Originally, the Patidars were a brotherhood of village landholders, and despite the changes that have occurred in modern times, they have retained many of the underlying values of old village patriotism, caste-patriotism, and caste solidarity, and have also retained the personality traits of personal independence and domination over others.
Moreover, by the time of Independence, with caste heroes such as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the helm of Congress Party politics (indeed, a serious contender to Nehru for the post of Prime Minister), Patels had become a national force and the undisputed power-holders in Gujarat.
Their mental and cultural make-up is a curious mixture of feudal mentality and capitalist outlook, marking them out as a very aggressive, patronising, ruthless and achieving caste or class in Gujarat.

Get the Patelled mug.bobby patel is actually an indian even though the name doesnt sound it. hes also known as barry or bob by certain people, he goes jls and is apart of a stupid friend group that are all nitties except for the odd one or two. its surprising how he can even see through his curtain bangs and his hair is longer than most girls. the guy practically lives at hbs and takes his fat android everywhere with him(his password is easy to guess). he has a purple sst on his bitmoji but doesnt own one irl which is a bit weird. im convinced hes gay but hes great for moral support when people are drunk and actually a nice guy. he also stole floppy willy guys habs girlfriend which is great so bobby can stop third wheeling now everytime he goes out
