Six people are dead and dozens injured in Gujarat. Public property has been destroyed and the army has been called in to restore order. The Prime Minister and various other leaders have called for calm. What Started As a students' Movement to the Patel Community Under the Demand Reservation for OBC category has snowballed into a Violent Agitation State-wide.
And yet, the Leader of the Movement, 22-year-old Hardik Patel, insists his supporters are not Violence resorting to the Ones.
The Patel Community in Gujarat has been seen Always As Influential Economically and socially - by journalists and ACADEMICS Alike.
But the question that is up Crops naturally, does really Need Such an Influential Community reservations in government Jobs and Educational Institutions ?
If the answer is' yes', then the Patels' Can Agitation Based purely on economic reasons BE to BE said.
But a Negative reply paves the Way for Other Possibilities several, including doubts about the Agitation Sponsored being engineered by some or for others altogether a different Purpose.
Suspicions abound
The Most Common Suspicion is that the people who Unrest has been instigated by some valid Excuses Need to remove Chief Minister Anandiben Patel, who is desperately trying to Come out of the shadow of Her predecessor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi .
But, then Again, if the people who want to smoothly installed Her So Get RID of Her, So they Can do without an alibi for Any Real Need.
Playing with Patel Sentiments is a game Too Risky Plan for Removing the Goal of the CM , especially at a time when Gujarat is a Series of HEADING for Local Elections Civic body.
Adverse results in the image of the ruling BJP Dent these could severely As well As the Prime Minister. This is why this Suspicion seems rather unlikely.
More significantly, a Demand for Reservation by a Community known to BE Financially well-off and socially Influential Actually Shakes the Foundation of the Tall Claims of Gujarat having been developed during Modi's TENURE As CM.
Modi's critics As well As the General people could ASK - 'What is the Economically Most Influential Community Development All about if the government has to Seek reservations in Jobs'?
The affluence of the Patels
Patels of All Denominations Have All Sectors of the Economy in virtually dominated Gujarat , ranging from polishing to Diamond Textiles, Crushing Groundnut, cotton Ginning, Pharmaceuticals and Real estate.
Political Parties could rely on Always Patel of Business Houses for Cash at Bagfuls Just a FEW hours' Notice.
Even in hard times, in the Diamond polishing Patels Trade could BE Trusted to splurge Rs 4 crore to Buy the Infamous suit Bearing pinstripes of the PM's name, and Save his Sinking image.
Then, there are Reports of a Diamond Merchants' Buying Spree Pushing up Property Prices in Surat, and of some even gifting Swanky cars to their Employees on Diwali.
Being Just about 15% of Gujarat's total Population, Patels Have Always enjoyed much more than their fair share of being pampered by the Political Parties.
The Demand hardly makes Sense, given the economic and Social Influence of the Community Patel in Gujarat
Though not numerically considered an en bloc votes Bank Populous Enough to BE, BE Patels Have Grown to the Most Influential Community in Gujarat through a Socio-economic Process which took nearly a century.
How the farmers Got Rich
Originally an agrarian community called 'Kanabi', they are known by their caste name Patidar, and still maintain closely knit caste councils. 'Kan' means Grain, So 'Kanabi' literally means Agriculturists ie those deriving livelihood from grains.
Many of them migrated to Gujarat from Mainland Part of the Saurashtra region in the latter 19th century to Work in the Fields of the princely States ruled As Tenants by Local Rajputs.
Since the cultivation of Cash Crops like Groundnut and cotton Part of the 20th century made EARLY much Richer than Patels Other farmers, who mainly belonged to classes Local backwards.
Implementation of Land Reforms by then-Chief Minister Uchchhangrai Dhebar Saurashtra in the Patel 1950s made these farmers that the OWNERS of Land Yielded Cash Crops like VAST patches of Groundnut and cotton.
Agricultural Tax-free INCOME being, the Saurashtra Patels invested their Surplus Money to Start Groundnut Oil mills and cotton Ginning mills, thus reaping the Benefits of Additions value, leading to much more Additional Cash.
This was plowed back into Again starting Small and Medium Industries in the region, mainly in FOUNDRIES Industries in Rajkot and Jamnagar brass.
With the Economy growing further, Surplus Money was diverted to Textiles, Pharmaceuticals and Trade in the Industrial corridor of the Diamond polishing Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Surat.
Later on, the Community also diversified into the Real estate Business, with Patels of investing in Large chunks themselves to Land due to increased demands from BE sold As and when new Prices Industries .
The RSS factor
All these Factors nearly conclusively Prove that there is no economic logic behind the Community's Demand for Quotas in Jobs and Professional Courses.
And, more importantly, for the Last Two decades, the Community has been the BJP's Strongest base, providing Logistics , Manpower, Money and huge Infrastructure for All the Extravagant shows of the saffron Party and its 'vibrant' government.
Would the Patels really like to rock their favorite Party's boat at a time when "their Man" is at the Helm of Affairs at the Centre? This Tricky question Can BE Answered by a closer look at the Slogans the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti is using while demanding reservations.
The Second Part of the slogan insists that if Reservation Can not BE given to Patels, then the quota System should BE Abolished altogether - which has been on the not-So-Hidden agenda of the BJP's PARENT Organisation, the RSS.
Such an aspersion appears to BE True if One looks at the Message that Started being Circulated on Social Media within an hour of the End of the Patels' rally . A Message WhatsApp Since circulating on the Evening of 25 August exhorts the recipient to sign a petition Asking the Prime Minister to "remove the caste-Based Reservation System".
Thus, if the Purpose of the rally was to Patel Generate a Nation-wide Debate to Abolish the Reservation System altogether, it has been well served.
Hardik Patel may not even BE Aware that he is being used As a Puppet, but the Sangh Parivar's Hidden agenda for Ending All caste-Based reservations has Come to the Fore.
No Wonder , along with Masks of Sardar Patel and White caps with the Legend "I AM Patidar", some of the Patels also carried triangular saffron flags, possibly to indicate that their umbilical Cord with the BJP's PARENT Organisation has not been Snapped.
Even in Style and modus operandi, the logistics of the Patels' rally had all the similarities with yet another one of the BJP's extravagant shows of strength.
And yet, the Leader of the Movement, 22-year-old Hardik Patel, insists his supporters are not Violence resorting to the Ones.
