The Satirical poetry, as its name suggest, is the art of writing poems which echoes the feeling of satire. Satire is often strictly defined as a literary genre or form; although, in practice, it is also found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement (Reference: Wikipedia). In Garhwali literature too the Satirical poems exist. There are various poets who are known for this genre of poems. We can divide Garhwali Satirical Poetry into three parts or sects based on the content of the poems.
1. Satirical poems with Realism or Dandariyalism
2. Intellectual oriented poems or Bahugunaism
3. Clown-some Poems or Thattaism or Kavi Sammelini poems
The satirical poems, which are weaved on intellectual thinking and contain words which are for intellectuals. These poems are not able to touch the hearts of common men and come under Bahugunaism (Abodh bandhu Bahuguna). Here the poet becomes intellectual and narrates those incidents or select those subjects which can be understood only by persons with high intellect. These poems lack conventional Garhwali-soul. The satirist Garhwali poems of Lalit Keswan, Vinod Uniyal, Puran Pan “Ptathik”, Prem lal Bhatt, Girish Sundariyal, Netra Singh Aswal, Jaipal Singh “Chhipadu” come under Bahugunaism. Intellectualism is more powerful than conventional realism in such poems.
Now when Kavi Sammelan (Poem reciting sessions) are becoming popular even in Garhwal region, there have emerged mushroom of satirist poets in Garhwali who can be put in third category i.e. Clown-some poets or Thattabaj (ठट्ठेबाज) or Kavi Sammelani poets. They create poems for amusing the audience without even thinking that what kind of message they want to put forward. It could be assumed that their poems are alcoholic drink for the audience. These poets pay more attention on the laughter than satire, irony and real wit. Having said that, however they are very much required for creating attraction among common men in Garhwali poems. Such poems may not be timeless (कालजयी) or may not be remembered for more than a couple of years but are essential evil of Garhwali literature. Kulbeer Singh Rawat "Chhilbat" comes under this category. Some poems of Jaipal Singh alias "Chhipadu Dada" also come under this category.
Those poems come under Satire with realism where Garhwali images, symbols, reality and words are woven naturally in the poem. Kanhaya Lal Dandariyal is the initiator of such types of poems in Garhwali literature. Harish Juyal “Kutz” has extended and broadened this line of Kanhaya Lal Dandariyal and though Harish says that his poems are influenced by Dandariyal, we may see that Juyal gained exclusivity and individuality by his poetic craftsmanship and his poetic world seems to be entirely different than that of Dandariyal but it echoes the style of Dandariyal. The poems of Ram Prakash Arya “Bagchhat” also come under this category. Unfortunately his death at young age is really a big loss for Garhwali satirical poetry. The unpublished poems of Ram Prakash are the best example of Dalit literature and contain humor, irony, wit, sarcasm. Through his poems he has sarcastically attacked on the castes orientation which persisted in Garhwal or in India.
Uktat (anxiety) is the collection of sixty three poems of Harish Juyal “Kutz” for which he received one of the most prestigious award of Garhwali literature “Aditya Ram Navani” award in 2002. He has a peculiar advantage in weaving poems as his grandfather was a “Jagari” (one who sings the historical songs or folklores in a ceremony called Jagar) and Harish fulfills all the requirements of being a member of “Jagari” family, though his father is an ex-army person. Because of the links with Jagari family, Harish knows the importance of vocabulary of poems from his childhood. He knows how to create verses immediately, which attract the attention of people for enjoyment and dancing too. The effects of his link with Jagari family is clearly visible in many poems. His poems are also having the attracting capacity for the public.
Sense of lyrics is visible in his each poem. Uses of symbols, images for activating the reader’s memory is a weapon for satirist as Francis bacon rightly says, He that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others’ memory. As is a poem of narrating optimism but Harish chooses the words, symbols in such a way that this poem does not become dry preaching poetry but one will smile. Like….
Sarail ralu tipatt huyn
Jwanni jalan ku bagat hwalu
Below is the outline of some of the poems.
Sachchai: Sachchai poem is again preaching poem but with lot of humor.
