Kutch State
Kutch State was a state within the Republic of India from 1947 to 1956. Its capital was Bhuj.
The state's territory now forms a district within the Indian state of Gujarat.
History
Kutch State was formed out of the territory of the former princely state of Cutch, whose ruler (Maharao Sri Vijayaraji) had acceded to the Dominion of India with effect from 15 August 1947.
The administration of Kutch after accession, however, remained in the hands of its former ruler until his death on 26 February 1948, when it then passed to his son, Maharao Shri Meghraji. On 1 June 1948 the administration was transferred to the Government of India, working through a Chief Commissioner.
Initially Kutch functioned as a province. Upon the Constitution of India coming into force on 26 January 1950, Kutch became a "Class C" state, i.e. its administration was under the direct control of India's central government.
On 1 November 1956, Bombay State was re-organized under the States Reorganisation Act, absorbing various territories including Kutch State, which ceased to exist.

The Tree Song
by: Kiyoshi YoshidaOnce upon a time was there
an old and lonely tree
By him folks had come and gone
And he was still standing still
No carved names,
No dance and prayers
Took his sorrows away
He dreamed to have
All lives and hearts
And own them all his own
The children's laughter
Tears for joy
New born babys too
Up he swallowed birds and beasts
To fill his lonely soul
Now that he is all alone
The old and lonely tree
No more song is in the wind
And the tree is standing still
Once upon a time
Was there an old and lonely tree
The clear and blue sky up above
And he was standing still
Shiny snowflakes, rain in spring
Could never ease his soul
He dreamed to have
The whole wide world
And own it all his own
Oceans and mountains
Flowers in white
The sun, the moon and stars
Even the shadows swallowed he
To fill his empty soul
Now that he is all alone
The old and lonely tree
No more day or night exists
