              Intellectuals, writers have been writing about the problem of migration from rural Garhwal since the post India independence. Tens of humorous satirical poems are written in Garhwali about problems of migration from rural Garhwal. Bhishma Kukreti drew many cartoons (satirical humor) on the problems of migration from rural Garhwal. Migration from Garhwal is mainly due to no employment sources, ill economy, least quality education facilities, lesser medical facilities, lesser facilities for modern living, no development, no political will for rural development, less agricultural productivity in rural Garhwal.  

   In humorous satire ‘Bhajan’ (Garh Aina, 2/6/1990), Kukreti discussed about the culture of migration from Garhwal to plains. Humorously Kukreti states in this satire that in past people from various regions came to Garhwal and settled in Garhwal including the Panwar dynasty.  In humorous satire ‘Bhajan’, Kukreti talks different styles of migration from rural Garhwal. Humorously and satirically Kukreti lambasts on  migration of un skilled work force from rural Garhwal.

ब्वे बाब अपण नौन्याळु तै भगाणो बान कथगा इ टुटब्याग करी दीन्दा था. पण कति बकळि जिकुड़ी कानौन्याळ गाँ से टस से मस नि होंदा था. हमर गा मा एक दै डुन्कर ददा न अपण नौनु फत्तू तै ग्वाठममुंगरन थींची द्याई . दुसर दिन फत्तू काका रिसिकेश भाजी ग्याई . एक मैना उपरान्त जब रिसिकेस काहोटल का भंडमजे क बदल डुन्कर ददा कुण पांच रूप्या मन्योडर क्या ऐन ड़खु , रिख्वा, हिरदै बण्वा कबुबौ न मुंगुर प्रहार कु महत्व पछ्याण अर भीम gada  मानिक सब्युंन अपण नौनु मुंगरै देन . अर ए भै एकमैना मा ड्याराडूण, रिसिकेस का होटल वाळ बुलण बिसे गेन बल गढ़वाळ मा स्किल्ड वर्कर्स कि कमी कतैनी च 

 Kukreti also uses repetition of words (anupras alnkar) in this humorous satire
