“Bush ne Iraq pe char dhokle gira diye!” Funny!
Fafda, khaman, dhokla, idda and undhiyu...Kem cho? Maja ma? The world of Gujjus exist beyond this too and very seldom people know how we are!
Foodies, business-minded and a foul lingo (how people THINK we say Sarves instead of Sarvesh!) is all what people know about the Gujjus! It is one of the oldest and richest culture of India. According to the US Census Bureau in 2006 there were 1,417,000 people in the US who spoke Gujarati, Hindi or other Indic languages (e.g. Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu) at home; Gujaratis comprised 299,000 of these numbers, suggesting approximately 20% of Indian Americans are Gujarati.Walchand Hirachand, Ambalal Sarabhai, Dhirubhai Ambani and his sons, Ratan Tata, Mirabai, Mahatma Gandhi, Ismail Darbar, Paresh Raval, Mallika Sarabhai, Mahesh Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Alka Yagnik, Kunal Ganjawala, Morarji Desai and inestimable others hail from this culture of dal-dhokli, papdi and bhusu! Talking about people, extremely warm, friendly and intelligent. We are mistaken to be money-minded all the time, but people do not know how we go to any extent to help someone! God fearing and God loving at the same time.We have a heart of gold and a mind of steel. Narendra Modi has brought the state to a No. 1 position, the fastest growing state in all sectors. Gujaratis have the strength to take out water from a stone! Hard-work and perseverance flows in our blood. We have moved to No.1,made India proud at a national and global level, and all people talk about us is, thepla, ganthiya and sev-mamra!
