The term Gujarati Muslims (Gujarati: ગુજરાતી મુસલમાનો,Urdu: گجراتی مسلمان) is usually used to signify an Indian Muslim from the state of Gujarat in North-western coast of India. Gujarati Muslims are very prominent in industry and medium-sized businesses, and there is a very large Gujarati Muslim community in Mumbai. Many members of this community migrated to Pakistan in 1947 and have settled in Sindh province especially in Karachi, contributing to the national welfare and economy of Pakistan. Having earned a formidable accolade as some of India's greatest seafaring merchants, the centuries-old Gujarati diaspora is found scattered throughout the Near East, Indian Ocean, and Southern Hemisphere regions everywhere in between Africa and Japan with a notable presence in:Hong Kong, Britain, Portugal, Réunion,Oman,Yemen,Mozambique,Aden, Zanzibar,United Arab Emirates, Burma,Madagascar,South Africa, Mauritius, Pakistan and East Africa.