Parya patali ka pakyan machha ni dyakha
Khundo badi patt ghulo goli bhaiji
Bal: Charles Churchill says,
“When satires flies abroad on falshood’s wing,
Short is her life and impotent her sting;
But when to truth allied, the wound she gives
Sinks deep, and to remotest ages lives”
There is paradox in our life and the poet shows us the reality or dirt in our society, which stings for ages for example
Hamar beech man ju sher banyun cha
Oo byalai ku rangun syal ch bal
Achkalun: Caius Cornelius Tacticus says, “ A biiter jest, when the satire comes too near the truth, leaves a sharp sting behind.“ and this poem achkalun is exclusivity of Juyal where he does not attack directly with his axe like words but he shows the reality through philosophical but words with full of wit
Vote denau khun angutha chhap
Adhikar huyun chau achkalyun
Fundyanath: When satire changes into high anger, it becomes sharp attack as:
Bhasan butik halya banyan chhan rajneeti ka
Syara lwai ka sana chhan fondant
Kilai: Harish directly asks question about the wrong attitude of people
Khubsat, khibdat, bhibhdat, kilai
Parai khushi ma tibdat klai
Bhair biten gentleman
Bhitar biten sags at kilai
Myara gaun ka log: Juyal exposes the failure of our new society in villages:
Hail-dhyadee, bhadwad khaunik dhupan laundan
Pujana raundan saukar tain myar gaon ka log
Thag : Thag is to show the ridicules happening in our whole society as new attitude:
Peeth pichhnai ag lagaik muchhalya munjhana ku ayan chhan
Paraya kandham banduk dhaurik triger dabana ku ayan chhan
Uth Jara: Maridith in his famous book-Idea of Comedy, explains about satire that the satirist is a contractor of ethos who cleans the dirt of the community and we may experience the duty of Harish Juyal in this poem as :
Kandali ka jhumpa dhol dyawa
Buransa ka phool limhao jara
Khani kyap: Though Swift says that satire is a mirror on which we can see everybody except her/his own shadow but Harish is different and he does not hesitate exposing himself with other fellows too as said by Issac Watts, “Satirists expose their own ill natures” as in this poem
Aj dagdyaon methai khani kyap wai ge
Mujhyun sarail fir fir tejab hwai ge
Ye jaman : Oxford dictionary defines the satire that satire means a discourse or conversation, usually through poetic form, contemptuous or condemning the follies of human beings and the abuses of society. We may feel the abuses of the society:
Barakh pujdara vai baman ka jog dyakho
Bhagai bhatag khand khand bihal hwaigyai
Guladangi: Irony is one of ingredients of satire and Harish creates irony in simplistic way:
Yojanau ko parsad bajat ki tailind khaindi khundik
Kamisan ki dabali ghumaiki pardhan guladangi kari ge
Kana garud : Telling the follies through indirect way is one of the pet style of Juyal from many his styles of narrating the subject as :
Paray kudi agyan chaind, arvi ag bujhan chaind
Bhitar bhitar damar lagaik bhair jol lagan chaind
Pad ku Uyar: The clergymen attack on evil and not personalities. Same way, most of the time, without self interest, the satirist attacks on evil without considering whose evil is this as:
Kail karan pahad ku uyar rai
Baid hankatt jair/bukhar ma lachar rai
Sakla Log: There is contradictions in the society and is found in individuals too. The satirist exposes various types of contradictions through his poems as :
Byali tak jain tumara jalad khanin
Aj vaikihan ma han misana chai hain?
Apnu gujar chya k kala pani ma kaiki
Gura thai bal pivar doodh pivana chau hain?
