I don't know if the music that was, in my time popular, should be called Haryanyai or not but this is what I remember. Brig Lakshman Singh

Some time` Swang" the village theater would come or was invited to perform on special occasions like weddings, always a big occasion for the village folks people came even from the surrounding villages. The most famous and more popular was `Bully's' the owner and the hero of the days play. Young boys, dressed in heavy skirts, faces covered with colourful cotton shawls and decked with silver ornaments, borrowed from the ladies of the house of the host, played the female characters. The action was slow, mostly in verse and song, still enough to excite the mostly male audience.

The performances could never hold my interest possibly due to exposure to music from films like Achhut-Kanya, Kangan, Bandhan, Pukar . No doubt, the festive atmosphere with the disinterested kids running around aimlessly, being admonished time and again by the elderly who were getting disturbed, was exciting and fun.
