As the name indicates, Patels. There are Muslim Patels (converts from Hinduism) and Hindu Patels. Patel means a village chief.
The cast of Meet the Patels - 2014 includes: Ravi Patel as himself Meredith Philpott as herself
Patels belong to the Upper caste Landlords of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Next after the Brahmins....they are actually the most dominant upper caste in Gujarat. That is the reason why other castes of Gujarat like Jats,Gurjars,Brahmins,Rajputs(Darbar),Lohana sometimes adopt this surname to mingle with the real upper caste Patels. In caste if a Patel is O.B.C or S.C, he is certainly not a real Patel but is misusing the Upper Caste status of The Patels.
patel's are from India but India has many many dialects, so it would depend on what area they are from.
Patels and Guptas are the merchant communities from Gujarat....but they are not related..Patels,although the forward castes in Gujarat,belong to the Shudra varna while Guptas belong to the higher Vaishya varna
Oh, isn't that a lovely question! While I don't have the exact number of Patels in the US, I can tell you that the Patel community is a vibrant and wonderful part of our diverse country. Each Patel brings their own unique colors to the beautiful tapestry of America, just like how each brushstroke adds depth to a painting. Keep embracing the beauty of diversity around you, my friend.
Patel is a common Indian name, like "Smith" or "Jones" in the U.S. "At the beginning of 'A Wife's Story,' the narrator is offended by "Patel jokes"---jokes about people from India---in Glengarry Glen Ross, a play by the abrasive contemporary American playwright David Mamet."
No. It has never been a Brahmin surname. It is isolated to the state of Gujarat. Many lower castes have adopted it. Many use it to hide their true caste. Many use it also to ingrtiate themselves with upper castes. Generally, Patels belong to the schedule tribes, backward class, and some Muslims have adopted it as well. They then make distinctions within their group based on where their family land was from. So coming from a certain district might make them seem higher than the Patels who come from another ragion. In any case they are not and have never been Brahmins despite their duplicity in having others believe they might have been or are.
Shivani is not an idiot. She is the sweetest girl I have ever known. She is the best person in the whole wide world! My role model, my inspiration, she is the best. All the Shivani Patels in this world rock!
The name Patel is the most common name in India (like 'Smith' in the U.S.). It would be impossible to estimate how many people in the world have Patel as a last name.
Before they were kings .Now they are Patels ,land lords and traders ...absolutely they belong to Kshatriya community . Means subcaste of Kshatriyas ......Even they are using verma,Patel and Raju with their names .Now a days they are like a reddys ,velamas in Andhrapradesh.
Dev Patel was born into a Hindu family. I may not know what his religious views are, but he is a Hindu by birth.
