    Analysis of Garhwali short story ‘Bargat’

   Critical Review for Garhwali Short Stories written by Mahesha Nand-3

     

                           Review by Bhishma Kukreti

        Danyasti short story by Mahesha Nand is not a new story in Garhwali story world. Past story creators published many stories in Modern Garhwali literature about children ignoring parents in villages or sending back their parents to villages or orphan houses.

 The subject is not new, the plot is also not exclusive and the social conditions are also not new in Danyasti story by Mahesha.

         The present story is important from the point of view of presentation and new phrases used by Mahesha Nand. His phrases in the present story make the story important for Garhwali fiction world.

     Mahesha uses analogies for speeding the story.      

उपरी पंछी तरां टपराणु छौ .

फूलीं मुंडली घांडी सि  लाळ जन डगड्याणि छै  .

धौम्पा कुंलैं कि सि डाली घळकि

   Mahesha Nand is master in using pair words usually used in oral communication in Garhwal and Mahesha uses them as his domesticated slaves. Kathait appreciated his uses of pair words too.

चैल-पैलम , रक्च्वड़ा-रकचोड, अबलाट-छबल़ाट

Mahesha uses words those are not used by educated Garhwali even in Garhwal. Garhwalis should thank Mahesha for making them in uses as

कळयूर, कमताण, रैसान, गासी  .

 Readers would enjoy the sad story as Mahesha is successful in creating pathos.
