Saurashtra / Kathiyawar

home of great Indian Freedom Fighters like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
land of Great Indus valley sites like Lothal, Dwarika, Rojdi and Rangpur.
home of Mecca of Jain Palitana. and first Shiv Temple somenath and Krishna Dham Dwarika. palitana :
dwarika :
somenath :
land of various Indo-Aryan,Scythian,Drividian(IVC) tribes such as Ahir(12%), Brahmin(5%), Rajput(20%), Gujjar(10%), Jat, Charan, Rabari and Bharvad(40%), patel(12%) and kathi(15%) who migrated from Punjab to Saurashtra and gave its new name Kathiyawar.
(totally different ethnic makeup from mainland Gujarat)
mer kshatriyas small community of 5% people who migrated from (Southern Iran,Balochistan and sindh) but still even rajputs dont have balls to pick a fight with these people.
home of only surviving lion Race outside Africa, Asiatic lion
and home of Saurashtra language(now extinct) but her soul is still lives inside Kathiyawari Dialect of Gujarati Language.
as you can see my small region is filled with various historical and cultural landmarks but due to sheer neglect our "Ancient History" is going down to the drains. as a native of this regions it pains me. only question that comes to my mind is how can i change this ? how can i turn this around ? how can i promote rich History and Culture of my Home my land ? it was easier for before when our land was a separate "state of Saurashtra" or "United States of Kathiyawar" in 19550s. we lost our statehood in 1961 and now playing 2nd fiddle to Gujaratis. today our region (with Kutch and Anhilwar) is poorest Region in Gujarat. please still miss our old state and still agree that we were better on our own.
i am a son of this great and holy soil and i want to do something for it and my people regardless of our caste or religious background. is there anyway i can promote my region to boost Tourism ? how ?
i am asking this question as this forum is filled with many intelligent and successful people from all over world. i hope you guys will help us.
