"Jay Jay Garvi Gujarāt"[a] is a poem written by Gujarati poet Narmadashankar Dave in 1873. It is used as a state anthem during ceremonies of the Government of Gujarat.[1][2]
Composition
[edit]Narmad is considered the first modern Gujarati writer. He wrote the poem in 1873 as the foreword of his first Gujarati dictionary, Narmakosh.[3][4][2]
In this poem, Narmad epitomises the sense of pride in the region by identifying the region of Gujarati people. He delineates the boundary within which the Gujarati-speaking population live: Ambaji in the north; Pavagadh in the east; Kunteshwar Mahadev near Vapi in the south; and Somnath, Dwarka in the west. This region mentioned by him now forms modern-day Gujarat, the western state of India.[3][5][2] At the end of the poem, Narmad gives hope to the people of Gujarat that the dark clouds is lifting, and a new dawn is about to emerge.[6]
In 2011, the composition sung by various Gujarati singers was released by the Government of Gujarat.[1]
