Gujarat is the Westernmost state of India. It is bounded by Rajasthan to the northeast, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu to the south, Maharashtra to the southeast, Madhya Pradesh to the east, and the Arabian Sea and the Pakistani province of Sindh to the west.

Gujarat came into force on May 1, 1960, carved out of the 17 northern districts of Bombay state when that was split on the linguistic basis (Marathi-speaking). Gujarat is an industrially advanced state, and although it is not a popular tourist destination among foreigners, it still holds an important place in India. The people of Gujarat are also known to be a thriving business community.

  The history of Gujarat is almost 3,500 years ago. The archaeological findings at Lothal near Dhandhuka in Ahmedabad district and Razdi in Saurashtra give proof of the Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilization.
