Many people believe that Patidar and Patel are same word. The word patidar is a caste indicator, whereas Patel was not a caste indicator but an indicator of designation. The word ‘Patel’ is derived from the original Sanskrit word Pattlik. Years ago, the copies of the sale or mortgage documents of the village’s fields or homesteads were kept with the main person in the village. That person was called a “Pattlik”. Based on their Generosity, Honesty, Righteousness and truth the kings entrusted administration to the Kanbis. Veer Vikram invited the Kurmi people from Punjab in order to make the region of Avanti ploughable. Because the king had faith in the hard work and life-style of the Kurmis. The king gave the title of “Patel” to these Kurmis. Over time, the population grew and became known as Patels. Patels came from Malwa to Gujarat.
