Our History
 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
We are very excited and happy to post the history of some of the
greatest people of Tankaria and the village itself.
It has been said that history is made up of events and the events
are attached to people. So, ultimately, it's the people who make
up the most part of the history. This is very true in the case of
our village Tankaria and its people: "Tankarvis". Why do we
take pride to call ourselves Tankarvis? Why do we get respect
and distinct identity over the others? Why does Tankaria
always lead the others in most of the developments? We were
the first in the Bharuch rural area to have high school, first to
have English medium school and also the first to have very own
website (www.mytankaria.com), creating paths for others to
follow.
Actually, the foundation was laid by our forefathers hundreds
of years ago. Their efforts are now paying back to their
generation. Our great grandfathers had the promises and vision
for themselves, for the future generations and for the
village....and firm determination to live up those promises given
to their ancestors and dreams seen by themselves. They were
rebels to some and idols for the others. They wanted to do
something different and wanted to create a path for others to
walk, not to walk on the path created by the others. They
frequently came up with ideas to do something noble for the
village...something that has an ever lasting impression in the
development of Tankaria. And, our ancestors successfully did
it....they left the great and proud mark on the history of Tankaria.
Meet these people in the words of "Bekaar", Ibrahim
Dadabhai "Bekaar", a well-respected name in Gujarati
literature. He complied the list in 1955 and wrote about the
people who contributed most to Tankaria. The list decorates the
good work of some of the heroes of Tankaria.
Every Tankarvi is an unsung hero who is eager to leave mark on
the history. So, read it to find out who they were.
