          gujarat ki samriddhata adhunik nahian aitihasik hai. is ilake ne bahut utar-chadhav dekhe haian. sainy, rajanitik, yuddh, bhookanp, samudr ka aangadaee lena aur gussa dikhana, registan se lekar ab ho rahi jabaradast khudaee (khanan) tak sab kuchh. mujhe nahian lagata ki hamare samany samaj ki is tarah ke utar-chadhav ko janane aur samajhane mean bahut ruchi rahi hai. mujhe samajh nahian ata ki hamara adhyatm rahasyavad ko khilaf kyoan hota hai; ek samay par ek shahar mean se ek b di nadi bahati thi, jisane apana rasta badal liya. nadi is raste mean is badalav ne ek arthavyavastha ko khatam kar diya.
          kachchh ke uttar poorv mean lakhapat ka kila hai. yah keval ek kila nahian hai, balki ek poora vakaya hai. aj jab ap is kile ki taraph jane ke lie nikalate haian to kee kilomitar tak apako koee ghani basti ya bazar ya seva nazar nahian ati. baharahal apako lignaeet ki khadanean hone ke bahut se bord dikhaee dete haian. jinase yah pata chalata hai ki gujarat khanij vikas nigam is ilake ka maujooda sattadar hai. is kile ke thik bahar ek chay ki dukan hai. kile ke bhitar har roj apani ziandagi ke lie joojhate ab 51 parivar rahate haian, par itihas to kuchh aur hi kahani kahata hai. janate haian ise lakhapat kyoan kahate haian? yah desh ka sabase samriddh bandaragah hua karata tha. vyapar ka alam yah tha ki har roj is sthan par 1 lakh ko diyoan (tab ki mudra) ka vyapar hota tha. isi ek lakh ke karan isaka nam lakhapat p d gaya. lakhapat matalab lakhapati parivaroan ka gaanv!
12 sal ki umr mean fakir bane gaus muhammad ki samadhi yahaan hai. mana jata hai ki makka jate samay aur vapas lautate samay gurunanak ne lakhapat mean ratri vishram kiya tha, isalie yahaan gurudvara bhi hai. yahaan ke granthi ke mutabiq lakhapat ka gurudvara pahala gurudvara hai. 1805 mean kachchh ke raja ke lokapriy senapati jamadar fateh muhammad ne isaki siandh ke akraman se raksha karane ke lie lakhapat ka kila banavaya. jisaka parakota sat kilomitar ka hai. yahaan kachchh ke vishal ran se kori kha di ka milan hota hai. tab siandhu nadi yahaan se baha karati thi. yahaan ki janasankhya 5000 hua karati thi, jiname jyadatar saudagar aur hiandoo hote the. siandhu nadi ke kinare par kotari namak sthan tha jahaan b di navean aur jahaz akar kh de hote the. yahaan se ooantoan par any sadhanoan se mal dho–dho kar thar tak panhuchaya jata tha. sochiye aj jo registani kshetr hai, vahaan sabase jyada kheti dhan ki hoti thi. varsh 1819 mean kachchh mean aye jabaradast bhookanp ne sab kuchh badal diya. yahaan joon 1819 ke sat dinoan mean 36 bhoo-garbhiy kanpan hue. yahaan se bahane vale siandhu nadi ne apana rasta badala diya, ek prakritik baandh – allahband ka nirman ho gaya aur nadi sidhe samudr mean jakar milane lagi. sab kuchh tahas nahas ho gaya. bataya jata hai ki aitihasik mahattv ke maddenazar sarakar dvara is kshetr aur logoan ke vikas ke lie rashi jari ki jati rahi, par bhrashtachar lakhapat ke vajood ko mitane ki muhim mean saphal sabit hua. ab yahaan koee nahian ata hai. ath pi diyoan se rah rahe log apani in j doan ko chho dana nahian chahate haian. ve manate haian ki samriddhata aur sampannata hamesha nahian rahati. ham yadi lakhapat ko chho d bhi deange to hamari ziandagi nahian badalegi. ab hamean apana naya bhavishy gadhana hai.
          kachchh mean hi 17vian shatabdi mean nirmit hua muandra bandaragah bhi hai. nijikaran ke jariye arthik vikas ki nitiyoan ke tahat yah bandaragah das sal pahale ek niji kampani samooh adani ko de diya gaya. usane yahaan paryavaran ko khoob nuksan panhuchaya, jisake lie us par 200 karo d roope ka jurmana bhi hua. baharahal yah bandaragah ek samay mean namak aur masaloan ke vyapar ke lie behad prasiddh tha. yahaan rahane vale kharava jati ke log kushal jahaz chalak hote the, isalie yah bandaragah bhi bahut saphal raha. in tinoan udaharanoan ko dekha jae to arthik sampannata ke sath yahaan dharmik aur adhyatmik sauhard bhi phaila hua nazar ata hai. muandra mean bhi shah bukhari pir ki daragah hai. sant dariya pir ke bare mean kaha jata hai ki ve machhuaroan ki raksha karate the aur 17vian sadi mean yahaan aye the.
          gujarat mean kachchh ke doosare kone mean hai maandavi; ek samudr tat aur ek shahar! thoda vistar se batata hooan. aj jis gujarat rajy ko ham bahut samriddh manate haian aur sochate haian ki ye pichhale kuchh varshoan mean vikasit hua hai, par sach yah hai ki samriddhata to yahaan 400 sal pahale se ana shuroo ho gayi thi. vahaan maandavi mean kachchh ke raja kheangaraji ne varsh 1574 mean vishalakay bandaragah banavaya tha. 1581 mean nagar ki sthapana huee. is bandaragah ki kshamata 400 jahazoan ki thi. muanbee se pahale yah bandaragah ban gaya tha. ajakal bharat ka bhugatan santulan big da hua hai yani niryat kam hota hai aur ayat jyada; par 100 saloan tak maandavi se hone vale vyapar mean ayat se char guna jyada niryat hota tha. yahaan se poori aphrika, pharas ki kha di, malabar, poorvi eshiya se vyapar ke lie jahaz arab sagar ke is bandaragah par ate the. yahaan ke samudr ko kala samudr ya blek-si bhi kaha jata hai. kyoanki yahaan milane vali barik mittinuma ret ka rang kala hota hai. pahale-pahal to apako lagega ki - haian! yahaan to kichad hai; par jab ham ise sparsh karate haian tab hamean yahaan ki sanskriti, sampannata aur vaibhavashali atit ka ahasas hone lagata hai. is yatra se mera yah vishvas to mazaboot hua ki itihas aur atit ko bar-bar palat kar zaroor dekhana chahie; ek ne samaj ko gadhane ke lie yah bahut zaroori hai.
