the capital of Gujarat from 1960 to 1970; the capital was shifted to
Gandhinagar thereafter. In colloquial Gujarati, the city is commonly called
Amdavad. Ahmedabad was founded in 1411 by Sultan Ahmed Shah to serve
as the capital of the Gujarat Sultanate, and was named after him. Under the
British rule, a military cantonment was established and the city infrastructure
was modernized and expanded. Though incorporated into the Bombay
Presidency during British rule, Ahmedabad remained the most important city
in the Gujarat region. The city established itself as the home of a booming
textile industry, which earned it the nickname the "Manchester of the East."
The city was at the forefront of the Indian independence movement in the first
half of the 20th century.It was the centre of many campaigns of civil
disobedience to promote workers' r ights civi l r ights and pol i t ical
independence. With the creation of the state of Gujarat in 1960, Ahmedabad

education, information technology and scientific industries, Ahmedabad
