Kutch and KutchisVibrant and Aspiring

COMMENT

Imagine for a moment that a man from Mars has landed in Kutch after 14 years.

Perhaps he will be confused if not flabbergasted. Such is the enormous change- something for better all over the Kutch. Second largest district in India (the first being the Ladakh in the State of Jammu and Kashmir) has transformed beyond recognition.

A large part of Kutch is occupied by desserts. The small fertile part has always done well in agriculture over the centuries.

The lack of local transport communications, portable water and other facilities like electricity etc restricted the development of Kutch for long. That was suddenly changed on 26th January 2001.

On India's Republic day a massive earthquake struck Kutch. Some 12,000 humans lost their lives. The damage was so huge that many thought that Kutch, which has been devastated by earthquakes before, has been hit beyond repairs or regeneration. Today Kutch has got a very active and vigorous modern industries in mining, power generation, private ports and other engineering products as well as a thriving agriculture and agro-industries. The Rannotsav, festival of dessert is now so renowned that thousands of visitors both from India and abroad make a beeline for that moonlit festival over the white sands of a beautiful Kutch.

Of course the unbelievable developments took place with the incentive package of the then BJP led NDA government and especially a push further by the commitment and enthusiasm of Shri Narendrabhai Modi, who played a big role as the Chief Minister of Gujarat between 2002-2014.

If Kutchis can create such a modern Kutch in their ancestral homes, they do not lie low in Great Britain, where in every walk of progress they are in the forefront. The traditional expertise and skills of the Kutchis were very largely confined to the construction, retail and wholesale trading, not only in UK, but in several countries that they have settled. Now Kutchis are everywhere.

In UK proportionately a modest number of such energetic British Indians have and are making their marks in higher education, professions as well as several sectors of "New Industries".

Following in the footsteps of a very popular and useful 'Asanjo Kutch' special, some 2 years ago, by public demand, we have more contents in English for obvious reasons. I am grateful to all the writers, and supporters who have enabled us to present this informative and inspiring special issue.

I really appreciate the hard work of Sales Executive Daxaben Gami (herself a Kutchi), Advertising Manager Kishorbhai Parmar and other colleagues in the Sales and Marketing department, Rupanjana Dutta, Associate Editor and Kokilaben Patel, Managing Editor from the UK, K K Joseph, News Editor and the team led by Bureau Chief Nileshbhai Parmar in India, Ajay Kumar and Arvind Rajput from Graphics.

‘Kutch, Kutchi and Kutchiyat’ (Saurashtra on its hue in Winter; so as Gujarat during Summer, Woods go high in Monsoon but my Kutch remains stunning forever)

O

nce former British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone was on a visit to Oxford University, where he proudly asked a Kutchi-born Gujarati student if the Indians were very happy under the British Empire. To this question of slavery, he literally boiled over and straightforwardly replied, “yes Sir!, Though we’ve been surely freed from the oppression and harassment of the ruling Nawabs and Kings, yet they never did seize our livelihood.”

Such a bold student who straight away countered the most powerful personality was none other than late Shyamji Krushna Verma; a renowned Sanskrit scholar and freedom fighter who was born on 8th October, 1857 at Mandvi in Kutch. And when it comes to freedom fighters, can Mahatma Gandhi be far behind? In fact, during his maiden visit to the then emperor Khengarji in Kutch, he did portray 4

Asian Voice & Gujarat Samachar - 2014

the value of ‘Kutch, Kutchi and Katchiyat’. Add to more, the last emperor late Madansinhji, who was also the first ambassador to Norway; in his ‘ Vatanano Vartalap’ book illustrated about Mahatma Gandhi’s visit to Kutch in the year 1925. Mahatma Gandhi was literally so touched having had visited this land that he had expressed his happiness in the 'Navjivan’ weekly dated 15th November 1925, published under his headship. It read, “Visiting Kutch is an invaluable experience in my life. I’ve no feeling now except the sheer pleasure I’ve felt while travelling across Kutch. It was all my pleasure to learn that the Kutchi people have wholeheartedly given helping hands to my mission.”

Thus, Kutch is such a boastful chapter of Gujarat’s incredible history and so as its people; full of love and audacity.

What does Kutch mean?

Kutch means bait in Sanskrit. The earth is believed to have evolved about 6 billion years ago.

Subsequently, the land areas of Kutch started coming out of the sea;

initially there emerged only mainland of Kutch followed by some islands. Finally, about 5,000 years later, the present territory of the Kutch came into existence.

The Kutchi culture and civilisation dates back to age old centuries.

It is believed that the origin of our national calendar (Vikram Samvant) is based on ‘Saka’ Calendar of the king ‘ Shalivahana’ of ‘Saka’ tribe (78 AD) who had their roots in Greece, as per the remnants found during excavation in Kutch. Kutch therefore holds an incredible value in Indian history and culture.

However, the proper spread of the Vikram Samvant was particularly carried out by the Solanki dynasty. The ‘ Ashadhadi’ is considered as a new year of Kutchi Viram Samvant which typically starts four month earlier than the rest of the regions of Gujarat.

It can be said that the royal Jadeja tribe ruled Kutch for over 400 years. But thankfully, with the dynamic endeavours of Gujarat’s heroic son Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Kutch voluntarily joined the Indian union as a part of the central gov-

ernment. Over and above, the rein of the royals of Kutch had also passed through quite a lot of ups and downs due to Kutch’s geological imbalance viz. less rain and permanent drought-like situation.

Perhaps, owing to such circumstances, the Kutchi people have become rather audacious, well-built and kind.

According to a book, ‘Shruti ane Smurti’ by Kundanlal Dholkia, the local self-governing bodies were evolved in the year 1871 and the first ever constitutional election was held in 1945 wherein as many as seven committees were formed such as Bhuj, Anjar, Mundra, Mandvi, Bhachau and Jakhau.

After independence, Kutch was conferred with C-class state. In 1950, Bhuj, Mandvi, Anjar and Mundra were given the municipal corporation status and thereafter, in accordance with the right to election, the first election was held in Kutch.

On 1st November1956, Kutch was merged into Mumbai state.

However, later on 1st May 1960, the Mumbai state was divided; leading Kutch to become one of the districts of Gujarat. Presently, there are 10 talukas of Kutch district like Bhuj,

6

Asian Voice & Gujarat Samachar - 2014

Mandvi, Mundra, Anjar, Bhachau, Rapar, Gandhidham, Nakhatrana, Abdasa and Lakhpat wherein there are seven municipalities, 149 taluka panchayats and about 613 Gram Panchayats working to propel the development of Kutch.

The Kutchi Freedom Fighters The Kutchi people never did lag behind in freedom struggle. In what can be touted as one of the most significant movements by Bapu, the Dandi March (1930), many Kutchi freedom fighters like Jayantibhai Parekh, Jethalal Ruparel, Dungarshibhai, Narayanjibhai Thakkar, Prithvirajbhai Asar, Maganbhai Vora and Madhavjibhai Thakkar enthusiastically participated. Apart from these, Vithhaldas Chandan, basically from Nakhatrana taluka, while revolting against the Britishers sacrificed his life for the nation and he was the one who was honoured as the first martyr in Mumbai.

In the same way, during the movements such as, ‘Simon Go Back’ and ‘ Do or Die’, the Kutchi

state convention was formed on 22 October, 1926. Bhadreshwar from Mundra taluka and Yusuf Maher Ali were put behind bars for taking part in the movements. The other freedom fighters include Gandhian leader Mavjibhai Vede, Gijubhai Badheka, Ratubhai Adani, Ismail Nagori, Kamas and Shah Dard, Gulabsankar Dholakia. On the top of this, there were also a number of brave women who joined freedom struggle like Ramiben Ranchhoddas, Motiben Muljibhai Vakil, Jyotsanaben Kulshankar Pattali, Babiben Muljibhai Dayal, Mudrikaben Anjaria and Godawariben Thakkar.

