Review by: Bhishma Kukreti (Regional Language Promoter)
Riddling and Puzzling are there after language creation n human history. Every Language has numerous riddles and puzzles. Riddles have much importance in society and culture.
There have been various attempts in collecting Garhwali Riddles. Most of the time, scholars put riddles with proverbs as Jagdish Badola, Abodh Bandhu Bahguna or Pushkar Singh Kandari.
There are riddles related to various aspects of life and daily life as -Heat and Light, Household items, human and insects, clothing-jewelry, food and drinks, vegetables –crops etc, in the villages, social aspects, water, air, sky, fields, earth, farms, natural phenomenon, seasons etc.
The learned scholar Bartwal also translated Garhwali riddles into Hindi.
Bartwal offers a few proverbs, and Garhwali words for specific acts.
Garhwali scholars and literature creative as Om Prakash Semawal, Deepak benjwal, Narendra Singh Negi, Pushkar Singh Kandari, Virendra Singh Panwar already appreciated the works of Sudhir Bartwal.
The position of Sudhir Bartwal in the history of Garhwali Literature would be the same as the riddles collectors of various languages as Dmitri Nikolaevich Sadovnikov (Russian Riddles); American Lady (English); Isaias J. McCaffery (German Proverbs and Riddles); F.G.T. ; Reb Reeven (Jews) ; R.S.Boggs; C.E Ashu ( Cameroon); F Boas (Eskimos); Andreas Tietze (Komar, Turkic ); Phil Cousineau (World Riddles).
This author recommends Garhwalis to have this collection in their private library.
