              (Review of Contemporary Garhwali Drama ‘Khaulya’ by Nitya Nand Maithani)         

                                     Bhishma Kukreti

                 One hour-long play ‘Khaulya’ deals with the subject of poverty, child marriage, and the related subject of child marriage and poverty. Symbolically, the play is staged in ‘Andhyru Obari’. Saunu is poor and wants to marry his girl child at fifteen hundred bucks so that he can marry his eighteen years old son ‘Khaulya’ Khauly’ resist and acts against his sister's engagement. 
      The drama ‘Khaulya’ is one of the jewels of contemporary Garhwali dramas which show many arenas of poverty as malnutrition and its effects, pessimism, energy less life, always afraid of existence, and laziness.
    The dramatist is very much successful in characterization and appropriate dialogues for each character as per their characteristics. Dr. Anil Dabral appreciates the ‘Pause’ kept by Maithani in his dramas.

               Chyun: A Garhwali Drama Criticizing Blind Faith and Foolishness
         

                                            Bhishma Kukreti

                    Nitya Nand Maithani a prolific Garhwali fiction writer and playwright took entertainment through drams very seriously. Many of his dramas are investigating human tendencies, human ambitions, and aspirations besides foolishness and ignorance.   
    The modern Garhwali drama ‘Chyun’ by Nitya Nand Maithani is in the form of a folk story. The main character is a foolish young man Sundaru who is getting married. His would-be wife saw a dream that a demon caught her seven brothers and all are in the stomach of the demon. The life of a demon is in a special kind of mushroom (‘Chyun’) posed by a parrot staying in a Dainkan tree. Sundaru goes in search of parrot and mushroom (‘Chyun’). He met a woman on the way and she tells all ie that a prince killed the demon. Sundaru comes back.
                 The drama definitely attacks blind faith, ignorance, and foolishness. However, the drama is not in preaching style but story construction and dialogues tell the objectives of the drama. Nitya Nand Maithani is an expert in entertainment with a focused objective of communicating the moral objectives of life. ‘Chyun’ drama entertains and communicates the moral too.

                             Chhutyan Bald: A Modern Garhwali Drama about Power of Youth Unity

(Review of a Modern Garhwali drama ‘Chhutyan Bald’ (1975) by Nitya Nand Maithani)

Notes on Modern Asian Drama about Power of Youth Unity, Modern South Asian Drama about Power of Youth Unity, Modern Indian  Drama about Power of Youth Unity, Modern North Indian Drama about Power of Youth Unity, Modern Himalayan about Power of Youth Unity, Modern  Uttarakhandi Drama about Power of Youth Unity, Modern Garhwali  Drama about Power of Youth Unity


                                                           Bhishma Kukreti


                  ‘Chhutyan Bald’ a one act play by Nitya Nand does not have any particular relationship with the culture of Garhwal. The story is a weird one. Dr Dabral writes,” If the ‘Chyun’ drama is the peak of stupidity or lewdness, the story of ‘Chhutyan Bald’ is weird.”
                   Chimni Devi and Falendi Lal are worried about their daughter’s marriage. Bakhtwar a young man loves or likes the daughter of Chimni Devi and Falendi Lal. However, the father of Bakhtwar has another plan. Bakhtwar’s father compels Bakhtwar for marrying another girl. Bakhtwar is getting married and there is a marriage procession for Bakhtwar. When the village youth come to know the reality they disturb the marriage procession with herds of bulls and force the guests to run away. The youth take Bakhtwar to the house of Chimni Devi and Falendi Lal.
                    Nitya Nand Maithani used proverbs more than any playwright could do so. The dialogues are the reason for the speed into drama and dialogues are as per characters and the audience’s point of view.
                      Symbolically, Nitya Nand Maithani is successful in communicating the power of youth unity in any community.