Many Kutchi journalists like Dayaram Depala (Kutchi Samachar’‘Katchi Dhol’), Chatrabhuj Bhatt (‘Kutchi’), Ravajibhai Shah (‘Kutch Kesari’), Pranlal Shah (‘Jagrut Kutch’) and Chhaganlal Mehta (‘Kutch Vartman’) with the help of their stirring columns contributed to nation’s freedom struggle that can’t be ever missed out.

Kutch: A permanent Address of Gujarat’s Prestige Kutch is synonymous with hard work, handicraft, opulence and arts and Kutchi people are full of courage, ethics and statesmanship.

Its vibrant art and craft heritage will leave any beholder spellbound.

Interestingly, different Kutchi communities like Ahir, Rabari, Rajput, Jat, Sodhaand Banniyaro have their very unique handicrafts that include Mochi embroidery, Banni embroidery, Mahajan embroidery, Ahir embroidery, Kanabi and Rabari embroidery.

The Banni Muslim women’s exquisite arti facts are truly not less than any masterpieces. The Kutchi work of art does elegantly add value to the home décor items, furniture, clothing and not to mention jewellery and an array of ornamental works.

Away from hullabaloo of urban living, amid serenity and picturesque setting, there takes place a range of invaluable creations in the form of handicrafts.

Mrs. Chandaben Shroff, a founder of an organisation called , ‘Shrujan’ said, “we’re on the go to establishing a museum aimed at encouraging and preserving Kutchi handicrafts which will be called, 'Living and Learning Design Centre’. This will even inspire the next generation about the

Kutchi object d’art.”

In short, with their embroidery, daubing skills, paintings, sculptures and many more exceptional arts have given them completely new recognition in the world of arts.

Kutch: An Incredible Travellers’ Destination Well, it seems as if even God is taking a toll on this land; which can be seen during a horrific earthquake on 16th June 1819 that had diverted the river Sindhu towards Pakistan.

Then the second shattering earthquake on 21st July 1956 and who would ever forget the massive tremor that had completely shook this land on 26th January, 2001?

But hang on! The God has equally blessed this land as well by besting

courage and faith in its core like that of Japanese Samurai that enabled Kutch to recover against all adversities with a miraculous jump start.

Perhaps, this is the reason why about 5,000 year old remnants of Harrapan civilization situated at Dholavira were remained unaffected. However, according to a wellrenowned architect David Kardose these structures still stand stall due to their elasticity features.

Geographical imbalances and submerged characteristics of this land never failed to attract tens of thousands of tourists as it is also blessed with abundant nature.

Kutch is a mineral rich land with beautiful desert areas and amazing hill ranges.

Mandir, Suryamandir adjacent to Habay Hill, Kera, Kotach, Puareshwar, Bhuvad’s Shivmandir, structures of Kathkot, Solthambi mosque (Bhadreswar), Narayan and Hamiras lakes, Mata no Madh, Tomb of Jesal-Toral, Hajipir, Bhadreshwar Vasai Jain shrine, Kutch museum, Ayana palace, Bhujio Fort, Abadasa Panchtirthi, Mosque of Mohammed Panni, Banni’s birds sanctuary and Rannotsav are among the famous spots usually visited by tourists from around the world. A renowned historian, writer Dolat Bhatt says, “this land had passed through many adversities, yet courage and kindness is a unique recognition it has.”

Kutch: An Ever-flowing Stream of Literature and Music Ever since the first rein of Rajavi Maharav to the last Rajavi Madansinhji, Kutch has always enriched the world with its unique music, literature and sculptures. In a deepotsavi issue of a weekly, ‘Gujarati’ (1911), Maharav Lakhpatji’s works of literature were appreciated that truly showcased his immense love for literature. Thanks to such literature aficionados that had had great influence on this land which has produced many eminent personalities in the field of music and literature that include Khimaji Hirji Kayani, Chatrabhuj Bhatt, Kantiprasad Antani, Gokuldas Khimaji, Gulab Shankar Dholakia, Rasiklal Joshi, Jamanadas Gandhi, Pranlal Mehta, Saint Devasaheb, Saint Bihari Dasji and Ishwarram.

Poets like Keshavji, Raghavji, Niranjanji and famed novelist is Narayan Visatji. The famous musicians of this land include Pandit Parimalji and Sindhi Bhaishree Pratapji among other who have literally put in souls to the beauty of Kutch.

The detailed information about such personalities can be availed in the works of Jayant Khatri (19091968) and the then chief of planning commission KT Shah (18881953). Similarly, in a book titled, ‘ Kutch na Jyotirdharo’ by Dr Govardhan Verma and Dr Bhavanaben Mehta, memoirs of the 10

Asian Voice & Gujarat Samachar - 2014

other famous creators of literature have been beautifully depicted; those include Lakho Kunali, Danvanta Jagdusa, Ghoramnath, scientist Jaykrushna Indraji, renowned Sanskrit scholar and revolutionary Shyamji Krushna Verma, Haji Mohammed Allarakhia, Saint Mekrandada, Maharav Lakhpatji, Ramsinh Malam, Fatehmamad Jamadar and Sundarji Sodagar.

Kutch is the largest district with 45,652 square km which includes over 1,000 villages having a total literacy rate of 52 per cent. Gujarati, Sindhi and Kutchi are the main languages here, however the value of Kutchi language has always remained on the top whose instances can be traced into a range of stanzas. ‘Bruhad Katchi, dictionary created by Prataprai Trivedi is certainly a great possession for the language lovers. Kutchi ancient literature treasures folk stories, dramas, Duha, Kafi, Pironi, Folk songs, Sonnets, and Wedding songs,

among others. The collection of all such treasures of literature was published for the first time in 1872 in a book titled ‘Katchi vato and Prem kathoa’ by Jivram Ajaramar Gaur and Faramji Basamji Master. And when it comes to modern literature, the names like Dulerai Karani for his songs and Gazals and Kunjalji Kunkar for publishing a magazine in a very own Kutchi language should not be missed!

Well-known duo ‘Kutchi Brothers’ Kalyanji and Anandji who have spread their musical magic in more than 125 films are the famous music composers whose work in, ‘Mera Jivan Kora Kagaz’ was conferred with a Filmfare Award in a category of best song in 1973.

Hence, Kutch has always been a rich land of literature, whose genres have also been widely adopted in many form of literature, thereby enhancing the beauty of the region.

Such is the beauty of Kutch, quite personal but closer to many hearts; landmarked history and full of unique natural splendour. And this is the reason why every Kutchi residing across foreign lands never overlooks to cherish their unique heritage. They always stand up for preserving their very own land beyond a shadow of doubt. Thus, they make this phrase, ‘ Kutch, Kutchi and Katchiyat’ true to its meaning. Kutch is too immense to describe in words and may God will forever bless this land with good fortune.

From the bottom of my heart, I bow in the respect of my motherland ‘Kutch’!

Major tourist spots in Kutch

Kutch is the largest district in Gujarat and the second largest district in India. Kutch literally means something which intermittently become wet and dry. Kutch has a number of tourist spots. Following are some of them.

Narayan Sarovar

Narayan Sarovar is a beautiful area with multiple fresh lakes close to Gulf of Kutch, which is also considered as holy place by Hindus.

Pindoria Solicitors

The largest Kutchi law firm in the world

Rupanjana Dutta

B

harat Pindoria is a household name in the Kutchi community, having established the largest Kutchi law firm in the world.

Born in East London to Jethalal Harji Pindoria, a carpenter by profession and Amratben Pindoria, Bharat is a self-confident, ambitious person. Growing up in Woolwich, South East London, he developed a deep attachment to the Gujarati community, becoming more and more aware of his roots.

Both his parents originate from the Madhapar (nava-vas) gaam in Kutch just next to the district capital Bhuj.

As a bright but unassuming child, he was the first one to go to University in the family, and completed his LLM with flying colours, from the prestigious London School of Economics. He then went to become the first Kutchi practising barrister in the UK after being Called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1993.

