             Flattering means that complimenting excessively and often insincerely, especially to get favor from over praised one. Flattering is a weapon for winning the support of other. There are other names for flattering as apple polishing, wheel greasing. Social psychologists Edward e. Jones coined word’ Ingratiation’ and he discussed other enhancement, opinion conformity etc about the aspect of flattering.  Voltaire condemned flattering. Swift satirized flattering (B.A. Connery and K. Combe). Jeffery Jones and Ethan Thompson (Satire T.V.: Politics and Comedy in the Post-Network era) provided examples of satirizing flattering in various T.V. satire serials or satirical programs.

 There have been satirical essays and other literature in Garhwali those sharply satirize flattering and over praising.

 Ek Shradhanjali in Bhi (Garh Aina 5/6/1989) - Kukreti satirizes the concept of flattering and over praising through his satire prose’ Ek Shradhanjali in Bhi’. One of deity a minister Vasant shri in Indra (the king of deity) expired and there is condolence meeting for his death. Every deity just touches the contribution of Vasant shri but talks more about his relationship with deity King Indra or Devendra. Lord Krishna, Vishnu, Narsingh and other deities over praise Devendra (Indra) with flattering remarks. It is one of the remarkable satires on flattering and over praising in Garhwali literature.

अब चूंकि समय ह्व़े गे आज कु श्रधांजलि समारोह समाप्त होंद . हम तै वसंत श्री क दुखद मृतु पर मौनधारण करण चयांद अर वांक उपरान्त हमारे देवराज अमर रहें , हमारे एकी राजा बस देवाधीस. जबतक सूरज,  चाँद रहेगा तब तक देवराज इंद्र का नाम रहेगा
