In Search Of Peace! Poem by Ramesh T A

Israel is a unique story of Jewish people's strength of unity and progress;
It is history that Jews were Egypt's slaves, who were freed and went to promised land;
That promised land is Palestine, wherein they settled together in some part then;
Jews bought that place by paying money to colonialist power and free Israel was born!

Likewise Sourashtra people in search of peace left their place of origin in Gujarat in 1025 A D
To overcome frequent attacks of invasion by Mohamud of Ghazini to South India;
As they were scattered in India and world, they fail to develop their language literature;
As they don't have contacts in Sourashtra, place of origin, they can't live there together!

To develop Sourashtra literature and culture, that language has to be taught in schools;
If they were living in one place, Sourashtra language news magazine and literature
Besides books of stories, poetry and history could have been read by all to great level;
Like Jews, Sourashtrians too could have progressed to live in Sourashtra State itself!

All those things were spoiled by foreign invasions in India of the past driving them to go
In search of peace settling wherever possible for economic progress at the cost of community!