Despite completing pupilage at the Chancery Bar, he took up a lucrative position in the area of Capital Market at Freshfields, a magic circle law firm, and then in a couple of years moved to Wilde Sapte, one of the largest banking law firms in the country. Deeply associated with the community and influenced by the late Councillor Kantaben Patel's social work for the Gujarati community in Greenwich in 1990s, he worked as an Advice officer at the Greenwich Gujarati Samaj. He was introduced to CB Patel, Publisher/Editor of the Asian Voice and Gujarat Samachar in 1993 by Kantaben.

A family man, with outstanding business accomplishments, val-

Bharat Pindoria

ues and ethos, this prosperous solicitor believes greatly in giving back to the community, subscribing to the worthy concept of sewa and therefore acts for most of the Swaminarayan temples in the UK. Earlier this year, he raised over £5000 for St Lukes Hospice Kenton by skydiving from over 13000 ft.

Bharat went on to establish Pindoria Solicitors from his home in 2004. Speaking about starting his own firm, he went on to say, “I am very proud of my Kutchi and Gujarati roots and background.

Hence I chose the name of Pindoria Solicitors over an English name.”

Pindoria Solicitors, now celebrating its 10th year, strive to offer outstanding legal advice providing creative legal solutions for clients’ for their business or personal affairs. Based in Stanmore, North West London the firm has a team of high quality dedicated lawyers with expertise, to name some, in conveyancing, wills, probate, family matters and civil litigation with clients all around the world including international banks and foreign Governments.

“Pindoria Solicitors would not

have been able to expand and continue to grow vertically without the Gujarati communities continuous support. We have established an excellent reputation for trust and quality legal services in our community. We want to continue to provide this service to our clients without compromising on the quality, ethics and professionalism that are core to our firms values,” he added.

Bharat intends to push Pindoria Solicitors to higher and greater things. They are moving ahead of other Asian law firms with a highly focused branding campaign. Their radio and TV adverts on the Asian media have quickly given them instant brand recognition in the Asian community.

Though a strong supporter of hard work with a can do attitude, he does not owe every bit of his prosperity to just skills and business acumen. He thinks a lot of his success has been possible because of his Swaminarayan Hindu faith and family. Speaking about which, Bharat added with a smile, “My wife, Dipa, fortunately keeps a tight rein on everything. And now my two children the future generations of our community, Kushil and Jia, also like to provide their opinion over the breakfast table. That helps me to see things in a different light and from a completely new perspective.”

KK Patel and KBMD

w w w. a b p lg ro u p. c o m

Inspiring generations of Kutchis in Britain Rupanjana Dutta

K

K Patel, the founder, Chairman and Managing Director of KBMD, like most Kutchis, ventured out to the sea at the age of 10. He did not know a word of English, but thanks to his brother Premjibhai’s hard training, he was able to get admission in the famous Alidina Visram High School. He went to Mumbai to do Bachelor of Commerce from Sydenham College and he migrated to Britain in 1974.

He found his first job as an accounts clerk with a friend's help. Having worked his way up in the accounts team, to be the cost and financial

on Ealing Road. He met a community leader and a very successful international businessman at the inaugural party of his practice. KK asked him for his reasons for success. The gentleman told him three things which KK has imbibed in his mind forever. He said, firstly, you work diligently, giving top rate service to clients, secondly, he said, you must not hesitate to charge your reasonable fees for your work and thirdly, have full faith in God. In 1996, KK ended the partnership and with the assistance of his elder son, who was studying ACCA at that time, opened his sole practice in January 1996 with the

Padmini Vaghjiani, Reshma Kanbi, Bhavesh Bhudia, K K Patel, Neelam Patel, Alpesh Hirani, Ramesh Hirani and Sapna Patel

accountant in six years, KK found the next challenge as an internal auditor with an import and export company. He set up the internal control systems and recruited the full team of accounts staff, worked for six years for the Group, before he realised that the challenge was not there anymore. He decided to start his own business.

In 1986, KK started working freelance as an accountant. Work was difficult to come by. He approached local shopkeepers for accounts work. Some were surprised that a Kutchi can be an accountant. In 1992, he went in partnership and opened his practice as Chartered Certified accountant 20

Asian Voice & Gujarat Samachar - 2014

motto 'client is king'. The country was then in deep recession and trades were closing down on a daily basis. Some friends were surprised at KK’s decision to venture out alone at such a precarious time. KK was, by nature, always an adventurous character. There were no wages for KK or his son. At this point in time, KK’s wife, who had already been a massive support all along, came to the rescue. She went out and found a job to keep the finances going.

Gradually, the effects of the principles that KBMD had put in place, started to bear fruit. The clients started to come slowly.

Without any advertising or marketing, the database was

growing, more due to word of mouth publicity from satisfied clients and with the blessings of God. It was a blessing in disguise that soon after KBMD acquired the freehold premises at 382 Kenton Road, the Harrow Temple moved to a local transport yard, just opposite their office. The family stood together in difficult times, foregoing all unnecessary expenditure or holidays.

The first 10 years of the practice brought in clients from all over the world. In order to be able to service these clients, KBMD recruited some bright university graduates and KK himself would train them to pass all their exams at first attempt. It was due to their passing exam at first attempt that ACCA awarded KBMD the Silver Level of ACCA Approved Employer for training ACCA trainees and members to qualify as accountants and obtain the Practising Certificate.

KBMD has a large clientele ranging from sole traders, partnerships, limited companies, PLCs and LLPs. It has a very wide range of clients from flight training academies, small aircraft flying schools, doctors, care homes for the elderly, nursing homes, Bollywood actors, pharmacies, independent financial advisors, solicitors, letting agencies, nonresident landlords, project developers, restaurants and Indian clubs, takeaways, vehicle hire firms, motor garages, building contractors, IT contractors, hair and beauty salons, Subways, air cargo handlers, DIY merchants, Indian supermarkets, children nurseries to architects and interior designers and much more.

KBMD is also a registered auditor and provides auditing services to charities, construction sector, leasing rental companies and a few others. The staff that deals with audits has undergone training with one of the top 5 audit firms before joining KBMD. The firm

20-21.qxp_A4 Temp 01/12/2014 18:15 Page 21

www.abplgroup.com

provides a one stop service including company formations, assistance with opening bank accounts, VAT registration, and advice on keeping proper business records, book keeping, VAT, accounts and personal tax returns, all at reasonable and affordable prices. In the future, KMBD inspires to acquire small practices and expand its audit and accounting practice. Keeping his trade and profession in mind, KK has organised several seminars and has spoken on various aspects of taxation. In due course he has realised that many accountants do not regard payroll function as rewarding. The clients do not appreciate the service and do not want to do it themselves either. KK saw this as an opportunity to make it attractive to clients. With a motto 'on time- every time', he set up a payroll agency- Express Payroll, a bureau, to serve KBMD clients and non-clients. This was set up as a separate entity to provide a 24/7, affordable, total payroll service. The charges range from £1.00 per

payslip, depending on the number of employees on payroll.

After establishing KBMD brand as a success, KK ventured into woodwork joinery. His Company, Projectwood Limited, is known as ‘Tailors of wood’. The business undertakes all kinds on joinery work at the top end of the market, producing a high quality finish.

Dhiresh and Mayur, KK’s two sons, run the business from Perivale and after a few years of tough trading, the business is now beginning to flourish and will soon need more working and storage space as they looking for a showroom to exhibit its products. Having grown up in Mombasa and cherishing the golden years of the 60s, a total foodie, it was difficult for KK to hold back from introducing the Kenyan food to London. His wife, Pushpa, is a keen cook, willing to experiment new dishes time after time. In 2012, KK also established a pure vegetarian take-away called Pilli Pilli on Kenton Road, Harrow.

Since his University days, KK has had a passion for stage and has

acted in many Hindi and Gujarati plays with notable UK artists. He has acted in some TV serials in Mumbai with renowned TV and film actors. This passion remains in him even today.

As a true Kutchi, KK undoubtedly gives a lot of importance to community services.

