Miracle Of Survival! Poem by Ramesh T A

Miracle of Survival!

Can there be history sans evidence of events
Oral, written and witness on such periods..?
Can a community of people be known sans any
Written history by some scholar in the world?

Without script can history of any community be
Maintained by those people who live somewhere?
Such questions crop up when one thinks about
Sourashtra community living in South India long!

Yes, without any record, history and script of their
Own language, Sourashtrians live doing various jobs
Speaking Sourashtra at home and among thenselves
Without using it in public writing in their own script!

Miracle of survival of Sourashtrians in South India
Saving their language even after hundreds of years
Indeed is a great feat no other community anywhere
Seems to have achieved in the whole world, I say...!
