Asser Damani Asserwala(Born in Madhapar).

Jivraj Ladha Asser was born in 1884 in Madhapar, Kutch India. Jivraj left India for Africa in early 1913. His son Ramzanali was 3 years old at that time and was left in the custody of his brother Alimohamed Ladha Asser in Mumbai, 67 Marine Drive. In Mombasa, he worked with Rashid Moledina Asser's Company and from there he journeyed to Bukoba. In Bukoba, he worked for a company called ‘Duka Kubwa” delivering essential goods to the German army. In 1916 he suffered from ‘Black Water’, a killer disease at that time and passed away. Jivraj Ladha Asser was the first Asian to be buried in Bukoba. His son, Ramzanali being the only child and the inheritor became an issue as to who should take his custody. Ramzanali’s paternal grandfather of Madhapur and maternal grandfather of Sinugra/Nagalpur organized a meeting to resolve the issue. The paternal grandfather Ladha Asser was the right-hand advisor to Maharao Khengarji, the Maharaja of Kutch while the maternal uncle (mama) Hirji Visram Bandali Nathwani was an appointed counsellor of Sinugra by Maharao Khengarji.