Ever since being a founder member of Kutch Leva Patel Yuvak Sangh, when it was established in 1970, KK has been a Committee member for his community. When he came to the UK, he joined the committee of SKLPC and worked in it for 25 years, as Vice President for 9 years and finally serving as a President in 1998 to 1999.

He has also wanted to join the mainstream politics in the UK as he feels very strongly about the local community issues and unfairness in the society- but that's one dream remains unfulfilled so far.

ishor Vekaria,the founding director of Studio V Architects, qualified in March 2006 from Oxford Brookes University and became a corporate member of the Royal Institute of British Architects in June 2006.

He gained over 10 years experience in reputable practices, namely Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects and Devereux Architects. He was involved in a number of residential projects for Registered Social Landlords and private developers.

Lingham Court, winner of the Housing Design Project Award in 2005 was amongst a number of projects undertaken at PTEA. Studio V Architects Ltd is an architects' practice that undertakes projects from household extensions to major residential and mixed use schemes, in the commercial, residential and educational/community sectors up to a value of £10m and more.

The practice was founded in April 2006 and incorporated in August 2006 as a limited company. It was originally part of Modlux Plc, a medium sized design, construction and property development firm. The directors’ specialist knowledge in architecture led to the formation of Studio V Architects as a separate entity. The company is also a RIBA Chartered Practice.

Studio V Architects is commit-

Harish Vekaria ted to team working with the client at the forefront and to developing a scheme that not only suits its location, but adds value to the area. The company combines high quality design with explicit purpose and commercial instinct. It has built a reputation for delivering quality design and personal service within demanding costs and programmes. The practice has grown on its reputation to bring in new projects and clients through referrals.

36-year old Kishor Vekaria comes from four generations of Kutchis who have been involved in the construction arena.

“I’ve grown up in this industry,” he said, “My great grandfather was in construction and architecture.”

Kishor said, “What I enjoy about architecture is seeing my buildings come to life.”

Studio V buildings can be seen in London, Oxford, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Wales.

Interesting and high profile developments can be seen in Sparrows Herne in Bushey, Golders Green Road, Reenglass Road in Stanmore and Mintern Street, Islington.

Kishor’s father, Harish Vekaria, is a Civil Engineer. His uncle Mohan Vekaria is a Quantity Surveyor. Their business was a design and build firm.

Speaking about that, Kishor said it is an advantage to be able to call on the expertise of his father and

uncle, and it means that Studio V Architects can provide a one stop shop.

“Our approach is different to other companies because of the family construction background. Because the family includes developers and contractors, we can be practical in detailing. We can maximise the potential of a given space. So we are different by making our projects cost effective for our clients. By having developers and contractors in the family, we understand how a contractor thinks,” he added.

Harish and Mohan Vekaria’s business is in Hendon, and that is where Studio V is based too.

“My father’s and my uncle’s practice focuses on development projects,” said Kishor. “My practice com-

Mohan Vekaria plements their practice. Having my father’s and my uncle’s expertise means that we have a multi disciplinary team. It means we can do nearly everything in house.”

The company has built trust with its clients.

“We have architects, engineers, party wall surveyors and CDM Co-ordinators.”

Kutchi Madu

A Tale of Venturesome People

T

Shyamji Krushna Varma

Kalyanji-Anandji

he history of the turtle-shaped Kutch and its people is literally grand and boastful. It is surrounded by the Gulf of Kutch and the Arabian Sea in the south and west, while northern and eastern parts are surrounded by the Great and Little Rann. Kutch district, at 45,652 square km is the second largest district in India after Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir. The population of Kutch is 1700,000 and Bhuj is it’s administrative headquarter. The main towns are Gandhidham, Rapar, Nakhtrana, Anjar, Mandvi, Madhapar and Mundra with a total of 966 villages. It’s border with Pakistan lies along the Northern edge of Rann of Kutch, of the disputed Kori Creek.

History says that the aboriginal people of Kutch migrated from across the neighbouring countries like Marvad, Sindh and Afghanistan.

The castes and tribes of the people here include Lohana, Bhatia, Kapadi, Jadeja, Darbar, Kathi, Rajput, Leuva Patel, Brahmin, Nagar Brahmin, Khatri, Rabari, Rajgor, Shah, Bhanushali, Jain (Visha and Dasha Shreemali, Oshwal), Kutch Gurjar Kshatriya, Mistry, Kharva, Vankar, Ahir, Muslim (MemonIsmaili-Khoja). Gujarati and Kutchi languages are widely spoken here.

Kutch witnessed some of the terrible tremors that had completely shaken this land. The unforgettable earthquakes in 1956 and 2001 still remind us of the massive loss in Bhuj, Nakhtrana, Anjar, Rapar and in many other villages. But there is no exaggeration in saying that this land, even after being severely hit; always stood up with a great jump

start. And perhaps, this is the reason why venturesome well-built Kutchi people proclaim, ‘Asango Kutch, Kachhado Baremas (Kutchi always).’

The face of Kutch has drastically changed since 2001. It has had an immense kick-start in the fields of agriculture and industries.

The prosperity of this land can be truly witnessed once crossing the Surajbari no pool. Kutch is, no doubt a mineral rich region with very large reserves of Bantonite, Bauxite, Limestone, Lignite, Gypsum, Petroleum oil and also a massive reserve of trees. That’s why industrial development can be seen here on a large scale.

The big industrial groups like Tata, Adani, Welspun, Ashapura, Jindal Steel, J.P Cement and Sanchi Industries are actively operating here. Alongside, timber industries are also rapidly booming in Kutch. About 300 saw mills are active in the Gandhidham-Kandla complex. The salt industries have also been developed on a larger scale wherein about 45,000 Agariya (salt makers) from across 107 villages produce 180,000 tonnes of salt.

Kutch has also witnessed many draughts due to the lack of rain and this is the reason why the Kutchi people, along with their livestock, had to migrate towards other parts of the state. But today, Kutch is completely transformed. Now, interestingly, Kutchi people produce large quantities of dates, palm cashew, coconut and kesar mangoes, that are also exported.

Kutch has also given us coura-

geous freedom fighters like Shyamji Krushna Varma, assiduous Bhatia industrialists like Jeram Shivaji and Khimaji Ramdas, billionaire Azim Premji, well-renowned duo music composers Kalyanji-Anandji and not to mention one of the leading film directors Sanjay Lila Bhanshali.

Alongside, a number of Kutchi Maadu (people) have given notable contribution towards the economy of Mumbai, South Africa, Muscat, Oman and the UK. Shyamji Krushna Varma was born at Mandvi in 1857. He was not only a freedom fighter but also was a renowned Sanskrit scholar. While pursuing his studies in Oxford University of London, he had formed the Indian Home Rule Society, India House and Indian Sociologist Group in London. In 1877, he was given the title of ‘Pandit’ from Kashi Vidyapeeth even though he didn’t belong to the Brahmin community.

Azim Premji, Chairman of Wipro Ltd, is one of the richest personalities. He was born in 1945 in Kutch and received a degree in electrical engineering. Today, his wealth is in the region of $17 billion and as a mark of respect, he was also conferred with the Padma Bhushan by the Indian Government in 2005. He also donated $2 billion for empowering education in India, which is really a matter of pride for every Kutchi.

The historic land of Kutch has never lagged behind in the fields of music and literature. Famous Bollywood music composers Kalyanji-Anandji have their roots here. Both these brothers had a great inclination towards music since childhood. They headed to Mumbai in search of better luck and of course, the duo succeedded.

They have given us great music to a range of songs and in a bid to honour their feat, the Indian Government awarded them with the Padam Bhushan as well. Sanjay Leela Bhanshali has always been famously known for his direction in films like ‘Hum dil de chuke sanam’ for showcasing Kutchi traditions, arts and culture. Due to his unique direction, he has become one of the most celebrated directors in Bollywood.

