I belong to an erstwhile feudal family from Pre Partion Bengal. I was taught to value resilience and courage and never to up our values or hesitant to defend what we stand for. My father served in the India Air Force and my Grandfather was in the India ordinance factory service, I had the privilege to live in many part of India and learn about the oneness of Indian culture .We have made Gujarat our home and we belong to Gujarat now. Our relation with Gujarat dates back to the time when my grandfather was posted in Dahod during his service with the ordinance factory in the 1940s .After that my father had the privilege to operate from Jamnagar Air Base during his service with Indian Air Force and latter during his stint with a US corporate, I completed my Graduation from St Xavier’s in Ahmedabad and the opportunity do my first job in Gujarat. Gujarat is a state with warm people known for there resilience and enterprise and I have learned a lot form the culture and History of the people of Gujarat. The People of Gujarat has played a great role in shaping my mind and made me what I am today. Like my family India and Gujarat has traveled a long way in history with its glorious past and like my family endured many ravages of time. I feel the greatest asset an Indian has is the wealth of its values and culture irrespective of our financial standing and this we must not lose at any cost its our values that will endure us during tough times, our culture is our identity and our sole to me. My family never sacrificed our honor and values. Our Indian values that are the greatest wealth I hold. We must remember the world will respect us only as long as we don’t ape anyone and have something of your own to show.
