Fortunately, in addition to official, formal governmental documentation, several studies of Ahmedabad in this period provide summary pictures of the growing city. These include Kenneth Gillion’s Ahmedabad (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1968), Ratnamanirao Bhimrao Jhote’s Gujaratnun Patnagar Ahmedabad [Gujarat’s Capital City, Ahmedabad] (Ahmedabad: Gujarat Sahitya Sabha, 1929), several biographies of major figures in the city, journalistic writings on the contemporary mill industry , and a number of analytic articles, including those by Makrand Mehta, “Gandhi and Ahmedabad, 1915–20,” Economic and Political Weekly, January 22, 2005, 291–99, and by Howard Spodek, “The ‘Manchesterization’ of Ahmedabad,” Economic Weekly, March 13, 1965, 483–90. Dwijendra Tripathi’s Dynamics of a Tradition: Kasturbhai Lalbhai and His Entrepreneurship (Delhi: Manohar, 1981), illuminates the city’s business history through the work of a single entrepreneur. Devavrat Nanubhai Pathak and Pravin Natvarlal Sheth’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel: From Civic to National Leadership (Ahmedabad: Navajivan Press, 1980) similarly examines politics through a single political professional. Makrand J. Mehta, The Ahmedabad Cotton Textile Industry: Genesis and Growth (Ahmedabad: New Order Book Co., 1982), gives an overview of the city’s early textile industry. A 1990 dissertation by Kunjalata Shah at SNDT University in Bombay, “Ahmedabad: Pre-Industrial to Industrial Urban Centre (1859–1930),” and another by Siddharth Raychaudhuri at Cambridge University in England, in 1997, “Indian Elites, Urban Space, and the Restructuring of Ahmedabad City, 1890–1947,” provide academic analyses, while Indulal Yagnik’s Autobiography, trans. Devavrat Pathak, Howard Spodek, and John Wood (New Delhi: Manohar Books, forthcoming), especially volumes 1 and 2, give an insider’s personal, thoughtful, engaged perspective. 11.

Jains are not usually considered as Hindus by religion, but within the social structure, they are thought of as Vanias, and intermarriage between Jains and Vaishnavite Vanias is sanctioned and frequent. 16.