The Bhatia adventurers who initially took up overseas journeys: Bhatia Jeram Shivaji, originally from Manvi-Kutch had sailed for Oman and Zanzibar during 18th century wherein he had started running banks. The Kutchi Bhatia were operating trading and banking businesses across Mandvi, Mundra, Mumbai, Muscat and Zanzibar during 18th and 19th century. Quite interestingly, even European businessmen had to depend upon these Kutchi bankers- merchants. When, Jeram Shivaji passed away in 1867, he had to repay a huge debt worth

Rs 600,000 dollar to the Sultan of Oman but with the help of a political agent John Kerk, this debt was reduced to $200,000 only, which was later paid up in full.

Basically business-centred, the Bhatia community settled down along the coastal areas of Mandvi, Mundra, Veraval, Ghogha, Porbandar and Surat. The Bhatias are originally believed to be Rajput Kshatriya and are well-known for their wisdom. This community follows Vaishnav. Influenced by a warm and welcoming approach of Bhatia people, the Sultan of Oman

had even built a Shreenathji’s citadel in Oman-Muscat. After that, the replica of this structure was also erected in Dubai.

Khimaji Ramdas’ family members work wonders even today in Oman: Yet the family of another Bhatia tycoon, Khimji Ramdas, have expanded their wings across Oman.

The Khimji Ramdas Group today has penetrated into many verticals that include, infrastructure, telecommunications, retailing, designer watches, luxury lifestyle accessories, international restaurant

Top Kutchi businessmen in Britain

Laxmanbhai Raghavani

Sailing to foreign lands with a view to making good fortunes, there exist perhaps the 4th or 5th Kutchi generation in the UK. Most of these generations having worked tremendously hard in East Africa finally settled down in the UK. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, they have always remained Kutchi; true to their hearts and culture and thereby, they have inculcated such values in their next generation. Kutchi are a step ahead not only in business or trade but they have also made a mark in British politics and government services. For instance, Manjibhai Kara is a Conservative Counsellor in Harrow who has been well appreciated for his good work. The other one is Bhimaji Vekaria who is chairman of the Metropolitan Police Hindu Association and also a Detective Constable of New Scotland Yard.

Below is the list of the top Kutchi businessmen in Britain: Lexcon Construction-Laxmanbhai Construction Ltd has its wings spread across UK, Kenya, Sesals and in India as well. The founder of this company is Laxmanbhai Raghwani. Now this company is being managed by Kalyanbhai Raghwani , Naranbhai Raghwanii and Harishbhai Raghwani. Laxmanbhai construction has notably performed in Kenya-Nairobi.

chains, super market retail chains, commodities and foodstuff, as well as pharmaceuticals and health care, kitchen and home appliances, building materials, paint manufacturing, shipping agencies, freight and forwarding, industrial machineries and tools, oil and gas etc. Now, the chairman of such a mega group is Kanaksinhji Khimji. The Sultan had even titled him’ Sheikh’.

Dharamsinh Nensinh Toprani is the other top industrialist in Muscat.

The family members of Laxmidas Tharia have also been doing great in the money exchange business. Kanaksinh Babala is a leading Bhatia personality in Mombasa, and started an ‘Eye Bank’ in Kenya. He was conferred a doctorate by an American University. The generations of Damodar Anandji, Gordhan Das Vallabhdas and Ranchhod Das Odha

Kutchi Patel’s notable contribution in prospering Kutch: The history of the Kutchi Patel community goes back 300-400 years old. It is said that they migrated to Kutch in 1740 after having stayed in the Banaskantha and Saurashtra regions. The Leuva Patels settled in Anjar, Bhachau and Rapar. During this time, the Kadava Patels also headed to Kutch from the Banaskantha and Mehsana districts and resided in Anjar, Lakhpat, Nakhtrana and Bhuj. They lived in a total of 142 villages in Kutch.

Initially, the Patels headed to Africa by water. Some of them got jobs at Jayaram Shivji’s place and the others started working in Materials and Water Transport Company of Alladina Vishram, (from Mundra, Kutch) where they were used to make scaffolds.

Ultimately, this led to them explor-

are about 125 years old residing in Mozambique.

Chandubhai Matani who started the business of ‘Sonarupa’ sarees in Leicester is also a Bhatia from Mandvi. His elder brother Ratansinh Motani tried his best to call him to Mozambique, but unfortunately, at that time, the Mozambique government had any migration. He then headed to Malawi and from there he travelled to Northern Rhodesia and settled in Andola. Afterwards, he went to Mufulira and finally settled in Leicester, UK where he started off a big business of sarees; both wholesale and retail. Infatuated towards music, he founded, ‘Shruti Arts’ in a bid to encourage Indian classical music and has given a platform to many classical musicians.

ing the fields of building construction and of course, they made it successfully.

Interestingly, the Kutchi Patels worked hard in constructing the Kampala-Uganda railway line from Mombasa in 1896. During this time, many Patels migrated from Jangabar to Mombasa. A large number of Kutchi people migrated towards Africa with some of them heading to Pakistan in the year 1899-1900 due to the horrific draught in Kutch.

Shamajibhai Patel, also known as ’Swahiliwala’ (originally from Dahisara) worked at Alladina Vishram’s place for twelve years before sailing directly to Mandavi in a small ferry which took him two months. Afterwards, while on his return, he brought himself useful farming tools from Kutch and later

had started farming vegetables and fruits in Mogadishu-SomaIi Land.

Kutchi Leuva Patels have mostly settled down in Mombasa, Nairobi and Nakuru. After the Second World War, a large number of Leuva Patels migrated to Somalia, Uganda, Tanganika, Congo and Rwanda. This community built Kampala’s main railway station and all those high-rising buildings in Nairobi were also erected by them.

Thanks to Laxman Construction which built such towering buildings.

During the year 1960-70, Kutchi Patels started migrating towards Europe, USA and UK. Jadava Narayanbhai Vekariya (from Baladia) was the first who pursued his education in Europe. Then, Harishbhai Govind Halai, Khimji Lalji Bharaparia and Kanji Gaganji Halai (from Madhapar) came here in 1952. Then, Karsan Haraji Halai from Naranpura in 1959, Laxman Ramji and Narayan Karasan Vekariya from Baladia in 1960 and Shamji Shivji from Madhapar, Jadav Lalji Pindoria, Haraji Yadav, Lalji Velji and Shivji Amba from Mandvi and in 1963, Kunvarji Murju Varsani from Samatra also had received their education in UK.

Baladia: Kutch’s very own Dallas: Baladia, situated about 19 km from Bhuj has its very own opulence. While taking a birds eye view by plane or chopper, it’s no surprise that any beholder can get spellbound by witnessing the beauty of ‘Dallas’. The sole credit goes to the Kutchi people residing in SA and UK for enriching this land. There is a wide range of farmhouses accompanied by grand swimming pools in Baldiya. The Kutchi generation always visit their land every year so as to adore their motherland to the fullest. And this English fluentspeaking class has not forgotten their mother tongue so far.

Bhagwan Swaminarayan (Sahajanand Swami) was once said to have visited Baladia. There are beautiful temples of Lord Swaminarayan and Badeshwar Mahadev here in Baladia. It is quite surprising to know that the banks in Kutch receive the highest deposits

as tens of thousands of Kutchis from across foreign lands send money to their native land.

Kutchi Gurjar’s remarkable contribution in the construction of dams, ports and water conservation: Rajasthani Rajputs and Kshatriyas migrated to Kutch during 7th century that are known as Gurjar Kshatriya. About 51,000 Gurjars live in Anjara, Singura, Khambhara, Nagalpar, Khadoi, Madhpar, Hajapar, Kulkama, Galpadar, Reha, Jambudi, Nagor, Meghpar and Kumbharia.

The Kutchi Gurjar Kshatriya had given noteworthy contribution in the construction of dams, reservoirs, ports and also in railways during 1850 to 1980. The Chavdas had given their contribution in building Mumbai’s Victoria Port in 1891.

Alongside, the others who gave their contribution include, Vishram Karasan Chavada, for his role in constructing Mandavi Port in 1883, Kumbhariya Haraji Jivan Chavada for Karanchi’s Port in 1895, Jeram Karasan Chauhan from Nagor in construction of Hirakund dam in 1948, and Devalia Narayan Bhagvan Maru in the construction of Parola dam.

