhusudan Thapliyal put light many aspects of literature creativity and his note also shows that criticism In garhwali language literature is evolving from era to era. Now Madhusudan type of critics discussing various aspects of literature when they discuss a specific creative and this is good sign for Garhwali language . Madhusudan reminds readers and intellectuals that unless and until there is a social or creative movement the rare creative gene can not take birth. Indirectly he tells that more than creative movement , there is always need of social movement for fertility of creativity. Madhusudan pin points in  the discussion that the history, geography , cultural mythology of an area create the genius as Harish Juyal,  Madhusudan taking clue from Juyal reveals  that usually, in Garhwali poetry , the poet starts the birth of pain and ends with mental thinking or technique to reliving pain but juyal goes beyond just thinking or worrying about the prevailing wrong situation and paves the way for social mobilization to overcome wrong happenings in the society. More or less Madhusudan Thapliyal is concerned about more responsibility for creative community than other compartments of the community. Again , here, the criticism may take new avtar if the creativity has depth as Madhusudan found wholesomeness in the poems of Harish Juyal.
Andi Jandi Sans , a poetry collection by Madan Duklan (2001) : Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna stated in his  introductory note that personal  characteristics of a poet is always reflected in the words, lyrical senses, depth in the poems.  Bahuguna sets eyes on the pomes from the angles of references, events, description , construction of poetry by suitable phrases (symbols/images) communicating capability, sensibility , perception verses meaning expressing capacity of the  poet and the relevant subject of the society. His language is complex to understand for common readers. Here, Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna failed miserably to expand his own past work in critcism in Garhwali literature.
  Ranu Bisht the publisher shows the problems of publisher of Garhwali literature but appreciates the guts, struggle of literature creators as Madan Duklan and publishers who are obsessed about developing the Garhwali literature .She reveals how a poet’s (Madan’s) obsession can convert the highly profit oriented business minds ( example-aim of Ranu Bisht to make profit) into serving the society
 Harbi-Harbi , a ghazal collection by Madhusudan Thapliyal :  Since, it was a first Gazal collection in Garhwali language, Lokesh Navani explains the basics of Ghazal and states that Urdu gazals was Love rapture oriented , Hindi gazals are beyond love and Hindi gazals makers want to connect Gazal poetry with the fundamentals of common men. Lokesh also stresses that Garhwali Gazal maker should also follow the Hindi gazal complexions by connecting the needs and aspirations of common men rather paying attention on love rapture. Lokesh investigates that the new concept Gazal in gaarhwali became easily understandable because Madhusudan uses   Garhwali phrases, symbols and Madhusudan makes effectively  Gazal as part of Garhwali literature. Lokesh supports that the poet should follow ,” subjective approach with objective adjustment” philosophy .
Gwathani gaon bate , a poetry collection of seventeen poets, edited by Madan Duklan (2002):    Bhagwati Prasad Nautiyal wrote introductory note. This is the first  poetry collection of various  poets in one volume which, was published after Shailvani and after formation of separate state Uttarakhand . Without mentioning the past poetry collections by various poets in one volume , Bhagwati Prasad Nautiyal briefed in two or three sentences about responsible works by earlier age Garhwali poets and discusses about freshness in the contemporary Garhwali poetic field from the points of techniques, form, lyrical principles (seems to be the subject of Sanskrit classic Kavy prakash) , and proofed that Garhwali poetry has come in new avatar . He pin points that realism has come long way in the present poems of this volume. . Its sad that the Gathwani gaon bate has its own importance and the introductory note should have been unique because of the various newness in the volume but Bhagwati Prasad Nautiyal’s commentary is the most frustrating point of the volume. Bhagwati Prasad Nautiyal took the lead in bringing evolution in the field of criticism in Garhwali literature when he wrote introductory note for ‘Ilmatu dada’ but it seems that he did not try to evolve Garhwali criticism from that time. It does not mean that  Nautiyal did not do commentary as per need but he was expected to evolve his own criticism which, he showed promise in Ilmatu dada’.
Danda Kantha Swar , a first attempt to bring garhwali and Kumauni languge poems by various poets in single volume, edited by Gajendra Batohi (2002) : the editorial notes are in Hindi and Kumauni. However, Batohi paid attention on the characteristics of Uttarakhand than poems in his editorial note.

The learned Karmkandi Brahmin Sundriyal talks about necessary Karmkand of poetry creation that a poet should have social awareness, self actualization for the particular subject, the knowledge of poetic principles and apart from using right words/phrase for becoming Harish Juyal as the most sought poet of his time.
Anjwal, a poetry collection by Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal (second edition -2004)  Dr Govind Chatak  maintains that the poet should have complete awareness about happenings around him, should know the finest points of life and at the same time the poet should have estimation of a critic too for creating fine poetries.

Garhwali Mangal , collected and edited by Tota Ram Dhoundiya, 2009 :  Lokesh Navani discusses three issues in his introductory notes.

