<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;Makrani&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang-gu|મકરાણી}}, [[Balochi language|Balochi]]: {{nastaliq|مکرانی}}) are a Muslim community mainly found in the Indian state of [[Gujarat]]. They are said to be descendants of [[Baloch people|Baloch]] mercenary soldiers who were brought to Gujarat during the [[Mughal Empire]] reign. The name &quot;Makrani&quot; comes from the [[Makran]] region of [[Balochistan]] where the Makranis are said to have originally came from. Many Makranis today have adopted local [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] culture and also speak the [[Gujarati language]]. Although, a small minority of Makranis live in [[Ahmedabad]] and many of them have migrated to other states in [[India]] such as [[Uttar Pradesh]] to look for work, the majority of Indian Makranis reside in [[Junagadh]].<br /> <br /> == See also==<br /> <br /> *[[Baluch people|Baluch]]<br /> *[[Baloch (Gujarat)|Sulaymani Baloch]]<br /> *[[Makrani people]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{Indian Muslim}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Social groups of Gujarat]]<br /> [[Category:Muslim communities of Gujarat]]<br /> [[Category:Baloch diaspora in India]]</div>
