PARE, SHVETAL VYAS. "Writing Fiction, Living History: Kanhaiyalal Munshi's historical trilogy." Modern Asian Studies 48, no. 3 (June 4, 2013): 596–616. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0026749x12000777.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractKanhaiyalal Munshi was a pre-eminent Gujarati author, freedom fighter and politician. A member of the Indian National Congress and a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, he is credited with having developed and popularized the concept of Gujarat ni asmita, or Gujarati self-consciousness. This paper focusses on a trilogy of Munshi's historical fiction namely Patan Ni Prabhuta (The Glory of Patan) (1916), Gujarat No Nath (The Master of Gujarat) (1917–1918) and Rajadhiraj (The King of Kings) (1922). This paper offers a close reading of these texts, to argue that the trilogy offers the possibility of opening up notions of Gujarati identity, and of showing its constructed nature. Munshi's engagement with the ideas of politics, heroism and nation-building reflects the concerns of a movement that is trying to understand both itself and the nation that it is in the process of imagining. Highlighting the subversion of the texts is an attempt to stretch the boundaries of Gujarati identity, and think differently about the meaning of being Gujarati.

Full textAbstract:
This study offers a unique perspective by centering on the decision-making process of Gujarati parents in the educational technology (edtech) sector, particularly in the western region of India. Departing from traditional research that predominantly focuses on K–12 students, this study prioritizes understanding the viewpoints and preferences of parents. It aims to uncover the myriad factors influencing Gujarati parents' choices of edtech companies for their children, including the reputation of businesses, the quality of educational materials, interactivity, cost-effectiveness, and regional or cultural influences specific to Gujarat. Moreover, the research delves into the marketing strategies employed by edtech companies in Gujarat, seeking to discern how they adapt their tactics to resonate with Gujarati parents' needs. Utilizing digital tools like Google Forms for data collection ensures efficiency and convenience, while statistical analyses validate findings. Ultimately, the study endeavors to provide fresh insights into Gujarat's edtech market dynamics, enabling companies to tailor their products and marketing strategies to better serve Gujarati parents and their children.

Full textAbstract:
Dhruv P Bhatt, who is excellent in Gujarati language and literature, is one of the foremost pioneers of impudent ecocritical issues in narratives in Gujarati literature. Contemporary accomplishments of Gujarati literature are depicted in Bhatt’s Samudrantike, written in the Gujarati language in the foundation stage. Subsequently, the text was translated into English as Oceanside Blues by Vinod Meghani in 2013. The focus of the novel offered is set against the background of his own experience. The present paper titled, “Theoretical Representation of Dhruv P Bhatt’s Oceanside Blues seems to explore the theory of ecocriticism, environmental problems, importance of coastal area of Gujarat, sea, festivities related to Gujarati Khaarava’ as well as culture and taboos of Guajarati maritime community with the variegated characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper presents evidence for a new theory that indigenous scripts of Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines are descendants of an early variety of Gujarati script introduced into the archipelago, thus placing them in the Nagari group. This at first seems implausible, but the historical record attests to the major role of Gujaratis in the archipelago. Tomé Pires (Cortesão 1944) reports a thousand Gujaratis in Malacca prior to 1512, Barnes (2004) shows that Gujaratis sold printed cloths manufactured to the tastes of customers in Sulawesi and the Moluccas around this time, and Gujaratis are known to have played a major role in introducing Islam to the archipelago.

