Listen a Song of Thar Palkar ( To day in Pakistan Sindh Area )
Thar - is the name of desert, and this desert created beacause of River Saraswathi dried up. The area Thar is a paL (means desert ) covering Rajastan, Kutch and Sindh, Baluchistan (both in pakistan).
We migrants of Saurashtra called ourself as paLkar. This " paLkar " word means people of desert and Rain shadow areas.
Our ancestors told us that we are lived in sorrounding places of Somnath / Prabhas patan. Prabhas patan / Veraval is in Rain shadow area. We can call this area as Starting point of desert ( paL = desert in Saurashtra language ) OR end point of Thar desert. The people who belongs to this paL desert are called as paLkar.
This paL desert called as " Parkar " in Pak. region.
This Video belongs to Thar Parkar of Pakistan.
In this song, I cant mean much words, but I hope I overcome this (not sure). But Dont miss the melody, & and The Temple shown at very last of this Video and People of Thar.
Like Saurashtra Palkar people, the ' Sha ' community of India spreaded over many regions in India and Pakistan. The Sha people's origin is Rajastan's Thar palkar. They mentioned that their ancestrol probably begins from ' Sahasra Raja OR Sagar Raja ' Clan. The spoken Dialect of ' Sha ' people is much resembles Sourashtra of South India. A considerable population of ' Sha ' community existing in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.
Though they are considered as ' Kshatriya ' in olden days, but today generally they are also known as Weaving community like Sourashtra community of Tamil Nadu. The Sourashtra community of Tamil Nadu is community of ' Veenkar ' (weaver community ). The Veenkaar community is called as in Gujarat as ' VaNkar ' ( Derived from Sanskrit term : Vayana kAra ). We assume that Tamil Nadu Sourastra's are belongs to Brahman and VaNkar / Veenkaar community; who are migrated from Saurashtra.