               It is obvious that the criticism of poetry also developed along with the development of Garhwali poetry and shaped accordingly. The major concern for Garhwali criticism in the form of  introductory note on poetry collections is that most of critic followed either Sanskrit classical theories or criticism in Hindi principles. No critic could develop an original Garhwali Criticism Form in terms of explaining poetry and creating or selecting words of criticism in Garhwali language. Garhwali language has at least 13000 proverbs in record which, means that Garhwali language cant be without words used for criticism in day to day words. If Garhwali critics could not provide pure Garhwali vocabulary for literature criticism it has many meanings . First, the critic is not taken serious job in Garhwali literary field. The critics either don’t read the literature whom they are writing analysis or they just does the formality in writing introductory note. The criticism of Garhwali poetry did not start in writing in Garhwali but in Hindi (Garhwali Kavitavali, 1932) and later on the critics followed same pattern of Hindi criticism or who had knowledge of Sanskrit language , they followed classic way of criticism for Garhwali literature . The critics as Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna, Bhagwati Prasad Nautiyal, Dr Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal, Devendra Joshi (Dehradun) whose contribution is the highest in Garhwali criticism brought freshness at the initial stage but later on they became victim of their own set of pattern in criticism. Even , the critics as Madhusudan, Madan Duklan, Girish Sundriyal or Virendra Panwar gone away from the beaten path , but they never tried to collect ‘phrases’ from Garhwali language store for Garhwali criticism vocabulary nor they ever tried to create new criticism vocabulary for garhwali language . This aspect also shows that the literature creative did not take criticism serious job.
 No doubt , critics did not take any ism or principle (as communism , expressionless, surrealism, etc) as single factor to analyze the poetry but they also failed to create exclusive way of criticism in Garhwali literature too.
However, from various problems being faced by Garhwali literature, it may be said that certainly, there is progressive development in criticism as separate literature segment from 1932 till date .

Critical History of  Garhwali Poetry
Anjwal: One of the Great Satirical Poetry Collections of World Literature
(Review of  Anjwal -Garhwali Poetry collection by Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal ‘The Great Poet’)
                                 Bhishma Kukreti
   No doubt, Sada Nand Kukreti (1923)  initiated satire as serious business in Garhwali by publishing first Garhwali story Garhwali That’ in Vishal Kirti but in true sense in modern Garhwali poetic field, Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal used satirical poems as to make serious and even frightening remarks on the dangers of the sweeping social, economical, spiritual  changes taking place throughout Garhwal and among migrated Garhwalis . Many critics as nathi Prasad Suyal state that we may find similarities in the work of Kanhya Lal Dandriyal and Horace, Persius, and Juvenal for  Dandriyal’s  satires about the life, vice, and moral decay Kanhaya Lal  saw around him as ‘Garhwali Sanstha’ of this volume.
  When Hindi critic Dr Manjula Dhoundiyal read poems of Anjwal, she said to this author “ I shall put Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal near to a French satirist of seventeenth century  Roger Rabutin de Bussy for his wit and calmness in describing the changes”
  Manmohan Jakhmola a post graduate in English literature, a literature lover and great admirer of Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal says that Dandriyal had to work hard for creating satirical Garhwali poems when most of the Garhwali  poets were either following Hindi literature  or busy in old style in terms of subject and versification, Kanhaya Lal came with new subject and the original satire of Garhwal into Garhwali literature.  Jakhmola further says that Dandriyal might have worked  hard in creating satire in Garhwali as eighteenth century American satirists as  Lemuel Hopkins,  Joel Barlow, Philip Freneau , John Trumbull, Hugh Henry Brackenridge did hard work in creating satire .
         The second edition  of Anjwal has fifty poems of Dandriyal. First issue was published in 1969 and Anjwal became a mile stone in the Garhwali poetic field that from here the Garhwali  poems transformed style , body, subjects ,  and creativity of Garhwali poems as well the thinking of Garhwali  poets . The Garhwali poems took new shape from conventional wisdom in many ways.
  The poems show that Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal was very sensitive, had the eyes ofa critic and had the power of  narrating serious and critical the subject through humorous and satirical methodology. Kanhya Lal show the putrefied social  system through effective wit that readers laugh but feel acute pain inside their mind, intellect and ego. Madan Duklan a garhwali critic and editor states that the  poems of Anjwal are provocative but do not create enmity among the society.
    Famous Garhwali folk literature expert, Hindi dramatist, Hindi poet, story teller, critic Govind Chatak says that the satirical poems as Satya Narayan Brat Katha, Mi Garhwali chhaun, Dhyabron ki Rally, Garhwali sanstha, Hamaru Garhwal are the world class poems and these poems are one of best poems among two hundred best satirical poems of world literature. Lokesh Navani a Garhwali critic and Puran Pant a poet and editor state about these poems and other poems that these poems are the classic poems for international literature.
 Girish Sundriyal a Garhwali poet says that his other poems Sarsu  Sanhar, Thyakra are best examples of bringing realism with the capsule of satire and humor into Garhwali literature in seventies.
 Harish Juyal a marvelous satirical Garhwali poet supports the statement of Dr Govind Chatak that  style of Jagar. Rakhwali and Tantra Mantra in many Garhwali poems of Kanhya Lal Dandriyal are very effective and readers enjoy those poems by heart.
   The garhwali critic and Garhwali literature publisher Nathi Prasad Suyal states , “ In the poems of Dandriyal , we find the mixer of realism, experiencing , pain for wrong changes happenings, and at the same time the poet provide suggestions to as teacher but differently than his predecessor Garhwali poets.”
  Bhishma Kukreti wrote in the special issue of Hamri Chitthi about Kanhya Lal Dandriyal that the poems of Anjwal of Kanhya Lal Dandriyal are the inner experiences of a Garhwali women, which no Garhwali poet could touch so marvelously as Dandriyal did . Kukreti called Dandriyal as Ardh NariIswar at the time of creating poetries.
    About the poems of Anjwal, Nathi Prasad Suyal and Dr Govind Chatak rightly said that Dandriyal did not leave any important aspect of life in Garhwal and life of migrated common Garhwalis.
  Jaipal Singh Rawat a famous Garhwali symbolic poet state that no Garhwali poets of past as Dandriyal used Garhwali symbols so perfectly that even a common person can fully understand the meaning and insight of poems of Dandriyal.
  Parashar Gaud the great admirer of Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal  finds that Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal was expert of creating real images of rural Garhwal and life sketches of common migrated Garhwalis so effectively that makes him one of the greatest poets of  all world languages.
 Each poems of Anjwal take the readers to one important aspect of garhwali life of sixties and before.
 Kanhya lal Dandriyal was the master of garhwali vocabulary and this poetry collection is the proof. The poems are so simple and under stable that a migrated Garhwali who never read Garhwali literature will also read all poems and will enjoy.
Anjwal is a heritage of world languages  literature and we should arrange proper distribution of this poetry collection all corners of world among Garhwalis.