Kichad-Pichad: The job of satirist is to create anger in the mind of reader or audience for correcting the wrong happenings in the society and Harish Juyal performs well his duty as satirist and humorist for awakening the readers:
Bajar beech sabji-mandi kichad pichad
Such ka chawk, dukh ki dhandi kichad pichad
Jagri tund, dhupanu fund, bhut disco
Hadfail bichari chandi kichad pichad
Jai Ram Ji ki: The objective of a student is to have knowledge and endeavors for gaining knowledge, or a soldier should have brevity as main characteristics but if the individual or individuals as society forget their mottos and actions, the poet becomes vociferous and speaks like by using powerful metaphoric words , common images and symbols:
Woo Bandar hauri chhai jaun bwal akad se, lamka ma jaiki Rawan ka samni Jai Ram ji ki
Tadtada hweki college chali gen hero bauniki
Syani sagat par knowledge dekho jia ram ji ki
Ghanghtol: Usually, the poet is always a philosopher and a teacher too, becomes sad by seeing the negations or contradictions in the life and expresses her/his observations in different style and forms. Harish Kutz is an expert showing us negations, disagreements, paradoxes of life in humorous ways by using conventional and modern images and symbols:
Farak nauna naunyun ma karan walun suno tumara nauna suk, nauni lal chachkar rai
Sadgunon ka painchha ki tu bat tain ҫutz Ѡni kaur, chauchhwadi man-hater ka chain teeta human dwara rai
Ved-Bidhan- When a decaying situation in the society becomes beyond recovery and recovery becomes compulsion, the satirist leave humor, irony, funny ways, and mimicry and speaks the truth without mincing the words as harish says:
Geeta, puran, kuran ku chhwara, sabyun ka eksani gyan ch chhwara
Kaffu lagani kaga tain dhai, bhali buri yakh jawan ch chhwara
Gaidi Dhair: Robert Harris (1990) explains the job of satirist in The Purpose and Method of Satire, the specific targets in satire are often used to instruct and correct the general populace. Harish Juyal is not behind the slaying of Robert Harris:
Ini tham chor gundon ka note sahi adim tain de le bhote
Pas huno ku mantar seekh, mixie man ni pees silvat ma ghot
Seekh: A teacher does not leave his properties even after his death and same is applicable to Juyal. By profession, he is teacher and does not leave the habit of teaching and preaching, though, with wits and humor in his poem Seekh, where he also uses the folk story of Garhwal with ease:
Bhair tala lagyan yakh bhitar human chhan khandwar
Talu twakan valu dida dil ku khwalan seekh
Kiali dhareen takk teri paraya banthun hatyana ki
Sat gwairun apas man tillu danI bantan seekh
Vandana : Willium Hass says In ԓome Characteristics of Satire that the application of the satiric method is more of attitude or stance than a genre or type of literature . It is not bounded by form and structure but exists as an approach to the situation which can be present in any of the many literary forms. If Harish Juyal prays or worships a god or goddess, his prayer or worship definitely will have irony, humor, wit .
Jayati jay jay man siSwati jai kumau Garhwal ji
Kukur bi naadi bukhai gen haman jaunthe pali ji
Sel: The best satire is which irritates the audience for knowing the evil in the atmosphere and though the audience knows it but feels the pinch after poet shows the evil indirect method. Harish is expert of pinching the public by his poems:
Halwa khaiki dant pisena chhan, ghisena chhan
Adai samjhaik nauna bayena chhan t bayen dya
Gairal: There have been many satiric scenes in various Hindi movies against big family or more children by a couple . Same way in Garhwali literature, a couple of poets tried to criticizing the more numbers of children however, but Harish ӋutzҠ goes ahead of all in creating humorous satire against big family and supporting small family by using inflation, exaggeration and best uses of symbols and images .