Kutchi Gurjar’s foreign journey: Some of these Gurjar Kshatriyas had gone to Karachi and RangoonBurma in 1920. In 1940, this community started heading to SA wherein Nathlal Rudabhai Solanki was the first person to settle in Dares-Salam of Tanjanika. Then, Mohanbhai Manani, Shamji Ramji Rathod, Dharamji Kalyanji Javia, Dhanjibhai Laxmanbhai Varu, Dhanjibhai Sapariya, Mohanbhai Gohil, Bhimajibhai Tapubhai Parmar, Ramji Devji Tank along with other members had established Gurjar

Kshatriya Samaj in SA. Gordhanbhai Manani and Jethalal Manani migrated to UK in1960 where Gurjar Kshatriya Samaj was established under the leadership of Chhaganbhai Varu, Dahyabhai Varu, Vrujlal Rathod, Manji Bhai Varu and Avasarbhai Parmar. Further, this community also lives in other countries like Canada and USA.

Kutchi Visa and Dasha Oswal Jain: Visa and Dasha Oswal Jain have quite a lot of population in Kutch. These Kutchi Jain have spread their businesses in Mumbai to SA and especially across Kenya, Norway and USA. These communities had settled down in Mumbai for seeking better fortune in trade and business. Many big readymade garment stores are usually run by these people in Mumbai. Alongside, they are also widely engaged in real estate, grocery and construction.

They have not only progressed in business but also have made a mark in education and religion across UK. Kutchis have always brought with them religious values and culture wherever they have gone.

There is Kutchi people’s goddess Ashapura Madh, Kadva Patel’s goddess Umiyamata temple and labour class and farmers follow in Swaminarayan.

During the Mogul times, there saw an unprecedented increase in the Muslim population. And both Hindu and Muslim live here with fraternity and brotherhood. In the Kutch desert, not only Muslim but also Hindu believe in Hanji Pir. Interestingly, Muslims like Fateh Mohammed also bow in the respect of Ashapura Madh. There are many Jain Temples (Derasar) in Mundra and Abadasa, wherein Abadasa’s Bhadreswar Derasar is very old.

Kutch suffered from severe draughts in the past. But now with the help of the Gujarat Government’s efforts, the Narmada waters have been delivered even to the Kutch regions. Moreover, the drinking water yojana worth Rs 6 billion has also been implemented here successfully in Kutch. Now every village here is provided with 24-hour electricity. Besides, the timber industry is boosted up here due to Kutch being declared as ‘Timber Zone’ by the government.

Due to Government’s declaration of Temporary Reduction of Tax in Kutch, helped this land to leap forward towards industrial revolution. There was a total capital investment of Rs 350 billion in Kutch in the year 2010, while it has gone up to Rs 750 billion now. The coastal lines of Kutch have helped a lot in enhancing export-import business with all the more record breaking targets.

Vibrant Kutch: The Gujarat Government has made Kutch one of the most attractive spots. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, as a brand ambassador for Gujarat, has been incredibly spreading the essence and beauty of Kutch in his very impressive style. This has attracted millions of tourists from all over the world to Kutch. Last year, former Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi organised ‘Rannotsav’ here which had attracted a large number of tourists. The boastful people of Kutch, their culture and living styles can surely attract anyone without any doubt. Kutchi embroidery, handicrafts and tie-dye arts are massively magnetising the fashion world.

By and large, observing this thriving land, it can be simply said that ‘Bravo Kutch’!

Always in our Hearts

Arjan Karsandas Vekaria: Remembering a Noble Soul

uring his lifetime he impacted many people with extraordinary dynamism, charisma and camaraderie.

Arjan Karsan Vekaria is one interesting personality whose life is a saga of adherence to the lofty ideals and table of values which are cherished by human beings in every age and clime.

He did not merely convert worldly success and material prosperity into a comfortable life for himself and his family. Instead he made up his mind to use them as a means to help his less fortunate brethren and broadcast the glories of Bhagavan and Sanatan Dharma.

Amid darkness, gloom and despair he ushered in a ray of hope. Reflecting on the life and works of Arjan Vekaria it becomes evident that he influenced numerous people with his dynamism, personal charisma and camaraderie.

The tributes that have been offered to his memory amply reflect this. As a true humanitarian he is being honoured by many people beyond his own community and ethnic background.

Despite representing the world’s third largest religion with a massive and an economically vibrant middle class population, Hindus have a miniscule media presence. In an effort fill this yawning abyss Arjan Vekaria and his brother Shashi founded the Hindu Today magazine nearly seven years ago. Till date the magazine is the world’s only Pan-Hindu monthly magazine. Arjan Vekaria was also a founding member and the president of the Hindu Forum of Britain.

“Those whom God love die young,” goes the old adage. All good things must come to an end goes another. Arjan Vekaria’s philanthropic deeds were cut short with his rather untimely demise on 23rd November 2013. A review of accomplishments, however long, cannot match the impact that Arjan Vekaria had upon thousands of people cutting across

the globe. Hailed as a leader and friend by many Hindus of both the UK and India, Arjan Vekaria was also held in high esteem by many people outside of the Hindu community.

From Staff at Vascroft After arriving to UK, new to the country and unfamiliar territory, both Arjan and Shashi embarked on an epic journey to give their family and community a solid foundation. They both worked hard, starting in the construction business from the very

bottom. Dusty, dirty and incredibly tired after a full day on site they would revel in the knowledge that they would someday be the ones commanding their own construction company. And this they successfully achieved.

With the birth of Vascroft, your new company came & took on a dynamic team from CM's, QS's, Accountants, procurement, managerial staff to Site, Metal and Joinery Staff and set about creating an empire. Sangita Patel and Rashmi Patel.

Arjan, your leadership skills and ability in recognising talent in your team gave rise to an opportunity in encouraging staff to progress through education. Always on the lookout to give back to the staff, even setting up a Scholarship at the College of Northwest London. Raj Vekria, Dipesh & Kanti Bhudia, Hitesh and Ramesh, even Hinesh the plumber!

Arjanbhai was always competitive and very subtle; his example had always been how to get along with others, work hard and to achieve success in whatever we decide to do.

Though his advice was at times sprinkled with some common favourite phrases known to those close to him, the spice he brought was like the food he cooked (especially the annual spicy Pau-Bhaji). He was a very interesting character and always jovial. He was the ultimate buddy, would listen to your problems and always had a good story to tell of his experiences with Shashibhai whilst they grew up in Uganda, their school life in India and up to the time they settled in the UK. He taught me the core values of professionalism to compliment the shrewdness that is required in the world of finance and always had pin point accurate advice for any topic. This all came with the real world experience because he had lived it. Ashwin Vora He even took his M&E Dept to Belgium to explore and understand equipment that would be in their industry. But it wasn't all work and education at Vascroft. Arjan would take pride in his staff and take them to cricket tournaments, matches and barbeques. To add, Diwali, Christmas and special Rewards for exceptional achievers would bring much fun and entertainment to all. For a special touch he would make every effort to send birthday wishes to all his staff. Samji Halai, Divya Patel, Jadu Bhudia and Lakhu Bhanderi.

Arjan's generous heart in appreciating the ladies didn't go amiss either; his many trips abroad would bring exotic delights and gifts for them; in thanks for their hard work and loyalty in the smooth running of the business. All his Vascroft Girls.

It goes without saying….He was a Legend in his own Right and shone a bright light for his staff. From All @ Vascroft, you are dearly missed and thought of everyday.

Building a Bright Future for the Kutchi Community

Binda Bhudia

T

30

hrough my job, I meet young people who come from all ethnicities and communities, each holding on to their traditions, values and customs to make themselves feel a part of something despite being away from ‘home’. One community that has thrived since arriving in the UK several decades ago is the Kutchi community (Shree Kutch Leva Patel). They persevered, worked hard and succeeded.

