-
Doctor Sab a Stage play by senior and famous Garhwali stage playwright Kula Nand Ghanshala illustrates the worsening condition of rural public health service in Garhwal. The play shows that government is not bent to offer health service to the rural public but creating bad situation for playing with the human life. In the play, Kula Nand shows various patients with normal illness but the hospital workers take diseases and humans as filth rather human beings. The hospital employees just are passing time as found in reality.
The drama is an example of reality and dialogues and scenes look as real. The playwright is successful in creating interest to readers what will happen next.
The language is from Pabau or Rath region side and easily understood.
The dialogues are as per the characters as Garhwali speak Garhwali, Old owmen speak in old way of Garhwali especially numbers and hospital employees in Hindi as they are from plains and not from Garhwal.
Rajesh (hospital employees)- Lo kar lo Bat main kah riya hun yahan kyon ayi hai?
Jhagri- Aspatal ma kyanku aaundin lok, kuch dukh takleef hi t hweli !
Rajesh – tere chehre se to na lage ki tujhe kuch takleef hai fir bolo ki ke ho riya
….
Rajesh – Mata ji ! saab puch riya kitane sal ki budhiya ho agyi hai ?
Jhagri - ..beesee tinek ma jara si kam hweli
Over all the play is realistic drama and every teacher should arrange staging in school for children .
