Gujarat: The Land of Enterprise

Gujarat has been a gateway to the world since the days of the **Harappan Civilisation (Lothal)**. Its identity is forged by a long coastline, a mercantile ethos, and political leadership that gave India figures like **Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel**. It represents a blend of entrepreneurial spirit, cooperative movements (Amul), and deep cultural roots in Jainism and Vaishnavism. * **Key Themes:** Maritime trade history, the Dandi March, and the cooperative economic model.
