लोग
| नाम | वर्ष | क्षेत्र | किसलिए मशहूर |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mola Ram | c. 1743–1833 | Painter, poet and historian | The central figure of the Garhwal school of painting and the writer who recorded its lineage back to the artist who arrived with Suleiman Shikoh. He also wrote the Garhwal court's history in verse, which makes him both the region's painter and one of its earliest historians. |
| Chandra Singh Garhwali | 1891–1979 | Soldier and political activist | Havildar-Major of the Garhwal Rifles who, at Qissa Khwani Bazaar in Peshawar in April 1930, refused to order his platoon to fire on unarmed Khudai Khidmatgar demonstrators. He was court-martialled and imprisoned, and spent the rest of his life in Congress and peasant politics. |
| Gabar Singh Negi | 1895–1915 | Soldier | Rifleman of the 39th Garhwal Rifles, awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously for the attack at Neuve Chapelle in March 1915. His memorial at Chamba is the focus of an annual fair, and his name is the one Garhwali recruitment has been built on for a century. |
| Sridev Suman | 1916–1944 | Journalist and freedom fighter | Campaigner against the Tehri princely state's forced-labour and press restrictions. He died in Tehri jail after a hunger strike lasting well over two months, and his death made the Tehri praja mandal movement unstoppable. |
| Gaura Devi | 1925–1991 | Village leader | Head of the women's group at Reni village in Chamoli. In March 1974, with the men of the village drawn away to a compensation meeting, she led the women of Reni to stand between the contractor's axemen and the forest above the Alaknanda. The image of that stand is what the word Chipko now means internationally. |
| Chandi Prasad Bhatt | b. 1934 | Environmentalist | Founded the Dasholi Gram Swarajya Mandal at Gopeshwar and turned a local demand for forest raw material for village cooperatives into the Chipko movement's organising base. Awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1982 and the Gandhi Peace Prize. |
| Sunderlal Bahuguna | 1927–2021 | Environmentalist | Chipko's long-distance walker and publicist, who carried the argument out of Chamoli, and then spent decades opposing the Tehri dam, including repeated long fasts. He lost that fight and the reservoir was filled; the ecological objections he raised are now standard in Himalayan project appraisals. |
| Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna | 1919–1989 | Politics | From Pauri Garhwal. Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and a Union minister, and the politician through whom Garhwal's demands were argued in Lucknow and Delhi for a generation before statehood. |
| Narendra Singh Negi | b. 1949 | Singer and songwriter | The most widely heard Garhwali voice of the last fifty years, with a catalogue that runs from love and seasonal songs to explicit political satire aimed at sitting governments. His songs did more to keep the language in the ears of migrant Garhwalis than any institution has. |
| Chandra Kunwar Bartwal | 1919–1947 | Poet | Wrote a dense, image-led Hindi poetry of the Garhwal landscape and died at twenty-eight; almost all of it was published after his death. |
| Bachendri Pal | b. 1954 | Mountaineer | From Nakuri village in Uttarkashi. In 1984 she became the first Indian woman to reach the summit of Everest, and she then spent decades running training expeditions for women out of Jamshedpur. |
| Tilu Rauteli | Seventeenth century, by tradition | Warrior of local tradition | A young woman of the Chauhan lineage of Gural, remembered in panwara ballads as having ridden to war in her father's place and died in her teens. The historical record is thin and the ballad record is thick; the state now gives an award in her name. |