Panchaun funkara maran lagyun , chhayun chhati fulanu
Sataun afat kaurige syu abi lpyan myal ma
Khani peeni kya ch apdi twaima sach bwanu chhaun
Min tibasi bhat khayi ek daduli dal ma
Bikhili Dunya: When a poet becomes straight as truth teller, his poem becomes very sharp .Samuel Sullivan tells that undeserved merit is satire and we may experience what Samuel means by reading harish
Pap k bhitar raibasu kaurik
Sachai ki delim thukani chh dunya
Aadim aadim tai ghulan lagun chha
‘Juyal’ dunya thain ghulani cha dunya
Sach ki Ankhi Motiyabind: Harish is also the master of mock encomium and since, the reader feels that the poet is sincere his narration is well understood by readers without any difficulty. Feinberg, Pfaff, Simpson cautions that if there are miscues and errors in the mind of audience or readers, the deadpan or satire does not make any effect and audience struggles either to understand or just reject the subject even if it has lot of humor. Harish provides full of cues through conventional symbols , images, proverbs to his audience in his satiric poems even they are with values and preaching:
Sach ki ankhi moribund jhutha ankha chhala chhan
Burai chamkani cha chamm bhalai farai jala chhan
Baila-banja ghas peendu khaiki utana human chhan
Jaunl annai danI kamai unka giccho mwala chhan
Bakkibat: Exaggeration creates humor and satire too provided the poet is wise using right and with words of cues:
Kukar-kakhad ek bhadlind mund kucheki dagdi parali chatna chhan bakkibat
Ichchadhari chhpodyaman hamari gaun man nai nai laguli katana chhan bakkibat
Au Rai Au : In Garhwali as in other languages, the same sentence or group of words have double meaning and the tone is the only way of differentiating of real meaning . Harish did an experiment by using “Au Rai Au” group of words very effective to create satire with humor:
Hamari kakhdi chwarnu chhe tu au rai au!
Sular putuk dharnu chai tu au rai au!
Kana garud t tyara human chhan yar dost
Ar hadki ghughtyon ki twadni chai tu au rai au!
Jhail: It seems as if Stanley Lane poole read Jhail poem of Juyal and that is why Stanley says that satire has a power of fascination that no other written thing posses and Jhail is perfect humorous poem without any twist and complexity. Though this poem is somehow a love poem by using different-different figures of speech, the poem became a pure humorous poem and a Garhwali will laugh loudly after listening or reading this poem
Log bwaldan ki jwan dhung ma ag hond
Takk lagaiki ayee ar parekh jai
Parmesur :The saying of Nathaniel Hawthorne applies to the poem Parmesur, “Of a bitter satirist it might be said that the person or thing on which the satire fells shriveled up as if devil had spit on it”
Khadu lagaunlu tyara nauku jab bipakhsyun ki
Nikal delu jhiran-kiran parmesur
Matlab yoch : In Matlab ya ch , Juyal tenors soothingly rebukes the frivolous life of rural Garhwal in his present time . This poem reminds us the poems of Pope’s Rape of the Lock (1714)
Karjpat l dabe gin bhula myara sukila din
Myar banth andhyari rat udankar ni ayee matlab ya cha
Padhan Bada : Padhan Bwada is not satire in its full sense but a sad story of aged person of villages of Garhwal whose children are migrated in plains and the aged persons spending their life in loneliness. Samlaun is also same type of poem
Gura Vandana :Dr Shantarani Says that satire is the strong weapon for showing antagonism and hate and we may experience the odium and animosity against the social system at the fundamental or base level but vital rank of democracy i.e. inhabitants of village :
Ajanau tain katan wala tyara dant todi delu
Juyal thain dhann podalu juttu hath manija
Bhaut Badhiya: The collector of Amar Kosh, Shankar Puntambekar states that “The satire is the razor-sharp expression for the era for criticizing the wrong happenings in the society. The satire hits very effectively where there is injustice, inequality, abuses, exploitations, immorality, nepotism, factionalism, corruption, classicism, hoardings, red tape, unemployment, drought, flood, food scarcity, adulteration, family dynasty ism, ..Harish hits on the above wrongs in the society through his poem “Bhaut Badhiya”
Butpujai: First prime Minster of India late Jawahar Lal Nehru said about the famous cartoonist Sahnkar, ..a true cartoonist (satirist) is not just a maker of fun but who sees the inner significance of an event and by a few strokes impresses on others”. Harish Juyal has also the power of showing us the inner significances of wrong happenings in our allowing superstitious (andhvishwash) in our society in Bhutpuja poem :
