Patel has many meanings 1. Translation in Sanskrit: Patel - farmer
2. In Hindi: Patel - village leader 3. Patel - Chief of
village. Surname originated from
Patel surname is the most widely used name today. Originally the
Kurmis of Punjab, after having settled in
at that time, The Solanki ruler allocated land equivalent to one village
to each family for cultivation. It is concluded from the books kept
by the "BAROTHS" and the "VAHIVANCHAS" that the PATIDAR are
originally
from
Around AD 1000, the Badhshah of Afghanistan attacked and conquered
Afghan king and his soldiers and to save the women. The people who left
Punjab were KANBI from Leava and KARAD villages of the GUJARANWALA
district (presently in
of the KANBI caste in the villages of
bullock carts. At that time, Marvad was ruled by PARMAR kings and the
fame of Rajah Bhoj was widely known. This was the reason our forefathers
were attracted to that region. At that time Marvad was very densely
populated and it was not possible to acquire enough land. After staying
for a short period in Marvad, they left for Khambhat (Kheda District) on
hearing that there was uncultivated land available and this brought them
to
equivalent to about one GAM (village) was granted to each family and the
Kanbi people settled on this land. The Kanbis being hard workers managed
to cultivate the land with great benefits. It was decided that a twelfth
portion of the crop would be given to the King in return for the land.
But the cost of collecting this twelfth part from each farmer was very
high so the king drew up an agreement and appointed a headman for each
village. These headmen controlled the farmers and collected crops from
them for the king. The agreement of the land was kept in the custody of
the elders in the family of the headman. The records of the kingdom and
of the crops were kept on the PAT (record or log book) and the person
who entered and kept these records was known as "PATLIKH". Patlikh
was
shortened to PATAL and then became PATEL. The people that came from the
village Leava became known as LEAVA KANBI and those that came from the
village KARAD became KARADVA KANBI. The Karadva was shortened to KADVA
KANBI. The Kadva Kanbi settled in the Northern part of
Leava Kanbi settled around Khambhat. The people who settled in Gujarat
were very industrious and intelligent and became farmers and in a short
period of time,
and the kingdoms changed and so did the portions of the crops given to
the kings. The main industry and income of the kingdoms was agriculture
and the kingdoms were sustained on the income from the farms and so the
payments were increased to one sixth part of all crops cultivated. Then
Khambat became the kingdom of the Mauryavansi and the crops collected
from the farmers was different each year. Between A.D. 1300 -1400, the
king of Delhi Allaudin Khilji and his soldiers captured this part of
SUBAS (clerks) that the strength of the farmers was in their wealth and
so squeeze as much wealth as possible from the farmers without making
them completely destitute. Leave only enough for the farmers to sow the
following year's crops. Fifty percent of the crops were collected in
payment from each farmer leaving them extremely poor. Allaudin Khilji
ruled
of
improve farming, he chose the best farmer from each village and handed
those farmers the land. In return he asked the chosen farmers to improve
the farming, provide security for that village and make the village
prosperous and pay the kingdom on fixed cash base (BANDHI AVAK). This
way the tradition of giving part of the crop to the kingdom was
abolished and a permanent propriety of the land was granted. Whoever had
the propriety of the land were called PATEDAR which changed to KANBI
PATIDAR and then became PATEL PATIDAR. This way once again the PATEL
PATIDAR became the owners of each village. From then on the Patel
Patidar have maintained themselves as Patidar and have cultivated land
by hiring farm labour. Thus the villages of
once again. Around A.D. 1600 Akbar conquered
measured by the "TODARMAL" and established the "VINDHOTI"
system (land
tax). This is today's "MAYSHUL" system. They slowly became over
populated and this brought shortage of houses and agricultural land. In
the beginning each family had about 5000 "VIGA" land but when that
land
was passed on to the successive generations, the share to each family
became smaller and smaller which in turn made the families poorer.
Between A.D. 1820 and 1830 some of the poor Patidar families decided to
move towards
densely populated villages. (The railway first came to India in 1860 and
the first rail route was between Bombay and Thane.) The Kanbi Patidar
were hard workers and so in a short time started to live comfortably and
happily
