What is the history of the Khimji family in Oman?

The Khimji family's history in Oman dates back to 1870 when patriarch Kimji Ram Dass arrived at the port of Sur from India. Ram Dass established a business group that has now continued into its sixth generation, with Anil Khimji representing the fourth generation as an Omani citizen and family historian. The family has maintained strong ties in Oman through multiple generations, expressing gratitude to both former and current sultans for their generosity toward the family and the broader Indian diaspora. This 150-year legacy represents the enduring connection between India and Oman, which now celebrates 70 years of diplomatic relations.
