The Mewar region consists of the four southern districts of Rajasthan and the people are known for their bravery and valor. When other parts of India bowed down to the British during their invasion, the Shorgar Mewari did not. They would rather die than bow before the enemy.
Mewari is the common term used to refer to different caste groups and includes some tribes. One of the Mewari groups is called the Shorgar. They are Muslim.
Though most peoples in Mewar and the entirety of Rajasthan are Hindu, the Shorgar people are Sunni Muslim.
An extremely dry climate is typical of this region. The scorching heat of the summer and the freezing cold of the winter have toughened the people. Lack of water is a major challenge for agriculture, with droughts generally seen every three or four years, yet sometimes heavy rains cause floods and destruction.
Pray for Christ followers among the Shorgar people to stand firm in the faith and not be shaken because of adverse situations.
Pray for God to raise up and equip his ambassadors to every people in the Marwar area, especially the Shorgar community.
Pray for trained and equipped translators to translate the Scriptures accurately.