Chaudandi: A Humorous Garhwali Drama about Disadvantages of Gigantic Joint Family


                     
                                                  Bhishma Kukreti 

                   There are advantages and disadvantages of the Joint Family System. In a Garhwali Drama ‘Chaudandi’ (1975, Nitya Nand Maithani showed the disadvantage of the Joint family through the humorous methodology. The biggest problem of a gigantic joint family is that slowly family members ignore others’ emotions and problems or the family members do not care for others’ urgency.  Makan Singh has a gigantic family of fifty members. There are all six daughters, their unemployed husbands, and their children of Makan Singh in the family. Makan Singh has only one son Teetu and his wife in this big family of fifty members.  Teetu’s wife advised Teetu to run away from home. Teetu run away from home. Later the wife of Teetu shivers that Baba Narsingh’s spirit has come into her body. When she is asked about the solution, she replies that there is ‘Pachas Sungrun Dosh (curse because of fifty boars living in the house). As the incarnation of Narsingh Baba she says that all bores from home should be dispatched immediately.
               The drama is humorous and attacks the family members not caring for others’ privacy or needs.   The drama ‘Chaudandi’ (1975) by Nitya Nand Maithani is a hilarious one. The specialty of Nitya Nand Maithani had been that his dialogues create perfect images in the mind of the audience.

           Tom: A Contemporary Garhwali Drama depicting Negative Effects of Alcohol Addiction 



                                                   Bhishma Kukreti

                      Alcohol addiction, alcohol consumption, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction among people have been the subject of concern for social workers, intellectuals, and writers from the beginning of civilization. That is the reason that readers find the subjects of alcohol addiction, alcohol consumption, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction in epics, literature, and folk literature of earlier ages. The modern literature is full of subjects of alcohol addiction, alcohol consumption, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction.

                      German dramatists Holz and Schalf wrote a drama ‘Die Familie Selicke’ about alcohol. The ‘Dreamers ‘by playwright Jack Davis depicts alcohol abuse. The famous drama ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ by famous drama playwright Tennessee Williams deals with the subject of alcohol abuse too. ‘The drunkard the drama’ drama by William H. Smith criticizes alcohol abuse.
                  Chinese modern drama and film ‘Quitting deals with the struggle to overcome drug and alcohol addiction.

‘Tom’: A Contemporary Garhwali Drama depicting Negative Effects of Alcohol Addiction 
                Tom means the pain. The theme of ‘Tom’ drama by Maithani is about escaping from the realities of alcohol consumption, repeating acts of an addicted person, and social, monitoring, and ethical losses by alcohol consumption. The story is about a Jagri (Religious performer of Ghadela a folk ritual) is alcohol addicted. Jagri steals the necklace of a young girl. Jagri is enjoying alcohol and his ailing son dies because of the nonavailability of medicines and care. The drama is written for criticizing alcohol consumption, alcohol addiction, and alcohol abuse. The relevancy of ‘Tom’ is very much in today’s time.

Na Theed main Tain: A Garhwali Drama about Desire for Having a Son
 

                                            Bhishma Kukreti

                  It is a common fact that every person desires a son or son for his heir. The theme of ‘Na Theed main Tain’ by Nitya Nand Maithani is about the desire for a son and having daughters. Nannumal wishes for a son and in this process, his wife delivers five daughters. Now the children feel ignored by their parent's side and the father feels tortured. Neither parents nor children are comfortable with the situation.
                Nitya Nand Maithani’s dialogues are the lifeline for the drama and its speed.

Fulmundi Sasu: A Garhwali Social drama about the Struggle of Daughter in Laws

(Review of a Garhwali Social drama ‘Fulmundi Sasu’ by Nitya Nand Maithani)

                                         Bhishma Kukreti
                      It was a common culture in the past that the mother-in-law would treat her daughter-in-law adversely. The mother-in-law would make sure that her daughter-in-law would get less food, low nutrient food, and get insulted as and when the opportunity was there.
                       The Garhwali Social drama ‘Fulmundi Sasu’ by Nitya Nand Maithani is about the torture of a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law. There is a social organization in the village and the writer shows the importance of Gram Sudhar Samitis in villages.
     However, from story's point of view, Nitya Nand Maithani is not successful in providing the perfect treatment for which Nitya Nand Maithani is famous.
                Dialogues are as per the prolific nature of Nitya Nand Maithani as playwrights.