Full textAbstract:
This article translates four essays from the memoirs of Gujarati writer Sharifa Vijaliwala that are replete with sociological insights. Methodologically, the genre of memoir affords a rich source portraying the everyday social fabric of rural Gujarat in the 1970s and the changing landscape of the state in later years. In the course of essaying her life stories, she depicts the predicaments and contestations about place, mobility and social interactions within the larger matrix of Gujarati society. What is depicted in graphic detail is the transformation in the web of social relations at the margins of Gujarati society and the present ‘crisis of faith’ that underlies its civil society.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper has two purposes. Firstly, it provides a bird’s eye view of the characteristics of a variety of Gujarati in diaspora, viz. that spoken in Cape Town, South Africa for almost 150 years. Secondly it focusses on one notable feature, viz. the prominence of retroflexes over dentals, and connects this with other dialects of Gujarati in India and with Western Indo-Aryan. We analyse the speech of 32 speakers born or brought up in South Africa, and resident in Cape Town. We show that Cape Town Gujarati retains the dialect variation of late nineteenth century Gujarati as identified by Grierson, Sir George A. 1908. Linguistic survey of India. Vol IX, part II: Indo-Aryan family, Central Group – Rajasthani and Gujarati. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass. In particular, it resembles the Surti dialect, in keeping with the fact that the area around Surat district provided the bulk of migrants to Cape Town in the nineteenth and twentieth century. We then focus in detail on a prominent, but little-studied, phenomenon of Gujarati dialects: the variable occurrence of retroflex stops where Standard Gujarati has dentals [t̪ t̪h d̪ d̪h]. We demonstrate the considerable amount of such “retroflex boosting” in the Cape Town variety. We provide a detailed and replicable methodology from variationist sociolinguistics for studying this boosting that we believe illuminates the study of its occurrence in modern dialects in Gujarat.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract District (pargana)-level land revenue administration in late-Mughal south Gujarat was run mostly by Hindu and Jain family firms which operated within a multilingual environment featuring Gujarati and Marathi as well as Persian. Similar arrangements continued under early East India Company control but, by the 1820s, the British had done away with land-revenue family firms and their contextual multilingualism, replacing them with directly-employed village accountants writing only in Gujarati. This article argues that pargana-level officials’ multilingualism and relative autonomy were not an 18th-century aberration but a key feature of Mughal administration, dislodged with difficulty by the British.

Introduction: Orthodontists have relied on cephalometric radiographs for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning since the advent of cephalometric radiography. The variations in different ethnic groups within the same country creates a need for cephalometric norms for each of such ethnic groups. McNamara’s analysis is the most commonly used and most suitable for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Aim: The study aims to formulate cephalometric norms for Gujarati boys and girls using McNamara’s analysis.
Materials & Method: The sample of children for the study was selected from the government funded primary schools of Gujarat. The sample size consisted of 250 school going Gujarati children (125 boys and 125 girls) with age ranging from 9 to 12 years.
Materials & Method: A digital lateral cephalograph was taken under standard conditions for all children and manual tracings were done for identifying all cephalometric landmarks. The analysis was done using McNamara’s analysis and statistical analysis was done
Statistical Analysis: Gender differences were calculated using student’s t test. The software was utilized to calculate the mean value, standard deviation, range, maximum and minimum values for all parameters of McNamara’s analysis for Gujarati boys as well as girls. The inter examiner variability was tested using Karl Pearson correlation test.
Results: The mean and standard deviation with minimum values, maximum values and range for each of 11 parameters were calculated for all male and female subjects. The gender differences were also calculated for all subjects.
Conclusion: This study introduces cephalometric norms for the mixed dentition period using McNamara Analysis for Gujarati children residing in Ahmedabad – Gandhinagar districts of Gujarat which can be utilized for orthodontic treatment in the future.

AbstractGujarat is a state in Western part of India. It is well known for its cuisine which is predominantly lacto-vegetarian and has characteristic ‘sweet tinge’ in all the food items. The occupation and lifestyle of Gujarati people is mainly sedentary and participation in sports and other physical activities is limited. In this article we have explored the components and characteristics of Gujarati diet and lifestyle in relation to the risk of diabetes. Though prima facie the Gujarati diet and lifestyle may seem more diabetogenic compared to the cuisine of other states of India, there is very little objective evidence to suggest the same. Infact, the prevalence of diabetes in the state of Gujarat is lower compared to other states with equivalent GDP. In this is article we have also tried to find possible explanations of this paradoxical observation.

Full textAbstract:
A rich body of historical and anthropological scholarship has critically interrogated the making and remaking of ‘Gujarat’, exploring not only the political and social contestations around the formation of Gujarat as regional territory but also the articulation of distinct regional identities in various parts of the region and by various ‘minority’ communities. This article contributes to these discussions through a case study of a transnational community of Gujarati Muslims, Sunni Vohras from Charotar in central Gujarat, drawing on travel-along ethnographic research with a migrant visiting his ‘homeland’. The tensions brought about by the unfolding politics of Hindu nationalism in post-2002 Gujarat have influenced how mobile members of this group reproduce social relations in a transnational social field and cultivate social and material ties to the region. Conceptualizing the region as constituted by various kinds of mobilities, and paying special attention to social relations and social–economic practices, the article demonstrates how a regional homeland can be uncovered through ‘travel-along’ ethnographic research.

This study uses a survey to examine the propensity of Indian Gujarati youth to enlist in the Army. The predictors were organized in three categories of demographic, individual characteristics of personality, routine and behavior, and socioeconomic and cultural aspects to measure their impact on the intention to enlist. The relationship between son’s intent to enlist and the father’s intent to allow the son’s enlistment was tested by logistic regression. The results of the study showed that non-Gujarati domiciles of Gujarat and the higher number of people working in the industrial plants had positive effect on enlistment propensity, whereas location of a factory near their residence had negative effect on the intention to enlist. Members of National Cadet Corps and those who did not have a family role model showed a positive intention to enlist.