Gaudi kilai latyani cha, kilya pooj kali rat
Jagardar murga kunai, hudkya da palya le hath
Desh ka hal: Dr Alka K Dange says, “The satire without humor becomes abuse and desiccated.Harish knows mixing of humor in dry subject and expertly makes such subject as entertaining as joy as in Desh ka Hal:
Jaun saanki bhakk bilki desh ka
Voo dyabta banya chhan re desh ka
Aibi Goar: Harish has gifted competence for using Garhwali words which make the satire as entertaining as bad-badan’s folk song as Issar Evan says, “The satire becomes entertaining and tasty when it has natural humor”
Abinda anbolya youn gorun tain dekhi dekhik
Bagh bujya putug khitgani marana chhan
Little Peg: M S Abrams describes satire as the literary art of diminishing or derogating a subject by making it ridiculous and evoking towards it attitudes of amusement. Harish makes the reasoning of taking alcoholic drinks as ridiculous as top most satiric poets of world class poems did in their language poems:
Little peg pen pwadal bwe ka saun, tab talak ju tvai chwadalu bwe ka saum
Yanl pet ki kidi mwardan kuch ni hondu, tyara saun ju jhoot bwalalu bwai ka saun
Kushal Kamana : It is not that Harish cannot create serious and inspirational poems, his kushal kamana is the proof that Harish is master of other branches of poetry other than humor and satire
Apan banth ku gham meel sabyun thainki
Kaunpun ni ra kwee tyaru myaru bhai tab
Choosi Ja : Dr. Suresh Maheshwari says that the poet gets inspiration for writing satire when there is conflicts and struggle between idealism and reality, thoughts and implementable actions and it is sure that Harish got inspiration to write the poem Choosi Ja by observing many conflicting struggle, obligation and deceptive nature and mannerism in the society:
Jaun thain taranai vee duban lagyan chhan
Chhal paunchhi hamthain baglike bwagan choosi ja
Daundya dancer: It seems, as far as satire poem creating is concerned, Harish Juyal runs on the line of great poet Lord Byron who said , “Fools are my theme, let satire be my songs” and Harish creates poem criticizing the youth who are forgetting the natural etiquettes of society or arts
Myalu chati deli meri ek khanate ma , ar moch dyakho Rana pratap jan bananu chhe
Kandud chhan byanda chhan tyara dhameli chhwadin cha teri dhoti pair chuwa kyonki sharmani chai
Dhad : Dhad poem is humorous and satirist as well and with full of conventional abuses of Garhwali are used by him in Dhad and every Garhwali reader whether he speaks Garhwali or not that Garhwali will enjoy the poem .
Jail hamaroo banthu chorik khan bhare
Vaiki patt gand mori jan bhare
Hey Ween : Clark says that satire need have no moral lesson or didctic purpose but be aggressive or critical to situations and harish is expert of creating such satiristic poem which attacks the situation or society in Hey ween
Chauchhwadi hamari chhween var pwar he veen, ram dain log bhaut jaltmaar hey veen
Jarasi jai din bitai ham ufran baithi, sya unka mukhund jhwalu pod , hey veen
Myara Mulak: Late Kanhaya Lal Dandriyal wrote a timeless poem for describing Garhwali (myaro Gadhwal, Bharat ko Bhalũ. After that the satiric poets in Garhwali, habitually, write poem to describe Garhwal this way or that way but nobody could provide such a witty poem as Dandriyal could offer. Juyal also wrote the poem for description of Garhwal and he showed the respect to Dandriyaal in his Myara Mulak poem, which again shows the effect of Dandriyal on his successors in satire verses:
Dandriyal ji ki gicchi podin aunla danee, bachyun nirbhagi maryun bhagyan myara mulak
Juyal rai santula jan cchvaun cchwan ni kaur samali ki rakh apni gicch myara mulak
Chor Chatva : Mayanard Mack says about satire, “Satire .. Asserts validity and necessity of norms , systematic values and meaning that contained by recognized codes.”Harish Juyal proves the validity of saying of Mack in his poem where he pins point on the continuous erosion of social simplicity and increasing double standard in the society and at the same time provides the solution to check the erosion too:
Birala doodh ka jagwal karna chhan, kana dai jamana chhan, gura raudi thamik bhitryun bhitaryun chinch chhulana chhan
Golan lagan ni bisari ҪuyaҠbhitar bite chital rai aunsi ki rat chor chatva tyar dwar Khulna chhan
