Patels are now demanding affirmative action and classification as Other Backward Classes (OBCs):
so that they are entitled to quotas in state-run education centres and in government jobs.

OBC refers to the castes - in the middle of the Hindu caste hierarchy -
who do not face so much exclusion or isolation in society :
but have been traditionally socially and economically disadvantaged.

Gujarat has been particularly alert to incidents of violence since 2002 when religious riots left at least 1,000 people dead,
most of them Muslims.....

[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]As more and more people sought fewer available government and university positions, we witnessed the unedifying (and unwittingly hilarious) spectacle of castes fighting with each other to be declared backward: the competitive zeal of the Meena and the Gujjar communities in Rajasthan, castes not originally listed as OBCs, to be deemed more backward than each other would be funny if both sides weren't so deadly serious.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Authorities detained a firebrand young leader of the Patel caste in the Indian state of Gujarat as his supporters gathered for a rally.
Hardik Patel, 22, has led huge protests on behalf of the community and had planned to march from Surat to Ahmedabad.
Mobile internet services have also been suspended across Gujarat.