Quality education is one of the key sustainable development goals. The new education policy in India emphasizes on mother tongue instruction up to class 5 to foster a faster learning process, improved learning outcomes, enhanced classroom participation, and decrease in school dropout rate. These benefits, if experienced, help in building the personality of the child and enhances the quality of education. This study is an attempt to understand the impact of mother tongue-based instruction until class 5 on the personality development of the child through core self-evaluation scale. A total of 600 children whose mother tongue is Gujarati, who underwent mother tongue-based instruction until class 5 and are now studying in 6th, 7th, and 8th classes in Gujarati medium schools in Gandhinagar district, Gujarat have been considered for the study. Results showed that there no impact of mother tongue-based instruction on the personality development of a child.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropological fieldwork in rural settlements on the west coast of India has unraveled the close connection between lived experiences, spaces and objects. These “inalienable possessions”, in the words of Annette Weiner, help reconstruct the past through the supplementation of oral traditions. Following this vein, the paper attempts to mesh together the material culture and oral histories to establish the provenance for the plethora of memorials in the state of Gujarat. A series of oral narratives collected in Western India since 2014 has highlighted the role of medieval memorial stelae that commemorate the deceased heroes of war and their wives and companions. This paper creates a niche for the Gujarati oral tradition as provenance for the continued veneration of these memorials. Field observations from 2014–2016 and notes from research in Gujarat from 1985 onwards enabled the study of patterns in the oral preservation of literature. A systematic documentation of the existing stelae and associated oral traditions has informed the views in this paper. The paper speaks to all levels of interaction and the making of an identity for the memorial stones that are unique to the state of Gujarat. A case for the inclusion of such rich material in museum displays is made in connection with this case study of the memorial stelae in Gujarat.

Abstract: This paper examines an early twentieth-century embroidered hanging from Gujarat, India that depicts an image of the Hindu god Krishna in his form as Shrinathji. Strikingly different from most other Gujarati textiles as well as from large-scale temple hangings dedicated to Krishna, the textile explored here is unusual in its techniques and materials and may be the result of British interaction on the subcontinent. Furthermore, this object was likely made by a female embroiderer for her own use and as such reveals a personal expression of devotion or bhakti .

Full textAbstract:
The political culture of the Gujarat Congress has been traditionally characterized by a conservative overtone that contrasted with the progressive ethos of party units of other provinces. This specificity comes not only from the Gujarati asmita, but also from the attitude of Mahatma Gandhi who did not fully support progressive elements, such as Indulal Yagnik, against more conservative leaders, including Vallabhbhai Patel, K.M. Munshi, G. Nanda and M. Desai. These leaders, who—all of them—eventually exerted power in New Delhi, had affinities with the Sangh parivar, a phenomenon suggesting a unique, regional porosity between the Congress and the Hindutva forces.

AbstractFar less attention has been paid to the rise to importance of the Gujarati port of Surat, than to its decline. This brief essay, a tribute to the memory of Surat's best-known historian, Ashin Das Gupta, attempts to address the problem of its rise before the Mughal conquest of Gujarat in the 1570s. It argues that once Diu had been taken over by the Portuguese in 1535, Surat emerged as a crucial link between Southeast Asia and West Asia. Thus, one needs to look not only at the relationship between the port and its hinterland, but to Surat's role as an entrepôt, in order to explain its rise.

AbstractIndia is unique for the magnitude of her diversities in terms of languages and regions, religions and sects, castes and sub-castes, rural and urban, food and style of dress, which are also reflected by her diasporic communities. There are diasporic communities formed on the basis of linguistic or regional identities such as Punjabis, Gujaratis, Sindhis, Tamils, Malayalees and Telugus. Global organizations such as Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO), World Telugu Federation (WTF), and World Punjabi Organization (WPO), have recently emerged to preserve and promote the identities and cultures of Indians, uniting transnationally India and the global Indian diaspora. The past decade has witnessed a phenomenal dynamism among the diasporic communities, made possible by the recent advancement in technologies of travel, transport, and communications. Not only did these developments bring the diasporic communities and their motherland closer but they also facilitated in bringing together the members of their community dispersed around the world. The present article examines this emerging trend with the illustration of one of the important regional Indian diasporic communities, the Gujarati Diaspora. Gujaratis, the people from the central western parts of India, are one of the early Indian communities who have ventured out to different parts of the world for multiple reasons. Today, as one of the prominent Indian diasporic communities in the world, Gujaratis are successful not only in business, which is their first love, but also in professional fields such as technology, science, medicine, and business management.