Maya Ku Fikval: This poem is different because from just reading it you will feel it is a love poem and aimed for an extreme love of a lover with lot of humor and wit without attacking anybody:
Chauk teer klai ai tu junyali rat ma
Bhagwan jani jun far tidwak aige
Bandarya saloot: The specialty of Harish is to attack with humor on double standard, deceitfulness and trickiness in the society . Ravindra Tyagi a Hindi satirist says, “Satire is the best medium for exposing the wrongs or misconducts in the society. If there is humor in the satire, it becomes more sharper and effective”. The poem “Bandrya saloot” of Juyal is the true witness for the saying of Tyagi
Bhair satkar karna chhan bhai log bag bhitar fitkar marna chhan log bag
Rwai rwai ka puchhana raundan hal chal, haisi hainsik morna chhan bahi log bag
Mera Dukh : If we analyze in depth the tragedy is the mother of satire and humor . Mera Dukh and Jikudi buthyanu aige poems are the examples of inner pain, hopelessness but uses of symbols (exaggeration ) and images for creating humor :
Myara dukh ithga jathga gaina asman ka
Riti Bhandi: Eminent Hindi and Marathi satire critic Alka Dange says that according to learned knowledgeable, there are seven elements of satire Ӡreality, seriousness, sensibility, mature language, intellectuality, allusiveness and neutral analysis . Riti Bhandi is one of the examples of poems created by Harish that he fulfills the literary norms of satire creation
Khud: Harish is a insightful poet and can write tragic poem too. Khud is not satiric and humorous poem but a poem of sadness for emptiness because of something lacking in an individual. The poem Ulyara Paran, Gani, Gijar poems come under this category .
Samali Jai Ho: The eminent Hindi satirist Sharad Joshi says, “The main element of satire is that it should be attached to struggle of life or attached to an average life. If the subject and description of literature is not attached to life, there is something wrong with the satire”. Samali ja Ho is a love poem but with wit, humor, sensibility, struggle and liveliness of life. If Sharad Joshi would have alive he would have said that he defined satire by reading the poem Samali Jai Ho by Harish Juyal
Athgarai: When the prominent Hindi prose satirist of India , Harishankar Parsai says, “satire shows us life , criticizes life, wrongs, lies, heresy, humbug etc” it means his saying is also dependent on the poem Athgari of juyal wherein he attacks on the trouble of big family and non-application of family planning devices , alcoholism, taking money from money lenders, gambling, bureaucracy, inflation, discrimination in the society and so on . Chhenja poem is also best example of such type of satire, which Parsai said
Didactic Poems by Harish : Sacha bol, bird naya sal ka are not satiric nor humorous poems, which show his capability for creating different types of poems
Meru Bachpan; Meru Bachpan is an autobiography of an average Garhwaliӳ childhood and wordings, symbolic approach make this poem readable and enjoyable .
What Harish Juyal ‘Kutz’says about his works
(this is translation of Harish’s saying “ apni bat or my words’ in this collections of poetries )
In my opinion, to communicate the tragedy, pain, imbalances and, laughter -happiness of my own heart to the hearts of others is poetry. Today’s human being is not living the life but he is cursedly struggling for the life because, these days, there is anxiety, disquiet in the life of an average human being. ….I understand that every person is under the attack of anxiety, worries, unease. Today, there is wrongs everywhere in religious, social, economical, ethical, political circles. The illiterates are the teachers and authority for providing the knowledge to the knowledgeable. There is dirt and bad smell in the wrongs happening in the whole society and we have to close our nose to avoid such wrongs happening in the society.
I write poems because through, I can attack fierce fully on the bad happenings, wrong approaches, malpractices, who are busy damaging the basic norms of ethics and at the same time not understanding the good changes in the society or government administrations …..For me, the poetry creation is also a way of being exclusive from the masses.
Another secret is that by creating poetry I feel liberated from the tension arose because of the bad happenings here and there and everywhere .
