ANCIENT HISTORY OF GUJARAT PDF USE FULL ALL EXAMS. BY VIJAY JADAV

ANCIENT HISTORY OF GUJARAT
Gujarat, on the West Coast of India, has a rich history dating back to ancient times. It has had its fair share of maharajas and princes though it may have been slightly overshadowed by the princely splendor of neighboring Rajasthan. The excavation at Lothal shows that this region was part of a flourishing Indus valley civilization dating back to 3700 BC with its dock connecting Sabarmati to trade routes in Sindh. Blessed with a large coastline, Gujarat was the gateway to the Middle East. Gujarat takes its name from the nomadic tribe of Gujjars who settled here and there are speculations that these tribes arrived here from Georgia though how far that is true is a moot point. The fact is that Gujarat is a mix of diverse ethnic people with Adivasis perhaps forming the original inhabitants and people from Turkey, Iraq, Iran and the Middle East having settled in Saurashtra and Gujarat. There are Afridis from Africa in some pockets of Gujarat and the various invasions by Greeks, by Muslims from Persia and elsewhere all have left their influence here. So let’s travel down the time line and see how Gujarat possibly evolved.