(a Short Review of Ankh Pankh a Poetry collection for Children by Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna )
                                   Bhishma Kukreti
       Garhwalis are grateful to  Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna for his poetries for children as the critics value famous poets as Edward Lear   , Francis Scott Key, Jonathan Swift, G. K Chesterton,  Louisa  May Alcott, Robert Bridges , Joseph Rodman Drake, Julia W Howe, Lewis Carroll, Oliver W. Holmes,  Marry Hewitt , Richards Jones,  Robert Stevenson,  Rudyard Kipling, T .S Elliot, Thomas Hood , William Blake, Stephen foster, Shel Silverstein for creating verses for children.
       There are two poetry collections in Garhwali language for children that is Dr Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal  edited a few folk poetries in Bal Upyogi Lok geet and other collection is ‘Ankh-Pankh’ a modern Garhwali poems by renowned literature  creative Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna. 
    Terry  (1974 ) and Fisher Natarella (1982)  found by their independent scientific researches that children like the narrative  poems over lyrical ones, children prefer poetic formed poems,  children favor rhythmical poems,  the rhythmical poems should be regular and distinctive poems and children favor the harmonious  poems, verses of animals , and poetries about familiar experiences. Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna has been marvelous in creating poems ( Poems of Ankh Pankh) for children on the above characteristics of poems for children.   
       There are twenty seven poems in this first collection of Garhwali poetries for children. Each poem is different in subject and theme. ‘Raja Rangdo‘, ‘Leesa a Mankhi‘, ‘Bhainsya‘, ‘Lalchi Master’  poems are best example of telling the stories for children through poetries . Petpal is a humorous poem. ‘Bedvart’ is about narration of Khirsu fair near Pauri . Abodh Bandhu cleverly tells a folk story through verses in ‘Hirnakurs‘. ‘Jitha Ji’  poem narrates culture of Garhwal and children will enjoy solving riddles and many questions in poems- Chatur Kaje’ bat ki Bat. Sukdi poem offers message with joy and simple wordings. Akhod Jhadai tells the action of farmers of Garhwal and Ghindwa Ghindudi attract the children for animal oriented stories. Kani Maja ho teaches the geography through simile and Abodh shows his mastery in using simile . Choli and faunsi are again the folk stories in the form of poetries. Like that other poems are attractive to the children
    The style of Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna is very fine and children could understand the poem easily.  The language is very simple and Bahuguna used contemporary proverbs and saying in creating poems.  Humour is always there in most of the poem and the poems provide knowledge and message but by indirect methods.
Conclusively it is right  that as the literature historian Roger Blackwell Beilley applauds the works of Aelfric, Caxton, William, Sir Thomas Malory , John Foxe, Richard Malcaster, Richard Hakluyt , John Cotton, John A Comenius, John Bunyan, Charles Perrault, Antony Galland , Isaac Watts, Oliver Goldsmith Daniel DeFoe, Thomas Day, Charles Lamb, William Roscoe, Jacob Grimm, Johan R Wyss, Washington Irving,  Sir Walter Scott, Clement Moore, H C Anderson,  William McGuffey, E .A Poe, Charles Dickens, Alexander Dumas, Edward Lear, John Ruskin, Thomas Bulfinch, Henry w Longfellow, Charles Kingsley, R M Ballantyne, M .M Dodge, Jules Verne, George McDonald, Dinah M Craik, Samuel Clemens, Mark Twain, Anna Sewell, Alfred Church, Sidney Lanier, J.W Riley, F H.