Full textAbstract:
The study of translation history is crucial for understanding the choices and influences of translators, both in terms of their personal inclinations and external factors. Unfortunately, in Gujarat, the exploration of translation history has been limited to basic information such as dates, names of translations, and sometimes the names of translators. However, in the Western world, there has been a growing interest in translation history over the past three decades or so. Western scholars have embraced various theories and frameworks that emphasize the importance of investigating different facets of translation history, such as translator identity, patronage, censorship, support mechanisms, interventions, and the selection of texts. Interestingly, translation discussions often focus solely on the text itself, disregarding the translator as a cultural agent who enables the process of translation. By shedding light on the life and context of the translator, new facts and interpretations related to translation history can be discovered. One example of the association between Shakespeare’s plays and Gujarat dates to 1852 when the first adaptation of “Taming of the Shrew” was performed at St. Andrews Library in Surat. Since then, there have been numerous translations and adaptations of Shakespearean plays in Gujarat. However, very little is known about the lives and works of these translators. Bhanji Gokul Parekh is one such translator who rendered Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar into Gujarati, as Karunaras Julius Caesar Natak. Despite being the first translator of Shakespeare’s play, his contribution as a translator has been largely forgotten. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight Parekh’s significant contribution to translation history of Gujarat in the context of Shakespeare’s plays.

Objective. We aimed to establish age and sex specific percentile reference data for cardiovascular risk factors such as lipids, sugar, blood pressure, and BMI in apparently healthy and disease-free Gujarati population.Methods.In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 3265 apparently healthy and disease-free individuals of both genders residing in Gujarat state. Fasting samples of blood were used for biochemical estimations of lipids and sugar. The measurement of BMI and blood pressure was also done according to the standard guidelines. Age and gender specific 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 95th percentiles were obtained.Results. The mean values of lipids, sugar, blood pressure, and BMI were significantly (p<0.001) higher in males as compared to female population. Age-wise distribution trends showed increase in the risk factors from the 2nd decade until the 5th to 6th decade in most of the cases, where loss of premenopausal protection in females was also observed. Specific trends according to gender and age were observed in percentile values of various parameters.Conclusion.The outcome of current study will contribute significantly to proposing clinically important reference values of various lipids, sugar, blood pressure, and BMI that could be used to screen the asymptomatic Gujarati Indian population with a propensity of developing dyslipidemia, diabetes, blood pressure, and obesity.

Despite the recognition of cultural influences in child socialization, little is known about socialization of emotion in children from different cultures. This study examined (a) Gujarati Indian mothers' reports concerning their beliefs, affective and behavioral responses to their children's displays of anger, sadness, and physical pain, and (b) their children's reported decisions to express felt emotion. Eighty mothers and their children (between 5 and 9 years) from two urban communities (suburban and old city) in Gujarat, India participated. Results indicated that Gujarati mothers considered their children's expressions of anger and sadness to be less acceptable than physical pain, and were more likely to convey to the child that the angry or sad expression was unacceptable than with physical pain. Mothers' beliefs about the acceptability of their children's displays were correlated with their reported behaviors in response to those displays, as well as with their children's decisions to express those feelings. Within-culture findings indicated that mothers in the old city considered their children's expressions to be less acceptable than mothers in the suburban community. The findings are discussed in the context of collectivist orientation, Hindu ideology, and social organization across the two communities that influence mothers' reported beliefs and behaviors.

Abstract Background & aims: Establishing personal identity is one of prime objective in forensic investigation especially when the body is mutilated or certain body parts are missing. Height estimation is one of the main parameter in establishing the identity of the deceased and head circumference can be used to correctly estimate the height. Aim of current study was to establish anthropometric correlation of stature with head circumference in Gujarati adolescent population. Materials and Methods: 150 asymptomatic, apparently healthy, adolescent and adult medical students with age between 18 to 22 years belonging to various regions of Gujarat were selected. Head circumference and height of subjects were measured using a non-stretchable measuring tape in erect posture. Obtained data were analysed by regression analysis to derive regression equations for estimation of stature from head circumference. Results: We were able to calculate mean and SD of stature and head circumference, correlation coefficient and regression coefficient between head circumference and stature. We also derived the regression equations in order to estimate the stature from the head circumference. Conclusion: In the present study, we found that there is strong positive correlation between stature and head circumference. The regression equations obtained from the data can be used correctly to estimate the stature from the head circumference in Gujarati adolescent population.

