Satire and Fatkar
Unity by Splitting and Dividing
Bhishma Kukreti
Other day, there was a cultural function of a newly formed Uttarakhandi organization Uttarakhand Hiteshani Sabha in Noida. Most of the known Uttarakhandi social workers of Delhi, Gudgaon, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Noida (NCER) attended the Uttarakhandi Song and Dance program. But a few social workers came out from the hall and sat in a moderate bar in a locality adjacent to Noida .
After placing order for two bottles of whisky, the committee member of Garhwal Bhratri Mandal , Dhaulakunvan said, “ There is an urgent need of unity among all social organizations . You see I am one and half years senior than my colleague in Garhwal Bhratri Mandal but this new organization Hitaisani Sabha called my junior on the stage for honoring him and not me . We must do immediately something for theunity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area “
The bartender has started serving the whisky to all and a committee member Uttarakhand Vichar Manch Faridabad said,” Yes! You are right . There is very urgent need of unity among all the social organizations of Delhi area. See! This new organization called four members of Uttarakhand Mitra Mandal Faridabad on the stage to honor but not me. Though I am there a committee member of Uttarakhand Vichar Manch from the day one when we bifurcated Uttarakhand Mitra Mandal Faridabad and formed Uttarakhand Vichar Manch. We all here, are seasoned social workers and it is our duty to think about unity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area “
Gulping a full whisky peg, agitating, the committee member of Uttarakhand Pravashi Sangh Sahibabad said,” I do agree with you .We can not sit ideally . We most aware Uttarakhandi social workers cant keep quite to see diminishing unity among Uttarakhandis. Take the case of my organization Uttarakhand Pravashi Sangh. I applied for fund to my social organization for doing a rehabilitation camp in my village for stopping alcohol consumptions among village folks but the president bluntly said that first we should take care of Sahibabad people. Wah! We are Uttarakhandi and first we should take care of our brothers and sisters in Uttarakhand .Let us think seriously about the unity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area”
Sipping third peg, the committee member of Uttaranchal Kala Kendra Ghaziabad said, “ yes our unity is in danger. I am afraid if we intelligent Uttarakhandi sit inactive, no body will be there to take name of Uttarakhand in Delhi area. Take example of my organization. I requested my organization about funding a Bhangada dance of Sali but my organization refused funding .This is ridiculous. If our organization cant encourage my Sali’s talent, how come they can help other Uttarakhandis! We must act very fast for unity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area”
Every body was showing their worries about diminishing unity among Uttarakhandis in Delhi area.
A senior social worker who had been in tens of organizations asked,” You all are right. Our unity is in much danger than what we see on the surface. What is your suggestion?:
The committee member of a six month old organization Uttarakhand Maha Sangh said,” Let us form a new organization.”
Everybody cheered loudly as if everybody were waiting for this suggestion. “ Yes ! Yes! We can not see diminishing unity among Uttarakhandis in Delhi area”
Gulping fourth whisky peg, the committee member of nine months old Uttarakhand Sena Dal said,” Yes I am also for forming new social organization to save the unity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area. What should be the name of this new organization?”
Though, he had fifth pegs in his belly, the committee member of six months old organization Uttarakhand Sarvpakhsiy Dal said, “ United Uttarakhand Maha Sabha is the best name for our new organization”
Everybody appreciated the idea and gulped whisky peg in excitement for new name.
The committee member of a week old organization Asli Uttarakhand Hitaisani Sabha asked,” What should we do now?”
The committee member of three days old organization Uttarakhand Yuva Kalyan Mandal cleared the confusion,” As usual! First we shall send press notes about the aims of our new organization. Then we shall print the letter head of United Uttarakhand Maha Sabha and that is all.”
Now, everybody was satisfied .however, a committee member of fifteen days old organization Sacchi Ki Uttarakhand Hitaisani Sabha said,” That’s fine. I have connection in media and I shall see that all vernacular papers of Delhi and all papers of Uttarakhand give full coverage .”
Committee member of Uttarakhand Ekta Samiti asked ,” I am with you in formation of new organization for the unity of Uttarakhandis but tell me what will be the subject of press release?”
The committee member of Uttarakhand ki Ekmev Ekta Samiti , “ The subject will be that in the interest of unity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area , intelligent and Uttarakhand super conscious people formed a new organization which , will work for the unity of Uttarakhandis in Delhi area.”
Everybody said,” That is fine .That is fine”

After one month, in the name of unity among Uttarakhandis in Delhi area, the ultra conscious people formed ten new social organizations and not surprisingly, every organization is aiming to unite Uttarakhandis all over India
(This work is work of pure fiction. Any name or place resembles with the satire , it is just coincident .)
