Shiv Patel. What can we say about this king? This famous influencer is an icon running the streets of Worcester. Don’t play with Shiv Patel because he knows karate and will mess you up. Not only will he steal your girl, he’ll look good while doing it. This soccer-playing prodigy is #11 on the field but he’s #1 in our hearts. If you’re lucky enough to be in this man’s presence, try not to be overwhelmed by his aura.

Patels explicitly describe themselves as a “modern” caste and reveal, in their self-description and practices, an entanglement with terms that we would commonly associate with Western epistemes. Their acquired image as the quintessential modern caste predisposes them, for the most part, to a “severe practicality” in the realms of household and farm economics.
Patels are still driven by a desire to acquire social distinction. As in the past, when the upper strata of Patidars had differentiated themselves from the lower levels by contracting hypergamous marriages. The early Patidar families married their daughters to Anavil Brahmins, the 'old aristocracy' of the area, who were tax collectors for the Mughals before the Marathas came.
