   Om Prakash Semwal is multitalented literature creator of Garhwali language. Semwal is story writer, poet and playwright of Garhwali language.

     In the age of when all national television and core regional channels, national and core regional periodicals are busy to show negative and as if everything going in doomed Om Prakash Semwal comes there to show hope for every Indian through his notable short dramas.

      Om Prakash Semwal wrote a social family conflict base Garhwali drama ‘Dagdi ‘staged in August 1998 in a school of (Old) Chamoli Garhwal.

      The drama is about conflicts, conspiracy among Mundeet (close to one family to other family by blood) embers. There was very cordial relation among the various family members of a Mundeet of Saunu and Gundaru. However, due to selfish intention of Naudi and Murkhalya, there is division among members of Mundeet.  

           However, when Naudi shows his real character Murkhalya was under threat. Murkhalya finds another way to get rid of Naudi.

   The social family conflict base Garhwali drama ‘Dagdi is a short drama and Om Prakash wrote the drama keeping teen age students and young students in mind. The drama shows effectively the self interest of minority members can harm the unity of families and society. The dialogues are having full influence of Rudraprayag region and nobody should mind as even the knowledgeable Garhwali literature creators will be happy to get newer words from Rudraprayag and Tungnath regions.

  The story flow is fast.

  Concussively, the drama is useful for teen age and young students for understanding the loss by tension among families of a Mundeet.
