With warm greetings of ‘Jai Somnath’ and ‘Vanakkam’, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel while addressing all the people present at the Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam program said that under the inspiration and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this historic event is being held in the holy presence of Lord Somnath Mahadev. The union is created. Welcoming the brothers from Tamil Nadu to Somnath, Patel said that this unique program to enable Tamilians of Saurashtra origin, who had migrated to Tamil Nadu centuries ago, to visit their ancestral homeland and thus celebrate the confluence of two cultures, is an initiative of the illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It will prove to be very important in the direction of fulfilling the dream of ‘Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat’.
‘Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam’ festival will strengthen the foundation of this national unity
He said that this unique program of confluence of two distinct cultures would become a glorious chapter in the cultural history of India. Mr. Patel further said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started the politics of inclusive development without caste or any kind of discrimination. He requested the Tamil brothers to visit various places of pilgrimage and other famous places in Gujarat and also encourage others to do the same.
Get inspired.
After this festival, the exchange of literature, trade, culture and commerce between Tamil Nadu and Gujarat will increase.
Mr. Patel further said that there are different languages and different cultures in India, but they are all connected in one thread with different culture, goals and spirit. Gujarati literature has become bright through litterateurs like Krishnalal Sridharani and Jhaverchand Meghani, so similarly there are poets like Subramaniam who express the same sentiments in Tamil language. All these things connect us all. After the Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam under the guidance and leadership of Narendra Modi, the exchange of literature, trade, culture and commerce between Tamil Nadu and Gujarat will increase. This festival will become the foundation of our national unity. He appealed that through this medium we keep making collective efforts to come closer as much as possible. The Chief Minister concluded the address with ‘Nikka Nandri’, ‘Jai Somnath’, ‘Jai-Jai Garvi Gujarat’.
