                       Defining Disgust Sentiment

                     Bharat’s Natyshashtra defines disgust that disgust shows by a performer by covering the nose, contracting the physical limbs, uneasiness, and holding the heart and the like that.

  J.M. Cisler et all state that disgust is a type of aversive response that involves withdrawing from a being or object with strong expression of revulsion.  

            B. David and B Olatunji state that disgust is basic emotion that functions to help protect an organism ingesting potentiality harmful substances thereby promoting disease avoidances,.

M. Oaten, R.J. Stevenson, and T. I. Case, Curtis, Biran etc remark that disgust is triggered off due to possession of following –

1- Body products as feces, urine, mucus, vomit etc

2-spoiled foods

3-Animals as cockroaches, flees, lice, rat etc

4-Hygine as dirt

5-Body envelop violations as blood, gore, mutilation

6-Deat as dead body

    Examples of Disgust Sentiment in Garhwali Folk Dramas

  This author watched many dramas showing disgust in folk dramas either by professional caste class as Badi or Jagari and drams created by people in various drams.

गढवाली लोक नाटकों में जुगप्सा   भाव 

यह नाटक लांग महीने में बादियों ने जसपुर (मल्ला ढांगू , पौड़ी गढ़वाल ) 1964-65में खेला था।

एक  बादी - अजकाल अपण तबियत भारी चलणि च , आज मीन बळिण्ड इ बळिण्ड हौग।

दूसरा बादी - मेरि बि हालात ठीक नी च।  आज बकर्वळ ही बकर्वळ हौग।

तीसरा बादी - मेरी नब्बे सालक ब्वेक हालात त भौत खराब च दस्त ही दस्त हगदि अर भुलमार मा वा दस्तुं तै तेल समजिक मुख पर लपोड़ दींदी।

            Badi the professional class actors played this dialogue oriented folk drama in my village around 1964-65 in Chait moth that was Lang year (comes after 12 years) too

One Badi- My stomach is in very bad shape. There were wooden logs in my latrine

Another Badi- My latrine l was as of goat

Third Badi- My ninety years old mom is having dysentery and many times forkful she uses excretion as ointment and puts on her face
------------------------

एक और बादी स्वांग में बादियों का वार्तालाप का आनन्द लीजिये

एक जनानी - हे भुलि आज क्या रसोई बणाइ ?

दुसर जनानी - बासमूती चौंळ  (यहाँ पर बासमती को बासी पेशाब कहा गया है ) अर तीन ?

पैली -मीन आज हगण दाळ बणाइ ! (यहाँ पर हरड़ की जगह हगण कहा गया है )

The above folk drama dialogues by Badi class are best use of changing words for one object. Here badi uses Basimuti for Basmati rice. Basi Muti means old urine. Hagan is used for Harad pulse and Hagan mean to do latrine and Harad means pigeon pea.

 The folk dramatist class Badis were capable of using words to create disgust sentiment in Garhwali folk dramas.