Background: Quality of life (QOL) is a useful component in assessing the health of people and society. There are many reports on the validity of the four-domain structure of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), but few studies have investigated the possibility of a better alternative model fit among the general population. Objective: The objectives of the study were to perform exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the WHOQOL-BREF and to generate a model that fits among the general population of western Gujarat. Materials and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2022 to February 2023 using the Gujarati version of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire among the general population of urban and rural areas. Factor analysis was performed to check the model fit. Results: Factor analysis gave a five-factor structure, and the CFA suggested that the model was acceptable. Conclusion: Based on the findings, this model can better explain QOL and can be used as a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating QOL in the general population of Gujarat.

In this study, I examine how ‘ethnic’ trading networks are created and recreated, but may also fracture and fall apart. This occurred among some Indian groups in East Africa, who initially strengthened their economic and cultural ties with India by maintaining intensive trade relations and taking brides from the homeland. However, after just one generation, their economic focus was on East Africa, Japan and the UK. Many of today's well-off Indian businessmen in East Africa show little economic interest in India. In fact, Gujarati businessmen in East Africa created new, rather negative images of their counterparts in Gujarat. During the last century, their overall image of Indians in India was transformed from one of a ‘reliable family or community members’ to one of ‘unreliable, corrupt and, untrustworthy ‘others’.

Full textAbstract:
In 1543, a quarter century after the Ottoman conquest of the Holy Cities, the Meccan jurist, hadith scholar, and chronicler Jar Allah Muhammad Ibn Fahd (d. 1547) completed a short work devoted to the construction projects undertaken in the city by the Ottoman sultans Selim I (r. 1512–20) and his son Süleyman (r. 1520–66). The work is highly unusual from the perspective of the Arabic historiographical tradition and constitutes the first comprehensive response by an Arab chronicler to the emergence of an Ottoman imperial architectural idiom around the turn of the sixteenth century. The article situates Ibn Fahd and his work in three interrelated contexts: (a) the incorporation of Mecca and Medina into the Ottoman domains; (b) the emergence of an Ottoman architectural idiom and visual interest in the description of the Holy Sanctuaries across the Indian Ocean, from Istanbul to Gujarat; and (c) the competition between the new Custodians of the Two Holy Sanctuaries and other Islamic rulers, past and present. In particular, the article focuses on the challenges posed by the sultans of Gujarat, who were also quite interested in the Holy Sanctuaries. This interest is captured in Muhyi al-Din Lari’s (d. 1526–27) description of the pilgrimage and the Haramayn, which was written for the Gujarati sultan Muzaffar Shah II (r. 1511–26).

This article examines Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s hegemony in Gujarat by studying the changes inaugurated by the party in the caste profile of Gujarati political elites. I showcase the transition of BJP from a party of elite castes to a limited accommodation of a few Hindu backward castes, especially under Narendra Modi’s chief ministership. However, I argue that the recruitment of Hindu backward castes as ministers represents a case of superficial democratization as they were appointed in non-influential ministries or were co-opted only near election time. Indeed, Modi’s developmentalist regime solidified the dominance of upper castes and Patels from an urban background and a few Rajputs, and led to a rural backlash in the form of Patel agitation. In the final section, I analyse these still emerging trends in Gujarat’s polity, which became visible on a rural–urban continuum in the 2017 state election.

History pertaining to 19th century India has diverse strands running into different directions. These strands are also intertwined beautifully. History of science in India, history of textbook production and history of public instruction are a few of threads that bind 19th-century colonial history. It is hardly surprising that translation runs seamlessly through these strands. But its role has scarcely been analyzed in its true context. The paper attempts to unravel translation and its history concerning science texts translated from English into Gujarati. It aims at providing an overview of the kind of texts undertaken for translation, the translators who attempted it and the context wherein these translations occurred. The paper tries to articulate the significance that translation had for the history of science in India, history of textbook production, history of public instruction in 19th century Gujarat.

