About Sourashtra/Palkar Community
January 8, 2009 | General
Sourashtra or “Sourashtras” refer to a community of people who originated from Gujarat and now settled in different parts of Tamilnadu. They are also called as Palkars or in Tamil as Pattunulkarars which refers to the silk thread workers.
Sourashtrians are a glorious community who reside in and around India and speak Sourashtra as their mother tongue. Generally speaking, these people are adepts in Weaving cotton and silk fabrics. Quite a large number of Sourashtrians have gone down in the history of Indian Independence owing to their patriotic fervor.
Reference to Sourashtrians in the ancient epics and puranas of India are legion. The history of the early 56 countries tells us how Sourashtrians have made themselves a glorious community. The “Sourashtrians Raga” has a unique place among the “Mangala Ragas” of Carnatic Music. The names of Sourashtram and Somanathapuram find a distinct place in the history text books of schools, especially in the political maps of the regions of Ashoka, Kanishka, Gupta Harsha, Gajini Mohammed etc.

Dear Editor,
Do you know,some individuals and group of people trying to bring our community under MOST BACKWARD CLASS list in govt.gazzate to get few more seats in educational institution and govt.jobs.
If you want to know my view about this unwanted happening, please write to me also publish my view in your site as well as invite suggestion/opinion from others.Create voting mechanism in your site so that we come to know how many people express their opinion about this wrong doing..
Dear Editor,
I feel the same as Mr. Sekar. We should have a poll to get the view of Palkar peoples. It’s not about a group of persons who should decide the fate of a community. So we should have a definite poll and then go ahead with the results that we get.
I hope you will do the needful. And if u ask my opinion on getting our community under MBC, I will be against it.
As far as the site goes, its great to have a site were we can share out thoughts to do good to our community and people. Keep up the good work.
