First Rajput Breaking Brahminical Monopoly in Garhwali Poetry

Shiv Narayan Singh Bisht: First Rajput Breaking Brahminical Monopoly in Garhwali Poetry
Critical and Chronological History of Modern Garhwali (Asian) Poetry – 14

                    Literature Historian:  Bhishma Kukreti
         This author can state authentically that no male upper caste Brahmin (Chauth , Saryul)  would have created any Garhwali Folk Song before British period. Usually in Garhwal, Shilpkar, Badi, Mirasi, or common females used to create Folk Songs and Upper Level Brahmins used to perceive Folk Song creation as insult to their pride of being upper level Brahmins.
           However, Saryul Brahmins and those Brahmins those were with Tehri Court came forward for creating Modern Garhwali Poetries. Upper Level Brahmins of Uttarakhand also collected and edited Folklores, Folktales, Folk Proverbs of Garhwal-Kumaon as Ganga Datt Upreti and Tota Ram Gairola.
           The reason behind upper level Brahmins coming in Modern Garhwali Poetry world was quite obvious. Upper Level Brahmins have family traditions of learning Sanskrit from their old generation and then teaching Sanskrit to new generation. There was no such tradition of Sanskrit teaching and learning among low level Brahmin castes, Rajput and Shilpkar communities. When British administration started opening primary schools British administration offered upper level Brahmins as teachers. Eventually at initial stage, upper level Brahmin students entered into school. Therefore, upper level Brahmins came into Modern Garhwali Poetry field of initial stage.
              The editor and Publisher of Gadhu Sumyal was born in village Badkholu, Manyarsyun , Pauri Garhwal in 1833 and expired in 1933
    Shiv Narayan Singh Bisht was first Rajput who entered into Garhwali Poetry field.  Shiv Narayan Singh Bisht collected folklores, edited and published ‘Gadhu Sumyal’ in 1928 under ‘Gaarhveer –Charitodaya Granthamala’ series. Shiv Narayan Singh published Garhu Sumyal folklore from Agra Press, Agara . Shiv Narayan Singh was a shopkeeper in Gumkhal and he arranged distribution of book from Banghat (confluence of Purvi Nayar and pashchmai Nayar Rivers) and Gumkhal. Bisht did not alter much the folklore wordings but he corrected the same as per contemporary grammar.
    According to Great Historian Dr Shiv Prasad Dabral the story is of 15th century.
Gadhu Sumyal is one of the great, brave folk legends of Kumaon and Garhwal. Uttarakhand cultural historian Dr. Dinesh Baluni states that Gadhu Sumyal was contemporary of Kumaoni king Gyan Chand (1374-1419AD).Gadhu Sumyal was son of Rudi Bhad..
              Gadhu Sumyal was great brave man of Khimsari Hat. His father and forefathers were brave Bhad. Once, there was worse famine in the region. People started starving. Children died on their mother’s hands. Women became widow. There was severe food shortage in the hose of Gadhu Sumyal.
           Gadhu Sumyal suggested his mother Lilavati to migrate for Aruni forest.  Mother and son started living on forest produces. Lilavati remembers the buffalos and cows of Deepu the elder uncle of Gadhu. She advised Gadhu Sumyal to bring buffalo of Dipu by bartering her necklace. Gadhu went to his elder uncle with his mother’s necklace. Gadhu asks Dipu of Dipkot to give milk producing buffalo against gold necklace. Dipu got conspiracy idea to kill Gadhu Sumyal. Dipu tells his conspiracy idea to his sons. Dipu sent Gadhu Sumyal to jungle for taking buffalo. Gadhu went to jungle and sons of Dipu followed him. Sons of Dipu threw big stones on Gadhu Sumyal.  Gadhu Sumyal caught their hands and asked for buffalo. They gave buffalo to him. Gadhu Sumyal returned to Aruni forest taking buffalo on his arms. When Lilavati saw buffalo she started weeping as the buffalo was infertile and she was unable to produce milk. They prayed for god and buffalo started producing milk.
          Gadhu Sumyal was great flute player. One day, he was playing flute in forest. A princess Surma used to live nearby. Surma was attracted to music of flute playing by Gadhu Sumyal and became his lover in her own mind. She searched Gadhu Sumyal for nine days and nine nights.  At last she met Gadhu Sumyal. Gadhu took Surma and went before his mother. Gadhu Sumyal married to Surma. Prosperously, those three started live happily.
              Dip was very jealous seeing Gadhu’s prosperity. Dip thought again to destroy Gadhu Sumyal.  Dip went to his nephew and asked him to collect taxes from Talla Salan and Malla Salan (South of Garhwal is called Salan). Dipu told a lie to Gadhu Sumyal that Salanis killed his father Udi.  Gadhu was angry to hear the story and became ready to take revenge the killing of his father by Salanis.  
              Gadhu became ready with weapons and ammunition. Surma became unhappy to know her husband going to Salan. Surma advised her husband not to go Salan. However, Gadhu Sumyal made her understand.   Surma advised Gadhu not to walk aloof path and without checking not to sit on a cot.    
           Gadhu Sumyal started his journey for Salan by riding on horse.  Salanis came to know arrival of Gadhu Sumyal and they also made strategy to kill him. Salanis dig a long dike and put the cot on it. Gadhu Sumyal came and Salanis offered him to sit on cot. Gadhu checked the cot by his stick and found the conspiracy.  Gadhu Sumyal killed his enemies by swords. After winning Gadhu Sumyal added new taxes.
           There in Dipokot, Dipu made another conspiracy. He gave gold coins to maternal uncle of Surma and wanted to make Surma as his son’s wife. Surma’s maternal uncle called Surma to Dipkot. The marriage procession was ready. By any means, Surma was sat into Pinas.  The servants started to take Surma on Pinas.  Surma saw Gadhu cooking food. She threw stones on cooking food.  Gadhu recognized hands of his wife Surma.
       Gadhu reached to Pinas. Surma told the real story. Gadhu Sumyal became angry. Gadhu Sumyal killed Dipu and his seven sons.
  After killing enemies, Gadhu Sumyal reached Khimsari hat and met his mother. Surma touched her mother in law’s feet. There was joy ever where in Khimsari hat. Happily, joyfully all congratulated Gadhu Sumyal.