Bukti arkeologi meninggalkan jejak, termasuk jejak untuk menelusuri awal mula agama Islam masuk ke Indonesia, antara abad ke-7 hingga ke-8 Masehi. Arkeolog Uka Tjandrasasmita menegaskan pentingnya bukti-bukti arkeologi dalam karyanya ‘Arkeologi Islam Nusantara’. Dalam karya tersebut, Uka mengungkapkan data-data arkeologi baik berupa makam-makam batu nisan, pecahan keramik dan ragam hiasan maupun arsitektur bangunan keraton yang merupakan material penting sebagai sumber sejarah. Semua itu bisa dimanfaatkan untuk mengetahui dan merekonstruksi bagaimana kedatangan Islam ke Tanah Air. Misalnya, makam di Nusantara memiliki persamaan tulisan dengan makam Islam yang ada di Gujarat, India. Persamaan tersebut dapat ditemukan pada makam Malik Ibrahim dibuat tahun 1419 H di Gresik, Jawa Timur dan makam Samudra Pasai pada tahun 882 H. Makam-makam yang ada di Gujarat dan Tanah Air juga memiliki bahan baku yang sama yaitu batu pualam. Dengan adanya persamaan tersebut bisa disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang aktif, terutama hubungan dagang antara Gujarat, Samudra Pasai, dan Jawa Timur. Melalui perdagangan tercipta interaksi antara penduduk Tanah Air dan para pedagang Muslim dari Gujarat. Melalui interaksi ini juga para pedagang Muslim dari Gujarat tak hanya melakukan aktivitas dagang tetapi juga menyebarkan ajaran agama Islam di Tanah Air. Sejak zaman sebelum Islam Pelabuhan Banten merupakan Pelabuhan terpenting di tanah Sunda. Hal itu disebabkan oleh letak geografisnya yang berada di tengah-tengah teluk Banten dengan jaringan Sungai Cibanten dan beberapa anak sungainya. Faktor alamiah ini merupakan hal yang sangat menguntungkan bagi pihak yang mengelola pelabuhan para pedagang. Keadaan ini yang mengakibatkan Pelabuhan Banten menempatkan diri dalam dunia perdagangan internasional di Asia.[Archaeological evidence always leaves a trail, and these include traces to track earlier times when Islam arrived in Indonesia between the 7th and the 8th centuries (CE). Archaeologist Uka Tjandrasasmita stressed the importance of the archaeological pieces of evidence in his work ‘Archaeology of Islam Nusantara’, which reveals some archaeological data in tombs decorated with ceramic fragments and palace architecture, which were considered essential materials as historical sources. All of these can be used to find out and reconstruct how Islam came to Indonesia. For example. The tombs have the same writings as the Islamic tombs in Gujarat, India. The similarities are found in Malik Ibrahim’s tombs, created in 1419 H in Gresik, East Java, and the tomb of Samudra Pasai of Aceh in 882 H. The tombs in Gujarat and Indonesia have the same raw material made from marble. Given these facts, there is a historical relationship between Gujarat, India, and Indonesia, and this could happen due to trade relations between Gujarat and Samudra Pasai and East Jawa. Through trades, interactions between the Muslim traders of Gujarat and Muslim Indonesians took place, and through these interactions, Muslim Gujarati not only carried out trading activities but also spread the teachings of Islam in Indonesia. Some historical facts show that for a long, Banten Port had become the most important port in the land of Sunda. This is due to its geographical location is in the middle of Banten Bay connected with Cibanten River networking and some of its tributaries. This natural factor is very profitable for the Sultan in managing the trades. As a result, the Banten port played a significant role in international trade in Asia.]

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on how world literature played a crucial role in shaping a sub-national Gujarati identity. Narsinhrao Divatia (1859-1937) – the well-known Gujarati poet, critic and linguist presented partial or complete translations of British Romantic poets like Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley and Byron from the fourth part of F.T. Palgrave’s Golden Treasury (1861) in his seminal poetry anthology Kusummala (1887). This translation played a significant role in redefining Gujarati poetics and Gujarati identity. It also elevated the cultural status of Gujarati literature by introducing Sanskrit poetics in the Gujarati translations. However, in the Gujarati literary tradition, Divatia’s translations of the British Romantic poets are treated as ‘nakal’ (copy) and derivative of Western poetry. This paper argues that the Gujarati translations of the British Romantic poets in Kusummala (1887) cannot be dismissed as cheap copies, but have to be read as refractions, a kind of rewriting elaborated by André Lefevre. Kusummala is an example of an interliterary text where Gujarati translations of the British Romantic poets are mediated with the help of Sanskrit poetics. This paper also argues that the sub-national Gujarati identity goes beyond the dichotomy of Vishwa and Rashtra, as proposed by Vinay Dharwadker.

