Read about Gujarati Culture and type out the one thing you find most interesting. Then Neel, Vishal and Anar will tell us if it's REALLY a part of Gujarati culture (there may be generalizations, like "All Americans watch baseball.")

Mrs. Slim: [] The culture is a bit more conservative than the rest of India, so there are not as many pubs and discos as the rest of India.

Period 0: Josh: The dominant religion throughout the land is Hindu, however, small populations of Muslims, Jains, and Parsis exist. []

Mauricio: MOONG DAL CHAKLI (Spicy Crunchy Spirals) is a very tasty food that is native to the Gujarati. []

Bhili, a language similar to Gujarati, is spoken by tribal groups in northern and eastern Gujarat. Gujarati is written in a cursive script. Many Gujaratis can also understand and speak Hindi. http://www.everyculture.com/wc/Germany-to-Jamaica/Gujaratis.html Allexis- http://www.indiaplaces.com/india-states/gujarat.html The population is 5,05,96,992.

Period 2: Megan: their language, gujarati is ancient. http://www.everyculture.com/wc/Germany-to-Jamaica/Gujaratis.html Anar - overall there are more than 25 languages spoken in India. But Gujarat itself has gujarati as a main language and lot other. The gujaratis are very religious. I am proud to be a gujarati because some of the world's richest men were born in Gujarat. Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance India, and his sons Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani. They once ranked 2nd richest men in the world. Gandhi was born in Gujarat. Zack: 0/5

Period 3: Farshad:I learned a lot about the gujrati culture, such as they are from the western region of India, they speak the language Gujrati, and Gujrati's are a very religious set of people. Kumail: Their language comes from the anciet language of Sanskrit, their are over 30 languages spoken in India, but Gujrati happens to be one of the most popular languages.
