Raj Patel

A male family member of another, more successful Indian hotel owner hired to basically keep an eye on the hotel(s) but has no real grasp of the business nor any real mental capacity to ever become a successful owner in his own right. The Indian version of a loser.
"Habib has been running the hotel for his brother in law for 10 years, but he is such a Raj Patel that his future is not likely to ever amount to more than that."
