The music album of Narendra Singh Negi has been successful in stirring the Uttarakhandi psych. This author came to know from friends and relatives in Garhwal that the said music album against corruption is the talk of rural Garhwal too. There is public discussion, debate and talk at Pandera. Bisaun, tea stall, chauk man about corruption prevailing in all central, state and district government departments.

The common men hate corrupt officials but can’t do anything because corrupt officials are more powerful than the people in all respects.

There is discussion of the said music album among intellectuals in and outside of Uttarakhand .

This author was reading an article of Vimal Negi the editor of highest selling Garhwali fortnightly newspaper ‘ Uttarakhand Khabar Sar (5^th June to 15^th June 2011). The heading is ‘Man gaye tu Bada Nishank, Mil gaye Tujhe pure Ank’ Yank Bad ‘Ab Kathga Khalau Re’

The learned editor Vimal Negi indirectly makes us understand that Narendra singh Negi accused sharply to the chief minister Dr ramesh Nishank for ienhancing corruption in Uttarakhand.

Vimal Negi sarcastically mentions about an audio caste released by some Doon Ratna Pratap Singh Parwana. The audio caste is nothing but a Chamchagiri of Dr Nishank . Parwana gave full marks to Dr ramesh Nishank for his problem solving capacity of Uttarakhand. Vimal Negi raised the question about reliability of Prwana’s statemnet that there is no problem in Uttarakhand because of Dr Nishank.

Vimal Negi states that Narendra Negi did not mention the name of any political leader in his music album wherein he accused the authority for being corrupt. Vimal Negi repeatedly state in his article that though Indian legend Narendra Singh Negi did not mention the name of Dr Nishank but ……….

My simple question to my members friends is “Do you agree that Narendra Singh Negi accused the Uttarakhand Chief Minister in the music album ‘Kathga Kahailya re?

(The poem is symbolic and humorous. In Hindi or Indian language, taking bribe is called bribe eating (Ghoos Khana ) and Narendra Singh Negi used the meaning of bribe taking in that sense to make poem humorous and satirical

the literal meaning of poem is

You are eating the commission as goat meat

You are eating the commission as Basmati rice

How much will you eat bribe?

How will you digest the commission?

You only can digest this much huge commission!

The people are dying because of inflation

There was hope from new province Uttarakhand

The government is building 56 dams but there is scarcity of milk

there is corruption in appointment, transfer.

Officers, politicians all are busy in taking bribe

Bribe takers depositing money in foreign banks

there was huge corruption in commonwealth game too)
