river go waste into the sea. It is also an occasion to revive the
extinct Saraswati River which used to flow through Gujarat 400
years ago.

Civilization remains show the how developed it was in town
planning, culture, vast playgrounds and merchandise. He said that
excavations at Lothal showed that the period was rich in maritime
trade too.
Paying his tributes to the people responsible for a flourishing
civilization five thousands ago, Mr. Modi fervently called upon
particularly the new generation to keep alive the civilization.
There is no place for complacency. A nation which neglects its
history cannot build a new nation.

families as he praised the Sindhi community for maintaining their
culture, family bond, mother tongue, dress and food habits. He had