                          Hari Hindwan: A Historical Garhwali Drama


                                                 Bhishma Kukreti

                       It is difficult to write historical drama or drama on well-known legends. Hari Hindwan and Asha Hindwan are well known folk legends of Garhwal. There are folk songs about the chivalry of Hari Hindwan and his brother Asha Hindwan. Famous satirical Garhwali poet Lalit Keshwan wrote and published ‘Hari Hindwan’ a historical Garhwali in 1989.
                             The time period is of the ruling time of Man Shah the king of Garhwal (1591-1611). The kingdom Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh was affected by the violent acts of demons. The king of Sirmaur declared that he will offer thousands of golden coins, half of the kingdom, and his daughter ‘Sukesha’ to the killer of a demon. King of Garhwal sends Hari Hindwan a bravest of braves to Sirmaur for killing the demon.
                    Hari Hindwan kills the demon. King of Sirmaur becomes selfish and instead of rewarding, put Hari Hindwan into jail. Hari through dreams sends a message to his brother Asha Hindwan. Asha comes to Himachal and fought with the Sirmaur army and won. The king of Sirmaur agreed to marry Sukesha to Hari. Hari Hindwan, Asha Hindwan, and Sukesha come to Garhwal where the Garhwali king welcomed them.
    Keshwan experimented with modernity and Jagar in the drama. The drama has huge potential for becoming a hit stage play. The dialogues are of daily use.

Historical details of ‘Chakrvyuh’ Drama in Garhwal
 
                                    Bhishma Kukreti
                          These days, ‘Chakrvyuh’ a Garhwali poetic or lyrical-prose drama is in news in Mumbai. The Garhwali and Kumauni audience is very much curious to watch the well-liked drama ‘Chakrvyuh’ being staged in Kauthig.
                However, there is a long astounding history of dramatization of the Chakrvyuh theme in Garhwal.
                     Mahabharata is a never-ending mine for dramas in modern days. Chakrvyuh's episode of Mahabharata attracted many dramatists for writing and staging plays in their own languages.  ‘Chakrvyuh’ is based on the sacrifice and chivalry of Abhimanyu in the Kurukshetra battle.
                         Chandra Singh Butola and Bachan Ram Gairola ‘Arya’     wrote ‘‘Chakrvyuh’ drama in Hindi. The drama was definitely fully based on the Parsi theatre style. The Hindi version ‘Chakrvyuh’ was first staged in 1901 in the Kandara village of today’s Rudraprayag district. People took interest in the drama and started to take shape into folk drama in Kedar valley.
               In the seventies,  Pratap Singh Bisht of Barasnadi wrote the ‘Chakrvyuh’ script again in Hindi and staged it in his village Barsnadi, Rudraprayag district. Credit goes to Pratap Singh Bisht for popularizing the drama ‘Chakrvyuh’ in Kedar valley.
     Dr.Data Ram Purohit, Shri S. Karnpal, and Krishna Nand Nautiyal wrote a script of ‘Chakrvyuh’ in Garhwali and staged it in the year 2001 in Jamohari village, Rudraprayag. 
                The Garhwali version of the ‘Chakrvyuh’ drama is gigantic from a production point of view. There were 300 performers for the drama when it was staged in Mangoli, Ukhimath.   The Garhwali version drama   ‘Chakrvyuh’ is staged in Shrinagar, Dehradun too, and got appreciation from the audience for its professional approach and gigantic ness.   
     The above-scripted drama    ‘Chakrvyuh’   was staged in Delhi in 2011 in Mahabharata Utsav of 2011.

     Garhwalis will always remember the contribution of playwrights Dr.Data Ram Purohit, Shri S. Karnpal, and Krishna Nand Nautiyal for conceptualizing and writing ‘Chakrvyuh’   drama in Garhwali.
Curtsy to Dr. D.R Purohit