Initiated on 12th February 2018, Anganwadi centres (AWC) of Gujarat adapted the integrated child development services common application software (ICDS-CAS), for real time monitoring and record keeping, for Anganwadi workers (AWWs), Anganwadi supervisors (AWS) and the child development project officers (CDPO).This application was abruptly discontinued in September 2020 and replaced by ‘Poshan tracker’ ,a mobile based application, launched by the ministry of women and child development, government of India on 1st March 2021. Documentation of challenges and benefits due to shift to software-based record keeping system by frontline workers of ICDS in urban Gujarat. Informal meetings were held with stakeholders like the CDPO, AWS and AWWs to discuss the challenges faced due to digitalisation of record maintenance. We planned to conduct two focused group discussions (FGD) for the same purpose. FGDs were conducted at two different Anganwadi, within city corporation area. Audio recordings of both FGDs were repeatedly played and analysed to prepare qualitative report. ‘ICDS-CAS’ didn’t store older records so the AWWs had to refer to their older registers. The software was English based but AWWs preferred Gujarati(local) language. ‘Poshan tracker had no ‘auto-update’ and ‘delete’ option, to rectify inaccurate entries. One could easily view all the information in one glance. Software database had compiled data from anganwadi, removing the need for supervisors to separately contact each AWWs for an anganwadi data. It was concluded that elder AWWs preferred old register entry system, while the younger AWWs preferred the software data entry system.

Background: Vertigo, a sensation of dizziness and spinning, can occur in menopausal women due to hormonal changes. To measure these vertigo symptoms, a tool called the Vertigo Symptom Scales Short-form (VSS-SF) is commonly used. The VSS-SF is currently not available in Gujarati language so there is a need to develop a scale which can be used by the Gujarati language speaking population. Material & method: An observational study was conducted, translating the scale VSS-SF comprises 15 items, each scored on a 5-point scale (0–4) into Gujarati through double forward and backward translation. Experts scored each question as accepted or rejected. The finalized Gujarati version's reliability were assessed with a sample of 20 menopausal women. Result: Result calculated by using SPSS. The Gujarati version of the VSS-SF has high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.873). Conclusion: The translation of the VSS-SF into Gujarati successfully maintained the semantic and measurement properties of the original version. The resulting Gujarati version proved to be a valid and reliable scale for assessing vertigo symptoms in the Gujarati population. Keywords: VSS-sf, Menopausal women, Reliability, Validity

In order to create the Gujarati traditional snack Ganthiya with less oil, the production parameters were optimized and hydrophilic polymers and modified natural polysaccharides were used. For the goal of optimization, design expert software was utilized. Two processing variables, frying temperature and frying duration, were used to create ganthiya. Frying time ranged from 90 to 150 seconds and the lowest and maximum frying temperatures were 140 to 180 °C. All the trial were conducted in the campus of Food Technology College, SDAU, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat during 2020-2021. There were total four responses (moisture content, oil content, oil uptake ratio and overall acceptability). Ganthiya were developed using optimized conditions (180 0C of frying temperature and 90 seconds of frying time) and effect of carboxymethyl cellulose, methylcellulose, guar gum and gum tragacanth were observed in respect of oil uptake reduction in Ganthiya. A significant decrease in oil absorption was noted in 0.5% methyl cellulose, which was subsequently followed by 0.5% guar gum, 1% carboxymethyl cellulose, 0.5% gum tragacanth, and 0.75 % carboxymethyl cellulose added Ganthiya.

Background: The Short Form 36 Item Survey is the most typically used instrument for assessing health-related quality of life.1 Two identical versions of the initial instrument are currently available: the general public domain, license-free RAND-36, and also the commercial SF 36.2 RAND 36 don't seem to be available within the Gujarati language. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the RAND 36 into the Gujarati language and measure its reliability and validity. Methods: According to the guidelines by the International Quality of Life Assessment project, a test of item-scale correlation, a sequence of translation, and validation were implemented for the translation of the Gujarati version of the RAND-36. Following pilot testing, the English and the Gujarati versions of the RAND-36 were administered to a random sample of 120 apparently healthy individuals to test validity and 96 respondents completed the Gujarati RAND-36 again after two weeks to test reliability. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, multi-trait scaling analysis, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis, and Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) at p < 0.05 Results: The median Cronbach's alphas for the Gujarati RAND-36 in multiple subgroups exceeded 0.70 for every scale except one. Two of the English RAND-36 scales had median Cronbach's alphas that exceeded 0.70; the rest exceeded 0.50. Test-retest correlations were found statistically significant for both versions. Product-moment correlations to test the equivalence of the corresponding Gujarati and English versions of the RAND-36 ranged from 0.73 to 0.92. The Gujarati version of the RAND-36 has high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.809) and test-retest reliability (Intra-class correlation coefficient=0.746, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.94). Conclusions: The Gujarati version of the RAND-36 performed well and the findings suggest that it is a reliable and valid measure of health-related quality of life among the general Gujarati population. Keywords: RAND-36, cross-cultural translation, quality of life, health status assessment, Gujarati.

