Under the presidency of Central Samaj President Shri Ramji Karamshi Nakrani, in an unprecedented extraordinary meeting held at Nakhatrana, the society published a “White Paper” and undertook the monumental task of re-establishing the Sanatani identity of the caste. It was decided to celebrate 50 years of the constitutional formation of the society in 1960 as “Golden Jubilee Festival” and also to hold the “Fifth Convention of the Caste” at Nakhatrana from 10th to 13th May-2010. Shri Gangarambhai Sankhla was given the responsibility of Convener of the Golden Jubilee Festival.
At that time, in the executive meeting of the organization of brothers and sisters associated with the education field of the society – Shri Akhil Bharatiya Kutch Kadva Patidar Saraswat Parivar, held at Ultravision School in Surendranagar, a suggestion was made by the then former president of Yuvasangh, Bharatbhai Pokar, to present a social play in the Golden Jubilee Festival. Which was accepted happily and the responsibility of this program was given to the General Secretary of Saraswat Parivar, Dr. Vasant Dholu. As a guide, the responsibility was given to the educationist and executive member associated with the Central Society for years and the first Vice President of Central Yuvasangh, Principal of Talod Science College, Ratibhai Chhabhaiya.
The work of preparing a play by obtaining old reference books of the history of the society was given to playwright Shri Ashish Thakar, Palanpur and the work of direction was given to Science College professor Dr. Dipubhai Pabreja. Under the leadership of our society’s Professor Dr. Vasant Dholu serving in Talod Science College, a total of 55 youths studying in Science – Arts and Commerce College, Talod and others from the society spread the light of acting in the play “Swarnimne Sathware Chalya Kadva Patidar… Samarth Patidar”. For two months in the scorching 48-degree heat of summer, these artists and assistants practiced hard at Trinity School, Talod and prepared the property of the play themselves. In this play, Dr. Vasant Dholu in the character of Keshra Parmeshwara, Pratik Limbani (Bani Kampa) in the character of Narayan Ramji Limbani, Shilpa Dholu in the role of his mother Rajbai, Dhairya Dholu as a child artist, Niral Bhadani (Alva Kampa) in other main character, Bhavika Nakrani (Rakhiyal) and Namrata Bhavani (Motesari) in the eloquent role of narrator, Divya, Parth and Nilam Bhagat (Talod), Nikesh Bhojani (Ganeshpura), Payal Pokar (Jagatpura Kampa), Shraddha, Parth and Om Bhavani (Hirapur Kampa), Mayur (Dhanpurakampa), Mayank Prajapati (Talod) for dress and property, Elder Pri. Vitthalbhai Chhabhaiya (Takhatgarh) played the main role.
In this play, under what circumstances our society’s elders had to leave Unjha region, being scorned by their own brothers and settle in Kutch region, religious rituals with Muslim tinge performed after accepting Pirana Panth, black resolution passed by Gedheras in Samvat 1832 pushing the caste into darkness, change in the caste after the struggle of Netravasi Narveer Pujya Keshra Parmeshwara to re-embrace Sanatan Dharma and after that the revolutionary decisions for body purification made by youths for embracing Sanatan Dharma by Pujya Narayan Ramji Limbani and struggle with Gedheras, incidents of Mumbai for Sanatani work, this play encompassing many things like Vahivanchas and lullaby singing method with the establishment of Lord Laxminarayan temple held more than 10,000 spectators with pin-drop silence and curiosity. Intellectual Satpanthi friends watching the play got up and left midway as they could not bear the fact. This play was also being broadcast live. Piranapanthis, who could not tolerate the truth of history being presented in the play, made a futile attempt to stop the live broadcast by cutting the cables.
Thus, this play “Swarnimne Sathware Chalya Kadva Patidar… Samarth Patidar” gave tremendous support to the Sanatani movement. More than 10,000 CDs of this play were sold. Its melodious music is still playing in every program of the society today. Writing, direction, dressing, acting, music, dialogues, sets with properties looking exactly like old times etc. were nothing less than a divine miracle. After this play, as the Sanatani spirit of the intellectual class of the society became stronger, organizations running in mix adopted purification over time and gave great strength to the Central Society. After that, organizations like Sanatan Educose, Sanatan Medicos, Sanatan Advocates, Sanatan CA & CS worked to make the Sanatani ideology of the Central Society more rapid. Especially Prof. Dr. Vasant Dholu who took the responsibility of this play and played the role of Pujya Keshra Parmeshwara and accepted various responsibilities in Yuvasangh and awakened new consciousness in youths, women and elders across India through unique works and from the artists who played roles in the drama, the society got Sanatani fighters.
