That googly-eyed ‘Trash’ Patel is back at it spreading lies through the Fox propaganda network. ‘Trash’ isn’t even qualified to be a garbage collector!

Get the ‘Trash’ Patel mug.A motel that has been bought out by people of East Indian descent, especially owned by someone often (but not always) with the surname of Patel, due to most (but not all) Patels being part of the Indian caste for owning land, and also because it rhymes (Jat Motel doesn't have the same ring to it), most often by buying out a defunct motel location "as-is" and making no efforts to improve the property after acquisition.
Normally this should be insignificant, but if you land a cheap motel in a state of disrepair and just barely meeting habitability standards and/or has bad housekeeping, there's a good chance your motel is Indian-owned (but as repeatedly emphasized, not always). "Patel Hotel" can also be used when applicable to a hotel (especially the OYO Hotel franchise).

I tried to be open-minded when I saw a statue of Ganesha while checking in, but the towels are brownish gray, the bed has a popped-out spring held in place by duct tape, half of the hallway lights are burnt out, and getting woken up by a cockroach crawling on my face are facts too hard to ignore the fact that I accidentally reserved a Patel Motel.

Get the khelan patel mug.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.
