                Dinesh Dhyani is a prominent Garhwali literature creative of Delhi. Dinesh has already published his Garhwali poetry collection.

    Dinesh published his first Garhwali short story collection ‘Nyuter’ in 2012. ‘Padaunn ki Rajneeti’ is first short story of the said story collection.

  ‘Padaunn ki Rajneeti’ depicts the atmosphere of contemporary rural Garhwal that people don’t have any agro-work due to various reasons. Since, people don’t have work they are indulged in various unnecessary local politics. The marriage party of Chimbwa returns with bride. There is tradition to distribute ‘Padaunn (kalyo-Sweet  gift) or sweets from bride house after the marriage party returns with  bride. The groom villagers have hundred percent right on this ‘Padaunn or sweet gift of bride house. The elders come to part the sweet for to distribute the sweet on equal portion. However, no elder comes to make parts of sweet for distribution.  The story writer opens the secret about elders not coming to part sweets for distribution among villagers.

 The story writer Dinesh Dhyani effectively creates images of village, marriage dinner party, and the worries of groom’s mother. The dialogues support the story. The story phrases and dialogues are dialects of Naini Danda region. The speed is slow as the aim of writer is to tell the new changes happening in rural Garhwal. The narration and end is satisfying. The aim of story teller is about stating that ‘Empty mind is the Devil’s Workshop’ and he is successful.
