    • 2002, Rafiq Zakaria, Communal Rage in Secular India:
      This time there was just silence. An extraordinary response from a community that prides itself on its ethnic identity. What on earth had happened to the Gujjus? The generous Gujjus? Where had fellow-feeling gone?
    • 2012, Ashok Ferrey, Love in the Tsunami, page 19:
      For their dussehra festival in the month before New Year, Gujjus all over India gathered at the crossroads of their villages: they formed concentric circles, men and women, presenting sticks to each other in a courtly and ceremonial dance.
