The Great Migration Of Sourashtrians!

The Great Migration of Sourashtrians! Like the exodus of Jews from Egypt to Promised Land, Like the ouster of Kashmir Pundits by Islamic extremists, Due to inevitable historical reasons, the great migration of Sourashtrians to South India took place around 8th century! Losing and leaving behind their houses, properties, valuables And everything to escape from the looting of Mohammedan Invaders from the West, Sourashtrians migrated from place To place relying only on their working skill as weavers ever! Sourashtrians are invited by Emperor Krishnadevaraya to Make silk dresses for Royal families in his capital in Hampi Near Bellary district of today after they had worked in Maharashtra and Karnataka States for two centuries in each! When the Krishnadevaraya Empire came down, Sourashtrians Received the patronage of Madurai Naick Kings in 16th century With their families settling around Thirumalai Naicker Mahal And the Meenakchi Temple as Royal guests to make dresses....! The survival, sustenance and success story of Sourashtrians is Quite amazing though they have not developed their script And maintained any record or history of their migration long Staying and developing places like Madurai, Trichy, Tanjore!