As that generation adapted to a new life, the young Kutchis were born, and parents encouraged them to reap the benefits of their forefathers through going to school, keeping their heads down and being successful. Success. Saphalatā in Gujarati. It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean?

I am a 27-year-old Kutchi, living in Hackney. I dedicate my time to community projects, charitable work and am the Managing Director of social enterprise Pure Potential.

Would you consider me to be successful? I would hope so. I am highly qualified, ambitious and driven. Success for me – like for many other Kutchis – wasn’t easy.

When you come from a family where university isn’t the norm, where most left school at 16, and you have parents who are unfamiliar with the education system, success becomes more difficult to attain.

worked in admin. As I looked further afield, builders, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and the occasional office worker were the people I was in touch with. My parents were excellent role models, teaching me about our dharma, traditions and culture, but when I searched for contacts in the legal profession, the banking sector, the medical field or even people who went to university, I always fell short. I navigated my way through and now work in the education sector where I help students to make informed choices about their future university and career decisions. Like many others, I

represent successful Kutchis who are working in different industries.

As the wave of first generation Kutchis are working their way up career ladders, we need to look ahead and think carefully about the future. We are now the role models that young Kutchis are searching for.

We have overcome barriers, achieved great things, but the hard work has just begun. It’s not just about aspiring to be an accountant, doctor or engineer anymore. I believe that all young Kutchis should aspire to make their mark in whatever interests them. We are a talented, motivated and dedicated generation with a rich cultural history to ground us; we should make the most of it. The key to enabling that change is the parental generation (that’s you with a child aged 5 – 25). You should be encouraged to think hard about the options you give your children. Do your best to understand that your

child’s future is very likely to be different from the one you envisaged, or could have ever expected for yourself. If you don’t know, get to know! Ignorance is no excuse, especially when most homes have laptops, tablets and access to Google!

It’s not all down to the parents either. Young people need to take control of their futures. Universities, employers and independent organisations run incredible programmes to help students to explore their future options.

Opportunities like these are specifically designed for ethnic minorities like the Kutchi community, but we snap up so few of these, and this needs to change.

As a young professional in my community, I now see it as my role to encourage the younger generation to fulfill their potential.

My job allows me to do this, but so do organisations like the SKLP Careers Choices Connections. What can you do to support a young person you know? Contact your local community leaders to discuss ways you can help.

David Cameron regularly speaks about the Big Society. I am a huge advocate for social action, but in order to achieve a better society, we need to start a little closer to home with our families and community. The Kutchi community has come a long way since we first established our roots in the UK, and it has over the past 50+ years produced incredible leaders who are shaping the way our community grows and develops. We now need to think about how we shape the next generation of bright sparks coming through, and build a community network that allows them to flourish.

Setting examples with simplicity, honesty and hard work

n

Rupanjana Dutta

Laxmanbhai was born in Baladia, Kutch, India, in 1930. His father Bhimjibhai passed away when he was only 6 months old and was brought up by his mother Amarbai, in modest conditions. In 1947, uncle Keshrabhai arranged for then 17 year old Laxmanbhai and his 25 year old elder brother Kanjibhai to travel to Kenya.

When Laxmanbhai left Baladia, he had only 100 rupees in his pocket.

Realising there was no prospect of progress without some knowledge of English he had a deep desire to be educated. As he was not in a position to get full time education, he had to work during the day and study at night and managed to learn some English. He was good at square cutting stones to measure and quality of his workmanship was appreciated.

After some 6 years in this service he was able to earn around 600 shillings per month.

Hard life as it was, he shared a room with other workers and slept in a mattress on the floor, woke up at about 4am to get ready and make food in turns. Doing heavy manual work required heavy eating, so every morning they had to prepare around 600 chapattis beside vegetables and boil milk for all in the room. To visit sites he had to travel by bicycle for miles. He slowly built up trust with the employer, who then promoted him to supervisor grade.

After 6 years in Kenya he returned to Baladia to marry his prearranged bride, Prembai. When he decided to go back to Kenya, he visiited Purani Swami Shree Vallabhdasji, the then Mahant at Shree Swaminarayan Temple, Bhuj, for blessing. Mahant advised him not to do manual work any longer; instead to start work as a self-employed contractor. He returned to Kenya in 1953 and registered his own company under the name of Laxmanbhai & Co. in Nairobi, initially as a labour only subcontractor and then proceeded to full labour and material contractor. He soon enrolled his elder brother

Kanjibhai and cousin Premjibhai as his equal partners.

The first major contract by the company was construction of the Post Office building in Meru followed by University of Nairobi. His honest and noble nature won trust of architects and employers in Kenya. He was awarded major contracts such as Extelecom House, Central Bank of

The group maintains honest and practical dealings with their principals.

Their vast experience, financial resources, superior construction technology, plants and equipment, skilled labour, careful supervision… all contribute to the group’s operating as a reputed construction organisation of international standard, that can undertake and execute projects of considerable size and magnitude to the total satisfaction of their clients.

Some of the major projects by him includes BAPS Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Neasden, Brahma Kumaris Global Cooperation House in Willesden, Advaite Centre in Wembley, various luxurious houses in Hampstead and Moorpark areas, temples, social halls, multi storey residential developments, factories and warehouses in and around London, refurbishments and extensions of residential, commercial and industrial buildings including design and building projects for private clients as well as own developments.

Humble in his heart, Laxmanbhai still finds time to look after religious and social activities, helping organisations financially and administratively. He would readily praise and appreciate people and their good work, rewarding his employees and his subordinates generously. He sets an example by leading a simple life with faith in God, hard work and honesty.

Kenya, Teleposta Tower, Nyayo House, Rehamtulla Trust Tower, Kenindia House, to name a few and other high rise commercial and residential blocks, banks, silos, temples, schools, shopping centres, hotels of international standards, safari parks, airport buildings, industrial units etc.

In 1971, retaining the headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya the company spread out to Seychelles where it has remained in prominence till date carrying out major building projects similar to those in Kenya for Government and private clients.

In 1973 it spread out to Mauritius and in1983 it branched out to India, UK and Europe.

Draupadi in the Business world

www.abplgroup.com

B

Dina Bhudia P2M group

There were many up and downs. Honestly more downs than ups. From time to time I really felt like giving up. But in business risks have to be taken.

Therefore learning to be outside of my comfort zone was a skill I quickly acquired, managing every element of the business.

orn into a working class Kutchi family, my father spent most of his life behind a wheel of bus, ferrying passenger’s to and from their travel destinations.

Being one of two siblings and a child of Indian decent, growing up in the UK, my parents instilled high expectations in me, whether its education or anything else. With a structured and homely upbringing I was very sheltered from the world of business, and my own personal identity.

In later years I began a part-time job in a supermarket. I gave my earnings to my parents and welcomed every decisions that my parents made for me, not having the opportunity to make any of my own choices in life. This mainly stemmed from being brought up in a traditional Indian family, whose thoughts and sentiments were still centered around the life they left back in India.

Some would term this as backward, I would rather regard this as a reluctance to change.

1998 was a big year in my life, I got married and began a new chapter in my life. It redefined who I am, and once again I learnt to find my path, and instigated a career in banking, excelled to the Top 3 in one of the largest high street banks. It soon became apparent that individual clients were choosing to do business with me personally, rather than the brand/company I represented.

At this point I realised that I no longer

wanted to be defined by a payroll number, but by who I am- “Dina Bhudia” As boredom kicked in, further realisation dawned- the tug of war between being a family orientated daughter my parents always wished for, and to create my own personal brand required me to have many facets to my character- a wife, mother, business owner, daughter etc, incorporating each one into my daily life.

Following my inner voice, I dived into the independent Financial Sector with a hunger to establish myself as an individual.

I was surrounded with nothing but businessmen who saturated the property and financial sectors with preemanations that 'Men ruled the Financial world'.

I was ready to win the war, using my knowledge and experience.

There were many up and downs. Honestly more downs than ups. From time to time I really felt like giving up. But in business risks have to be taken.

Therefore learning to be outside of my comfort zone was a skill I quickly acquired, managing every element of the business.

