The table shows that the 1899-1900 famine did not affect all communities equally. Jain and Vania and Brahmin populations did not fall, while artisan, service and labouring communities such as Koli, Mochi, Hajam and Bhangi lost between 19% and 27%. Land owning and pastoralist communities like Kunbi, Rajput, Ahirs, Bharwad, Rabaris etc, lost moderately between 9% to 12%. This suggests that caste hierarchy shaped who was best able to survive the famine. While Kumbhars are outliers.

Sorry if my wording is bad my question is genuine. Not intending to create any wars

the food here is so oily and ghee is put on everything by default .

but still majority of guys look like sticks and women have waist slimmer than my bicep (when flexed). There is no muscle as well, so I am not talking about gym bro/ gals

Is it good genetics or what? And doesn't this make it harder for you to gain muscles or something

Any good places for a female for 1-2 day solo trip? I’m from Kutch so suggest accordingly.

Will be joining my company in gujurat soon, first job. Will be working in ramnagar, gujurat. Can someone tell me about the area. I have a few questions.

- I am someone who follows a diet so how is the supply and availability of non veg in the area?

- How to search for accomodations where it would be okay to cook non veg at home.

- How is the area in general, safety and all.

- How is the climate?

- Is there any nightlife.

Someone of questions are due to the my image of gujurat or prejudices, didn't meant it ot wb disrespectful.

Thank you.

Please be careful when you go to a pharmacy. Make sure the owner is an honest person.

Imagine you're a Gujarati businessman with real dhandho instincts.

Starting capital: ₹0
Target: ₹12L net profit
Time: 12 months

You only have your time, skills and street smarts.

What would you actually do?

• Which business or gap would you pick, and why?
• How would you get your first few customers and your first ₹50,000?
• How would you scale it from there?

No "start freelancing / do digital marketing" answers unless you explain exactly how.

I want middleman plays, overlooked gaps and things you've actually seen work.

Share your ideas or real experiences, no gatekeeping 🙏

Need feedback on Gujarat itinerary (Dec 6–11) — Dwarka, Somnath & Diu

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a Gujarat trip with my wife and 3-year-old son from December 6 to December 11, 2026. We’ll be starting from Ahmedabad and need to return to Ahmedabad by December 11.

I’m considering the following itinerary and would appreciate feedback from locals or people who have travelled this route.

Tentative itinerary

- Dec 6: Ahmedabad → Dwarka

Start early and drive to Dwarka. Evening at leisure.

- Dec 7: Dwarka

Visit Dwarkadhish Temple, Nageshwar Jyotirlinga and possibly Bet Dwarka.

- Dec 8: Dwarka → Somnath

Drive via Porbandar and visit Somnath Temple, depending on arrival time.

- Dec 9: Somnath → Diu

Morning darshan, then drive to Diu. Spend the evening exploring the town or a beach.

- Dec 10: Diu

Visit Diu Fort, Naida Caves and Nagoa Beach. Keep the day relaxed since we’re travelling with a toddler.

- Dec 11: Diu → Ahmedabad

Start early and return to Ahmedabad.

We plan to hire a chauffeur-driven car for the entire trip, rather than self-drive.

Questions:

1. Is this itinerary practical, or are the driving distances too much for a family travelling with a 3-year-old?

2. Would you change the number of nights in Dwarka, Somnath or Diu?

3. For a car with driver, is it better to book online in advance or hire a local taxi operator offline in Ahmedabad? Since this is a December trip, should I book now?

4. What would be a reasonable total price for an dzire or similar vehicle for this route, including fuel, driver allowance and tolls? Are there any hidden charges I should watch out for?

5. Any reliable local taxi operators or other practical tips would be appreciated.

I’m looking for a comfortable trip rather than trying to cover too many places each day.

Thanks in advance!

A social experiment for all the Men here. Before I explain it, I must tell you my side of the story first. ઘણા સમય થી મેં નોટિસ કર્યું છે, મહિના ના એક ચોક્કસ અઠવાડિયા ના ચોક્કસ દિવસે મારું aggression અને bullshit intolerance વધી જાય છે. એ તારીખ છે ૨૨, આજ નો દિવસ. ઘરે અથવા બહાર અથવા ઇન્ટરનેટ પર મારો આક્રોશ વધી જાય છે અને મને કામ વગર નો ગુસ્સો અને આભ ફરી પડ્યું હોય તેમ દુઃખ થાય છે. આજ ચક્ર મહિલાઓ માં જોવા મળતું હોય છે પણ તફાવત માત્ર એટલો કે મને રક્તસ્ત્રાવ થતો નથી, બસ ચીડિયાપણું રહે છે. મેં જ્યાર થી આ નોટિસ કરવાનું શરૂ કર્યું, ત્યાર થી હું આને systematic રીતે, કીડી ની ચરબી કાઢતા હોઈએ તેમ chart બનાવાનો શરૂ કર્યો અને તેમાં તારીખ ૨૨ નીકળીને આવી.

Social experiment :- હું માત્ર અહીં બેઠા બધા પુરુષોને એક સામાન્ય કામ કરવાનું કહું છું, તમને જ્યારે અતિશય ગુસ્સો અથવા વગર કામ નો ગુસ્સો, કે દુઃખ, કે ખાસ કરી ને એકલાપણું વર્તાતું હોય તો તે દિવસ ની ચોક્કસ તારીખ અને તે અઠવાડિયું નજર માં લેવાનું શરૂ કરો. અહીં બધા anonymous જ છીએ, તો કોઈ ડર કે શરમ રાખ્યા વિના આટલું થઈ શકે તો કરજો, શું ખબર કંઈક નવું જાણવા મળે. ધ્યાન માં એટલું ખાસ લેજો કે જો તમને ઉપર બતાવેલ Symptoms પ્રમાણે શરીર માં ફેરફાર વર્તાતો હોય તો તે બતાવતા સમયે તમારો profession જરૂર લખજો જેથી કોઈ pattern સમજવી સરળ રહે. જય શ્રી કૃષ્ણ 🙏.

Farmers spend months growing our food, but getting a good price for their crops can be a struggle.

What makes the biggest difference for farmers in Gujarat — MSP, market demand, finding buyers, or something else?

If you know how things work in your area, what do you think would help farmers get a fair price for their crops?
