Gujarati Culture, Reputation, Business
Gujaratis are usually conservative Hindus or orthodox Muslims living in a society that rigidly follows traditions and social orders. What binds the communities together is a common passion for business and making money as well as overall reputation. The Gujaratis are renowned for their business acumen. This has developed from centuries of maritime trade and commerce. The native Gujarati has spread to many parts of the world - notably East and South Africa, the UK and USA in search of new business opportunities. It is this spirit of entrepreneurship that has made Gujarat one of the most industrialised states in India. Currently, Ahmedabad which is the capital of Gujarat, is also the industrial capital of India. I found this extremely interesting, but it helped me put two and two together. Gujaratis and Punjabis are two of the largest Indian immigrant communities in the world. Understandably, the entrepreneurial and business motivation has made this group of people and their culture global!
