The caste has several subdivisions, and these subdivisions differ from each other in terms of their origin and in terms of rank and of social structure. 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 class in Gujarat or elsewhere.
The Lewa Patels of central Gujarat are a global diaspora and one of the most visible and affluent caste groups in India, and some of India’s wealthiest families, such as the Premjis, carry the patidari lineage.
60% of U.S. hotel and motel owners are Gujaratis, of which many have their last name as Patels.
Mukesh and Anil Ambani’s mother, although not a Lewa, is of patidari origin, and the daughter of Karsanbhai Patel of Nirma (a Kadva) has married a Lewa. Azim Premji's son Rishad Premji’s mother-in-law is a Lewa, and his father-in-law is most likely an Anavil Brahmin.
Anavil Brahmins in fact are comparable to the Patidars and are to be bracketed with them.
