History:
The surname Gulani, which is common among Sindhi people, probably spread and changed because of major migrations. The Partition of India in 1947 caused a huge, forced migration. Many Sindhi Hindus, including those with this surname, were forced to leave Sindh (now in Pakistan). They resettled in different parts of India, like Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. This dispersal certainly affected how this surname was distributed. Also, voluntary migrations for economic reasons, both within India and to other countries, likely contributed to the spread of this surname. This resulted in its presence in various regions and possibly some changes in how it is used or in the cultural practices linked to it.
