	Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		In the context of Kachchh and Sindh, it must be recalled that at the time these provinces were being described as ‘disturbed’, the British were just beginning to establish a relationship with the Kachchh state which offered a significant foothold for future control over Sindh.
		Situated as this area was, on the border between Kachchh and Sindh, somewhat on the periphery of the central authority in Sindh, under a deployment of British forces from Kachchh and related closely to the neighbouring states of Kachchh and Marwar, its political and territorial allegiances were somewhat ambiguously defined.
		Thus Kachchh would argue that the districts were closer to them because of cultural and religious affinities while the commissioner in Sindh would reply that TharParkar was an integral part of Sindh as it had always, albeit nominally, rendered allegiance to the court of Sindh.

	MSN India - Quake victims vote against tide :: News Section
		In Bhuj, the epicentre of the January 2000 earthquake, rehabilitation of the quake victims remains the major issue here and a sense that the BJP hasn't done enough resulted in a clean sweep by the Congress.
		Kachchh suffered the most in the devastating earthquake two years ago, as 3.5 lakh buildings were destroyed and people today are still living in temporary shelters.
		The political Richter scale in Kachchh was obviously affected by issues relating to the earthquake and the vote against the BJP was also because three important BJP leaders from here, Suresh Mehta, Dhirubhai Shah and Mukesh Zaveri held key positions in Gandhinagar, but were perceived as not doing enough for their quake-affected district.

		In this talk, I use ethnographic data from Kachchh, a district in the Indian state of Gujarat to critically engage with Gujarat’s contemporary official self image, formulated in the idea of Gujarati ‘Asmita’ (pride or glory).
		This is manifest not merely in the rewriting of textbooks and symbolic political maneuvers such as the rediscovery of the medieval Hindu capital at Patan, but most powerfully in the planned massacres against the region’s Muslim populations in early 2002.
		Kachchh lies on the border with Pakistan’s Sindh province and for centuries close travel and trade links have existed between these two provinces.
