مردم گجراتی (انگلیسی: Gujarati people) یا گجراتی‌ها گروه قومی-زبانی هندوآریایی هستند که ریشه دودمان یا پیشینه آنها به ناحیه ای از شبه‌قاره هند که به‌طور عمده بر حول ایالت گجرات در غرب هند کنونی، بازمی‌گردد یا اینکه ساکن آنجا هستند. آنها به‌طور عمده به زبان گجراتی، یک زبان هندوآریایی صحبت می‌کنند. در حالیکه گجراتی‌ها بیشتر در گجرات ساکن هستند، بخشی از آنها در سراسر جهان به صورت پراکنده زندگی می‌کنند. گجراتی‌های داخل هند و جماعت پراکنده آنها در سرتاسر جهان، کارآفرینان و کارخانه دار برجسته ای هستند و سرمایه اجتماعی بالا را تداوم می‌بخشند.[۱۳] بسیاری از فعالان استقلال‌طلبی همچون مهاتما گاندی، محمد علی جناح و والابای پاتل گجراتی بودند.[۱۴][۱۵][۱۶][۱۷]

موقعیت‌های جغرافیایی[ویرایش]

با وجود مهاجرت‌های قابل توجهی که به‌طور عمده به دلایل اقتصادی صورت گرفته‌است، بیشتر گجراتی‌های هند در ایالت گجرات در غرب هند زندگی می‌کنند.[۱۸] گجراتی‌ها همچنین بخش قابل توجهی از جمعیت را در کلان‌شهر بمبئی که در جوار ایالت قرار داشته و قلمرو اتحادیه دادرا و نگر حویلی و دامان و دیو، مایملک استعماری سابق پرتغال، را تشکیل می‌دهند.[۱۹] جوامع مهاجر بسیار بزرگی از گجراتی‌ها در مناطق دیگری از هند، به خصوص در بمبئی،[۲۰] پونه، دهلی، کلکته، چنای، بنگلور[۲۱] و شهرهای دیگر مانند کوچی وجود دارند.[۲۲][۲۳] در طول تاریخ،[۲۴] گجراتی‌ها به عنوان بزرگ‌ترین تاجران، کارخانه داران و کارآفرینان کسب و کار هند، شهرت پیدا کرده‌اند[۲۵] و بدین ترتیب در صدر مهاجران به سراسر دنیا قرار داشته‌اند، به ویژه در نواحی همچون فیجی، هنگ کنگ، مالایا، شرق آفریقا و آفریقای جنوبی که بخشی از امپراتوری بریتانیا بودند.[۲۶] قدمت شبکه فرامرزی و جوامع دور از وطن گجراتی در بسیاری از این کشورها به بیش از یک قرن بازمی‌گردد.[۲۷][۲۸] در دهه‌های اخیر، شمار بیشتری از گجراتی‌ها به کشورهای انگلیسی-زبان همچون بریتانیا، استرالیا، نیوزیلند، کانادا و ایالات متحده آمریکا مهاجرت کرده‌اند.[۲۹][۳۰]

Temple building is a sign of the growth in numbers and the increased prosperity of the Gujarati immigrants...The two decades between 1950 and 1969 were a heady period of success for the Gujaratis of East Africa... Michael Lyon observed that the Gujaratis acquired a new role in the colonial economics of East Africa, and ultimately a tragic one. They became a privileged racial estate under British protection. The Indian population in Kenya increased from 43,625 in 1931 to 176,613 in 1962... More than 80 percent were Gujaratis.

Oman's capital Muscat was the first home for Gujarati traders away from the subcontinent. The Bhatia community from Kutch was the first among all Gujaratis to settle overseas — relocating to Muscat as early as 1507! The Bhatias' settlement in the Gulf is emphasized by Hindu places of worship, seen there since the 16th century. As historian Makrand Mehta asserts, "Business and culture go together."

The Hindus in Great Lisbon have similarities with Hindus in the United Kingdom: they are mostly from a Gujarati background and migrated from ex-colonial countries. Yet the colonial system they came from was mostly Portuguese, both in India and in East Africa... Nevertheless, a realistic estimate is that there are about 30,000 Hindus in Portugal. That includes Hindu-Gujaratis, who migrated in the early 1980s, as well as Hindu migrants from all parts of India and Bangladesh, who migrated in the late 1990s. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

Gujarat has a very strong history of migration. The ancient Gujaratis were known for their trading with other countries. The Mercantile caste of western India, including Gujarat, has participated in overseas trade for many centuries and, as new opportunities arose in different parts of the British Empire, they were among the first to emigrate... The Gujarati Diaspora community is well known for their legendary entrepreneurship.

Modern-day Mumbai is the capital of the state of Maharashtra, but until the creation of this state in 1960 the city has always been as closely linked to Gujarati culture as it has been to Marathi culture. During most of the colonial period, Gujaratis held the preponderance of economic and political power.

The Gujarat region situated in the western part of India is known for its business activities since ancient times.

Commending them for their skills in the currency business he states that he saw some 15000 banians in Ispahan, the capital of Persia operating exclusively as money-lenders and sharafs. He compared them with the Jews of Turkey and pointed out that they had their own residential settlements at Basra and Ormuz where they had constructed their temples.

Most historians, even those who have sought to move away from the narratives furnished by the framework of colonial knowledge, are unable to begin their narrative of the Indian diaspora before the nineteenth century, but the Gujaratis had justly established a diasporic presence in the early part of the second millennium. So renowned had the Gujaratis become for their entrepreneurial spirit, commercial networks, and business acumen that a bill of credit issued by a Gujarati merchant would be honored as far as 5,000 miles away merely on the strength of the community's business reputation. They traversed the vast spaces of the Indian Ocean world with confidence, and a Gujarati pilot guided Vasco da Gama's ship to India... Under Portuguese rule, the Indian Ocean trading system went into precipitous decline, and not until the nineteenth century did the Gujarati diaspora find a new lease of life. Gujarati traders migrated under the British dispensation in large numbers to Kenya, Tanganyika, South Africa, and Fiji, among other places, and Mohandas Gandhi, himself a Gujarati, has recorded that the early political proceedings of the Indian community in South Africa were conducted in the Gujarati language. In East Africa their presence was so prominent that banknotes in Kenya, before the country acquired independence, had inscriptions in Gujarati. Khojas, or Gujarati Ismailis, flourished and even occupied positions as teachers and educators in Muslim countries around the world.

In the Indian case, though organizational arrangements encourage U.S. and sending-country involvements, and the community displays high levels of economic and political integration, the goals of participation in home-country groups, the requirements of membership, and the insular social milieu in which participation occurs, reinforces homeland ties. Gujaratis may become the most transnational of groups because they assimilate selectively into the U.S. and maintain strong sending-country attachments
