            The present article’ Asli Pathnderun k Lekha Jokha’ (Garh Aina, 5/6/1990) by satirist Bhishma Kukreti is not a humorous article but written on own experience of author. If a few phrase are avoided the article is a research article and provocative too. The article compels Garhwalis to think about their indifferent attitude for preserving their own language, their unsympathetic attitude for developing their own language written literature; their unsympathetic feelings for supporting their own language literature; their uninterested approach for pride by own language literature, unconcerned outlook for language as medium of culture; unworried attitude for patronizing Garhwali literature, apathetic stance by Garhwalis for their  distributing  Garhwali  language literature; no attitude for spending money on Garhwali literature ; apathetic mind-set of Garhwalis for encouraging Garhwali literature creative.  

      This is personal experience of Bhishma Kukreti that many time he distributed Garhwali literature book/booklet in his own building and many of Garhwalis sold the book to Raddivala (old paper mart).

   Kukreti classified Garhwalis from their attitude towards Garhwali language literature as follows:

                              Those who do not desire Garhwali literature at all

A-Illiterates

B-Less educated

C-Well educated but due to pride don’t want to read/buy Garhwali literature

D-Educated but due to non exposure, they never knew about Garhwali literature

E-Economically or otherwise can’t purchase Garhwali literature

F-Cant read Garhwali (Don’t have habit)

                                       Those desire to read /purchase Garhwali literature

1-They feel difficult in reading (no habit)

2-Children of migrated Garhwalis and lack knowledge of Garhwali literature

3-No knowledge or clue about publishers/sellers of Garhwali literature

4-Don’t want to spend or no attitude for spending on Garhwali literature

5- No atmosphere for Garhwali literature

                                   Real readers /real desirous/ real lovers of Garhwali literature

1-No publisher/seller of Garhwali literature visit them

2-many other reasons as no encouragement or discouragement from family or friends

                                   Aware and Readers

Such readers are very scanty in numbers  

 The satirist starts the article with satirical notes and suddenly the article becomes very serious. Kukreti advises the need of central Garhwali Language Literature institution for distribution of Garhwali literature.

   Kukreti mainly emphasizes on problem of distribution of Garhwali literature. Kukreti created many new words for Garhwali in this article as Pathndery, Sahityna
