At 5 am the sun already risen in the eastern part of india but places like Gujarat are still in darkness. Why?

Because the earth rotates counter-wise to the east. This makes the countries located further to the east have sunrise sooner than the one located on their west. Since Gujarat is located on the west side of India, this makes it take longer to get sunrise than the east side of India.
