    Bhishma Kukreti one of the prominent satirists of Himalayan language literature (as Parashar Gaur, Puran Pant, Prakash Mani, and Tribhuwan Uniyal) wrote on various subjects.  ‘Sahkaryan’ (Garh Aina, 28/5/1990) is satire on cooperative movement in rural Garhwal.

                   Kukreti narrates that in past the rural inhabitants were cooperative due to culture and need. However, the day government declared cooperative movement as fashion the cooperation took one eighty degree turn.  The cooperatives as producer cooperative, public distribution cooperatives, marketing cooperatives, stone cutting cooperatives, credit cooperatives, forest product cooperative; fruit growers cooperative, vegetable grower cooperative and many more cooperatives were opened  in the village. The problem came for erecting boards of these cooperatives. The villagers started fighting for place of boards or color of boards and the whole natural or old cooperation among villagers started shattered.

        Kukreti, satirically attacks on the basic uncooperative behavior of members of cooperative societies.         Kukreti stressed that the people are forgetting the real meaning of cooperation after coming cooperatives. Cooperation is the foundation of cooperatives. However, when the cooperatives become the tool of shattering cooperation the results are opposite of basic purpose of opening cooperatives. Kukreti used exaggeration style in this satire.

मीन ददि सणि पूछ ये ददि यि क्यांक भिभड़ाट? क्यांक ममताट ? क्यांक पिपड़ाट ? क्यांकि कवा रौळी? ददि न बताई बल ब्य्टा उ क्या च गाँ मा उ क्या बोल्दन बल सहकार्याण आई ना त ....

ए म्यार भूभरड़ ? त गाँ मा सहकारिता मीन्स कोओपरेटिव मूवमेंट आयुं छौ. 

             Bhishma Kukreti also drew a Cartoon in Garhwali in the same issue of Garh Aina satirizing cooperative movement and cooperation in rural Garhwal.
