Place : Rajkot Date : 09-2-2004 Name and Signature of Guide ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Journey towards the knowledge is tough task – which is just possible only through the showering of the blessings from almighty – the lord. I humbly pray to god for making this task complete. My parents are nonetheless important who have always been the source of inspiration since, my birth. I hearty remember my late mother at this moment. I also respectfully acknowledge the blessings of my lovable Father. I am indebted to my then Professor Dr. V. H. Joshi who has motivated all through out in my life for my academic pursuit. I am thankful to Prof. Dr. B. D. Parmar and Prof. Dr. K. K. Khhakhar. Academic motivation and guidance contributes much to such task for which I duly respect to my guide Tushar Hathi. At the beginning of my research work I was at Junagadh. Where my the then Principal B. J. Vataliya helped and inspired a lot and I am lucky enough to have spirited warmth from my existing principle of Rajkot college Ms. Smitaben Zala. I am thankful to both of them. Elders and friends at various stages play important role. It is in this regard that I remember the co-operation of Shri M.M.Rawal elderly Professor of Commerce at Junagadh, Prof. M.A.Nanadania and Prof. Kaushik Pandya (Junagadh) Prof. Sunil Sharma, Dr. Haresh Zala, Prof. Praful Sukhanandi, Dr. Viru Purohit, Prof. Vimal Vyas, Prof. Sudhaben Acharya, Prof. Devendra Pandya, Prof. K.V.Tanchak and J.K. Jogal. I respectfully take note of the co-operation in the form of valuable literature. I received from lead bank division. Head office – S.B.S. Bhavnagar in general and Mr Savaliya sir of the department in particular. I am equally thankful to the research officers of Bureau of Economics and Statistics Gandhinagar. Research work demands domestic sacrifice. It is possible only because of My wife Rasila Tanchak and My kids Amit and Disha. Who voluntarily accepted to live themselves deprived of my love and affection during the course of study. I duly appreciate the warmth and co-operation received at home from Utkarsh, Aditi and Dharmishthaben Hathi. Last but not the least computerization work completed neatly and timely for which I appreciate the energy and efficiency of Shree Shivam Computers (Bihag Oza).

Rivers Textile Society of America Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/tsaconf Rivers, Victoria Z., "Decoding the Divine: Kathi Embroideries of Saurashtra" (2000). Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings. 783. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/tsaconf/783 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Textile Society of America at DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It has been accepted for inclusion in Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Decoding the Divine: Kathi Embroideries of Saurashtra Professor Victoria Z. Rivers This paper focuses on nineteenth and early twentieth century textiles produced by the Kathi people of Saurashtra in northwest India, and motifs similar to the Kathi's repertoire. The purpose is to stimulate new thinking about archaic embroidered images and how they relate to the larger world of ancient solar/astral worship and the regenerative principles of nature. To understand this complex construct, let's start with the Kathi background, a brief history of the region, an analysis of some ancient motifs, and geographical heritage. Visually, Kathi textiles contrast bright against dark. The silky untwisted floss called heer, also adds luster through elongated darning stitches called adiya-fatiya, some chain stitch and bavaliya or thorn stitch, long herringbone stitches, and some surface satin stitches.

  • Morbi District Is Located in the Saurashtra Region of Indian State of Gujarat
    Morbi District is located in the Saurashtra region of Indian state of Gujarat. It was formed on August 15, 2013, on the 67th Independence Day of India. The district has 5 talukas - Morbi, Maliya, Tankara, Wankaner and Halvad. This district is surrounded by Kutch district to the north, Surendranagar district to the east, Rajkot district to the south and Jamnagar district to the west. Morbi, also known as Morvi is the administrative headquarters of Morbi district, which literally means City of Peacocks. The town of Morbi is endowed not only with great natural beauty, but it is also famous for its colorful history and rich cultural heritage. The town of Morbi is situated on the bank of Machchhu River, 35 km from the sea and 60 km from Rajkot. The city-state of Morbi and much of the building heritage and town planning, are attributed to the administration of Sir Lakhdhiraji Waghji, who ruled from 1922 to 1948. The Machchhu dam failure or Morbi disaster was a dam-related flood disaster which occurred on 11 August 1979. Morbi has long been a center for trade and industry. In the beginning, the economy of the town was mainly dependent on ceramic and clock manufacturing industry. Today, the area has also become a growing hub for paper mills and other ancillary industries such as packaging industry, export houses etc. Together, they have created a vibrant and sustainable economy in this region. After the bifurcation from Rajkot District Court, Morbi District Court started its functioning from 02/10/2016 and presently, there are 2 Appellate Courts, 1 Family Court, 1 Labour Court, 5 Senior Division Courts/Chief Courts & 7 Junior Division Courts, are functioning in Morbi District.

  • FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS on THREE CONTINENTS a Dissertation Submitted to the Facu
    FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics By Sheena Shah, M.S. Washington, DC May 14, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Sheena Shah All Rights Reserved ii FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS Sheena Shah, M.S. Thesis Advisors: Alison Mackey, Ph.D. Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the causes behind the differences in proficiency in the North Indian language Gujarati among heritage learners of Gujarati in three diaspora locations. In particular, I focus on whether there is a relationship between heritage language ability and ethnic and cultural identity. Previous studies have reported divergent findings. Some have found a positive relationship (e.g., Cho, 2000; Kang & Kim, 2011; Phinney, Romero, Nava, & Huang, 2001; Soto, 2002), whereas others found no correlation (e.g., C. L. Brown, 2009; Jo, 2001; Smolicz, 1992), or identified only a partial relationship (e.g., Mah, 2005). Only a few studies have addressed this question by studying one community in different transnational locations (see, for example, Canagarajah, 2008, 2012a, 2012b). The current study addresses this matter by examining data from members of the same ethnic group in similar educational settings in three multi-ethnic and multilingual cities. The results of this study are based on a survey consisting of questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and proficiency tests with 135 participants. Participants are Gujarati heritage language learners from the U.K., Singapore, and South Africa, who are either current students or recent graduates of a Gujarati School.