AbstractBackgroundThe insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.ObjectiveWe report the effects of total energy intake on the IGF system in two populations with markedly different dietary macronutrient intake and cardiovascular event rate.Design, subjects and settingDietary macronutrient intake was measured in a specific Gujarati migrant community in Sandwell, UK (n = 205) compared with people still resident in the same villages of origin in India (n = 246). Fasting IGF-I, IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-1 and IGFBP-3, insulin and glucose (0 and 2-hour) were measured.ResultsTotal energy and total fat intake were higher in UK migrants, as were IGFBP-3 and IGF-I (mean (95% confidence interval): 145.9 (138.1–153.6) vs. 100.9 (94.6–107.3) ng ml-1; F = 76.6, P < 0.001). IGFBP-1 was lower in UK migrants (29.5 (25.9–33.0) vs. 56.5 (50.6–62.5) μg l-1; F = 48.4, P < 0.001). At both sites, IGF-I correlated positively with total energy (Spearman's ρ = 0.45, P < 0.001) and total fat (ρ = 0.44, P < 0.001) as did IGFBP-3 with total energy (ρ = 0.21, P < 0.05) and fat (ρ = 0.26, P < 0.001). Conversely, in Indian Gujaratis, IGFBP-1 fell with increasing total energy (ρ = -0.27, P < 0.001) and fat intake (ρ = -0.26, P < 0.01) but not in UK Gujaratis. Multiple linear regression modelling showed that increasing quartiles of fat intake were associated with higher IGF-I (β = 0.42, P = 0.007) independent of age, body mass index, plasma insulin, fatty acids and 2-hour glucose.ConclusionIn these genetically similar groups, migration to the UK and adoption of a different diet is associated with marked changes in the IGF system, suggesting that environmental factors profoundly modulate serum concentrations and actions of IGFs.

International Journal of Health Sciences and Research 12, no. 8 (August 10, 2022): 35–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.52403/ijhsr.20220804.
Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Duruoz Hand Index (DHI) is a functional disability scale that can be used successfully to assess the functional disabilities of the hands. The hands are frequently involved in diabetic patients, due to soft tissue thickening in these areas referred to as atrophy, leading to wasting of the muscles. The DHI is currently not available in Gujarati language so there is a need to develop a scale which can be used by the Gujarati language speaking population. Materials & methods: An observational study was conducted in the Ahmedabad city. The scale was translated into Gujarati language through double forward and backward translation. Each question was scored by experts as accepted, rejected or accepted with modification. The reliability and validity of the finalized Gujarati version was subsequently completed with the sample size of 20 participants including both the genders in type II diabetes mellitus patients. Face and content validity along with internal consistency and test-retest reliability was also examined. Result: In the validation process of Gujarati version of DHI total 18 questions existed; one question was accepted with modification. The Gujarati version of the DHI has high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.890) and test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient=0.809, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.94). Conclusion: The translation of the DHI into a Gujarati version was successful in preserving the semantic and measurement properties of the original version and was valid and reliable scale for the Gujarati population. Key words: DHI, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Validity, Reliability.

Full textAbstract:
Optical character recognition (OCR) technologies have made significant progress in the field of language recognition. Gujarati is a more difficult language to recognize compared to other languages because of curves, close loops, the inclusion of modifiers, and the presence of joint characters. So great effort has been laid into the literature for Gujarati OCR. Recently deep learning-based CNN models are applied to develop OCR for different languages but Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models are not yet giving a satisfactory performance to recognize Gujarati characters. So, this paper proposes a revolutionary Gujarati printed characters and numerals recognition CNN models. CNN-PGC (CNN for - Printed Gujarati Character) and CNN-HGC (CNN for - Handwritten Gujarati Character) are two optimally configured Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) presented in this research for printed Gujarati base characters and handwritten numbers, respectively. Concerning particular performance indicators, the suggested work's performance is evaluated and proven against that of other traditional models and with the latest baseline methods. Experimental analysis has been carried out on well-segmented newly generated Gujarati base characters and numerals dataset which includes 36 consonants, 13 vowels, and 10 handwritten numerals. Variation in the database is also taken into consideration during experiments like size, skew, noise blue, etc. Even in the presence of printing irregularities, writing irregularities, and degradations the proposed method achieves a 98.08% recognition rate for print characters and a 95.24 % recognition rate for handwritten numerals which is better than other existing models.