As the storm claimed my clients, I managed to survive as the financial sector spiraled down. I invested my time into my children educating them, values and traditions, made sure I kept away from publicity or any negative energy and continued to strengthen relationship with my existing clientele.

I approached my

community businessmen, they embraced me with false promises of higher opportunities, and crushed every ounce of hope. I persevered and carried on breaking boundaries and growing, only to witness that my success has become others' envy. I had surrounded myself with individuals who kept my spirits up and kept me realigned to my power within.

I accepted I am a Kutchi girl in a Man’s world of Property and Finance. As more and more people came to me for advise and knowledge, doors opened through my direct relationships, times and efforts. I empowered myself to keep flourishing, and not to let others hinder my vision.

I soon realised that my strength was in my experience, my mind and vision that no one could take. Being a Kutchi business women does not come with so many expectations, but definitely with more assumptions.

A community which had broken into UK's business world in the 70’s, have not yet accepted a woman as a business leader. I can only compare myself as Draupadi, fighting the war of Mahabharata, wishing well for others, yet sustaining that fire in her eyes, her lethal silence that make her an intellectual equal.

As Krishna recited “Draupadi’s dilemma is of all modern day intelligent women who wish to be treated as equal, and respected for their calibre to be an integral part of mainstream society.”

was approached by the editor of the Asian Voice to write an article about Kutchi Life in London, and I said, ‘not sure about that, why me, I’m just an ordinary guy with a standard family background with no real exceptional story to tell’. ‘That’s exactly what we want, and you are the man for job’ was his reply. So here is my Kutchi in London story.

My family history begins in Madhapar, one of the largest Kanbi (Kutchi) gams located a few miles from Bhuj, which is in the heart of

In the 1940’s there were opportunities to set sail to East Africa for a new life, so my grandfather decided to take a gamble and embarked on this great voyage with his family to see what they could make of this.

My father spent the next 20 years in Nairobi working in the Quarry business, driving lorries, and eventually training as a mechanic. During this time, he had been back to India for a few years to marry my mother, returning back to Kenya with my brother, which is where my sister was subsequently born. My mother often told 34

I

’m a second generation Kanbi, born in Gam Godhpur, Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat in 1972, and exported to London soon after.

Writing this article gave me the opportunity to understand more clearly the backdrop on how we came to this country and the struggles we faced doing so. I say we but actually these were not my struggles, I was a passenger, actually more of a parasite, as I was in the womb of my mother when the struggles were going on.

Not that my father hasn’t tried to tell me several times already, but when he does he turns into background noise like an over played record. This time it was me making the enquiries and I was forced to listen and take notes, and I am glad I did.

My family came to London as part of the Asian exodus from Uganda back in October 1972. They had a 90 day period to leave the country between October and December of that year.

During the 90 day evacuation period, you were not allowed to leave the country until you had cleared your taxes to the Ugandan Government; so before they kicked you out you had to clear your account with them! In order to get the stamp done, my dad admitted to me that he bribed the tax inspector, who was armed at the time, with a 100 Shilling note in his hand. This gave him the stamp necessary to leave the country.

My parents got lucky on the way to the airport, there was a lot of looting going on in the street and both the passengers ahead of them got looted. My mother managed to keep the jewelry she had on her. My parents managed to leave the country with this as well as a small amount of cash.

Import Export My mother was expecting me at the time, she (and I) went to Bhuj along with my two elder sisters by Steamer. I cannot imagine how hard this would have been being seven months pregnant and having to go through the trauma of being kicked out of a country and then facing an arduous journey by boat. My father and elder brother went to London to set up base there.

I was born in Bhuj a couple of months after the evacuation. When I was born my father wrote a letter to my mum, giving two instructions: One was to buy a cow so I could have milk, the second was not take me to the farm, as I would go black in the sun.

My grandma was not too impressed with the latter instruction, and said

the trauma of being kicked out of a country and then facing an arduous journey by boat

both my parents were mad as somebody had to work in the farm.

My father and brother arrived in London and first stayed with my uncle, my father’s younger brother’s house in Wembley. They moved around to vari-

Fresh of the boat ous places as tenants until finally purchasing a home for the family, which they purchased in April 1974 for £15,000. This was done through a combination of my father’s earnings and borrowing from the community for the deposit and a loan from the bank.

What impressed me the most is the loan was fully repaid in thirteen years.

Not too long after finding work my father went back to India to collect the rest of the family. My mum wasn’t aware he was coming, the first she heard of him arriving was from my elder sister who said my dad had arrived - she thought my sister was joking and dismissed her.

I remember growing up in the house we always had tenants. This was a small three bedroom semidetached house, where there were five children and my parents which meant seven in total. Despite this one room would constantly be let out to bring in some money. This later increased by one more when my elder sister went to India to get married and returned with a strange man, who I didn’t recognise, and no one really bothered to explain to me what he was doing in our house.

I remember one of the tenants particularly well, as sometimes as a young child, in protest I would lock myself in a room and not open the door to anyone. These tenants were the only ones who managed to get me to open the door. They would knock and bribe me with polo sweets in order for me to open the door. I have no idea what I was protesting about, but whatever it was it must have been a serious issue to warrant such a severe reaction from myself.

I also remember the first car we bought, it was a Talbot Chrysler, moss green. I know it so well because my dad use to make me wash it once a week on a Sunday, whilst supervising the whole operation to ensure I did a thorough job!

My father was a subcontractor in Uganda having several sites under his control, at times he had 50 - 60 workers underneath him. During the mass exodus he had to leave his jobs half way through, leaving his payment trapped in the sites.

When he arrived in London he took a job as a plasterer for John Laing where he worked continuously for the rest of his working life until retirement.

It was my grandfather who took

my father along with his elder brother from India to Kenya with the hope of a better education. My dad was the middle one of three boys, he went over at the age of 11 by boat in 1948.

During this period they would go back and forth to Kutch from Kenya by steamship.

My grandfather was a sculptor, he used to carve statues for temples and for rich Indians in Mandvi, a coastal port in Kutch, where originally my family came from. He passed away in 1955 peacefully after staying with the Swaminarayan sadhus in Bhuj, who were looking after him with medication, leaving a widow to bring up three very strong willed boys. My dad would have been 18 at this time, he had already started his working life at the age of 13 as a laborer in Kenya, he later moved to Kampala, Uganda.

I have not heard anything regarding my dad’s misdemeanors, as no one has told me. But I know the naughty things I have done, and the apple does not fall far from the tree. Therefore it can be firmly concluded the tree must have had a streak of naughtiness too.

It is admirable to see the challenges my parents faced and actually very humbling to hear. By way of admission perhaps I have been too dismissive of the challenges they have

Building collapsed on itself faced and not realised the enormity of what they have been through to simply survive and bring me and my siblings up.

It is all too easy to forget the roots of the past and keep charging into the future in this fast paced world.

It was also interesting to see the stark contrast of the mindset back then to what we have now. Back then debt was bad, it needed to be gotten rid of.

They did whatever they needed to, to

ensure the mortgage debt, and debt owed to others, was paid off quickly, irrespective of personal discomfort. Now debt has become normalised and personal comfort ranks higher than having a mortgage.

During the Bhuj earthquake of 2000 I had the privilege of serving the people of Kutch for a short time. In truth my intention was simply to go With the doctor from the Israeli Army over and see what happened to my parents who were there at the or hiding from it; this is in stark contrast time as we had received no news of to here where we erase it from our what had happened to them and had lives in a futile attempt to avoid the ultimate destination for us all. This is seen no way of finding out either. even in our vocabulary, for example when you take life assurance you’re ‘insuring’ against the event of death, that’s when the policy pays out. Yet you don’t call it death insurance, that would be a difficult sale.

My father has told me we are not actually Kutchis, contrary to popular belief, as we do not speak Kutchi bhasa we are Kanbi's, meaning sowers of However after seeing the sheer seed and we are migrants to this area, scale of devastation and destruction I had to help in whatever capacity I coming originally from further north of could.
