Bhanu L. Patel

Sanctuary should be like flowing stream instead of closed lake so that change can be accepted. Water is wasted during some time in the Confined Lake and different pests occur in the water and it becomes nonconsuming. But it seems beautiful due to the flow of water. In the same way, there is no progress in the development of culture and like the lake. But if the culture is like a flowing stream, then it remains settled in its standard level according to change, progress and status or time. It is only on the development of any society or person that it is its culture. Gujarat is divided mainly into three to four sub-cultures. There is a process of change in all the sub-cultures. In the present article, discusses the change in various regional cultures of Gujarat. These include Saurashtra-Kutch, Central Gujarat and East Gujarat.
