Garhwali literature  :54

                             Baldev Prasad Nautiyal: Philologist, Poet and Prose maker

                                                  Bhishma Kukreti

  Professor  Baldev Prasad Nautiyal is famous for his article writing, writing about aspects of philology of Garhwali , and creating poetry in Garhwali . He got fame in Sanskrit literature creation and  was  a writer of Hindi language too.
      Baldev Prasad Nautiyal was born in 1895, in Kadakot, Gagwadsyun of Pauri Garhwal. He passed M .A in Sanskrit from Lahor University , Lahor and started his career as Sanskrit lecturer in Lahor College.
  Very soon, Baldev Prasad Nautiyal  became expert of training to teachers, creating new style of Sanskrit study in schools and colleges,  and syllabus making for Sanskrit language in Lahor. Apart from publishing many books for college studies in Sanskrit language, his book “Dwitiya Pathy Pustakam’ in Sanskrit  became the most famous syllabus book for colleges.
       After partition, he spent some times in Chamoli as Principal in Eastmain . Later on he shifted to Delhi.
 He created a Garhwali dictionary in Lahor but was lost while escaping from Lahor to Delhi. He rewrote this dictionary in Delhi . This dictionary is more about finding the origin of Garhwali words than the meaning. However, as Kanhayalal Dandriyal could not publish his 45,000 words dictionary, Nautiyal could not publish his works of eminent . There is a sample of his work for Garhwali dictionary published by Garhwali Sahitya Parishad Lahor in 1942, titled as ‘Garhwali Shabd Bhandar’. By studying the sample, any body can guess that the work of Nautiyal is of high research and Nautiyal had deep knowledge of Sanskrit, Pali, Maghadi, Khadi Boli and Garhwali as well.
We have only left a published work in Garhwali language ’ Chhaya Ramayan’ a poetry collection and a novel in Garhwali- Byalmun-Byunral. Respectful researcher late Pitamber Dutt Devrani states that he published his memoir in Hindi and published many essays of philological subject of Garhwal language in Garhwali and Hindi as well.

Garhwali  Poet
   Mal Chand Ramola : Who Collected Garhwali  Bajuband Kavya (Folk Love Poems )
                                                                        Bhishma Kukreti
   There have been  many Garhwali folk  literature lovers who collected, reviewed the Garhwali Folk Songs, Folk Stories, Folk Arts , Proverbs but the author is witness that there have been only on Garhwali folk poetry lover and his name  is Malchand Ramola. Ramola is also famous for creating Garhwali Dictionary,  creating modern Garhwali poetry, publishing articles in Garhwali in regional periodicals, reading commentary on various subjects and Garhwali folk poems in All India Radio (Akashvani)
     The literature of any language develops when its primitive literature is published and popularized among not only among its inhabitants but to other areas too. Malchand Ramola is credited to collect the primitive forms of Garhwali poetry ( which is still created in rural of Garhwal by its inhabitants) an dmaking it popular among Garhwalis and non-Garhwalis
   One of the true and dedicated Garhwali folk literature lovers Malchand Ramola was born on 19th November 1915 in village bangdwara, Patti Dharmandal of Tihri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. After passing High School from Pratap Inter College Tihri, he joined Uttar Pradesh government Police services. He retired as Sub Inspector of Uttar Pradesh Police.
      As a cop man , Malchand Ramola had to travell various remote areas of Tihri Garhwal and used to come with various types of people and the Garhwali  literature lover Malchand took the opportunity for knowing various types of Garhwali folk literature, vocabulary of Garhwali  specially poetic verses. Most of the knowledgeable Garhwalis did not take much interest in knowing all about Gbajuband Kavya or Garhwali Folk verse. Ramola  took keen interest in Garhwali Bajuband poetries which is normally called  Garhwali Love poems. However, Ramola found that the Bajuband poems are not only limited to love poems but the Garhwali folks have been creating Bajuband verses in all fields of subject.
He was influenced by great poet Turudatt  who advocated folk poems in the following lines:
Absurd may be the tail I tell
It’ll suited to marching times
I love the lips from which it fell
So let it stand among my rhymes
  Malchand Ramola will always be remembered in Garhwali literature for collecting the folk poems called Bajuband kavita and publishing two hundred fifty one such poems and then distributing the book free of cost that people know that Garhwal had a treasure of  folk poems , which a re exclusive from common folk songs.
Bajuband poems are couplets and the first part does not have any relation to the second or last line. The last line has meaning in Bajuband verse.
Malchand Ramola not only collected folk poems of Garhwal but he reviewed each Bajuband verse by telling meaning of words and hidden meanings in Hindi,. He also compared each poem with poems of other languages.
Let the author shows one example of his work in reviewing the garhwali folk poems
 fulee jaai lai---taruni Javani ko saj maya deni laai
He explained the poetry, compared this poem with a Braj Poem that the poet spent four stanzas in explaining same emotion ,  similarity with   four lined verse of  Vidyapati Thakur (Maithali ) , a Couplet of Das of Hindi, correspondenced  with   ‘Shers or gazals’  of famous Urdu poets Ustad Jauk, and Ustad Shauki, paralleled  with the poem of English poet Lord Tennyson , evaluated with  the couplets of Kabeer das, and measured with the poems of Raskhan Khan Khana.
 The readers may understand the sound work of Malchand for reviewing each couplet of Garhwali Bajuband or Folk poem.
Though, now, Malchand Ramola is no more with us in this world but his contribution has been praised by eminent knowledgeable personalities of Garhwal as captain Shr Beer Singh brother of ex King of Garhwal , Dr Mahavver Prasad Gairola a prominent signature in Garhwali literature, Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna the top most literature creative of garhwali language, Arjun Singh Gusain the editor of Hilans, Ishwari Prasad Uniyal the editor of Garhwali daily paper  Gadhaina and many more. Bhishma Kukreti wrote a fine commentary on this book Bajuband Kavya in Gadhaina and Ramola wrote that Bhishma Kukreti understood the urge of Ramola for publishing such a fine book in the history of Garhwali literature
