What is the capital of the Indian state of Gujarat?

Historically, the state of Gujarat has been one of the main centers of the Indus Valley Civilization. Population in Gujarat is 67 million. Ahmedabad and Surat are cities in Gujarat and are some of the fastest growing cities in the world. Hinduism is the major religion of the state, as about 89% population of the state is Hindu. Gandhi was born and raised in Gujarat. Freddie Mercury's family is from Gujarat. Most common surnames in Gujarat are Patel, Shah, Mehta, Desai, Parikh, and Modi.

With all due respect to the very many intelligent, well educated, positive and always keen-to-learn Americans, I would have put good money on where you come from recordpete. Time and again folk like you come out with these pathetic attitudes. Get a passport and travel outside your home state. There’s a fabulous world out here- with history and culture too. You sad git.

recordpete, or people who read, travel or take an interest in matters outside their immediate purview

The idea of naming the city in honor of Mahatma Gandhi, was admirable on his behalf, for what he contributed to the country of India.

anthonygriffin, I totally agree that it was an honor that was well deserved.
