A large region of western central India constituted what was known as Gurjardesh whose focal points were Ujjain, Abu and Pattan. This kingdom in medieval times included wester U P, Haryana ,Punjab ,Pakistan,Rajsthan, Gujarat,North Western Madhya Pradesh and Northern Maharashtra.This fact of history is corroborated by legendry British explorer Colonel James Todd in the 18th century who was discreditted in Britain for giving a glorious and factual account of Indian history in his epic Annals of Rajputana. Therefore, the truth lies somewhere between the comments of Mr Nagraj and this article. There is definitely a mix of Kshatriyas(Gurjars) of this region and Chalukyas of southern Maharashtra and Karnataka to form the present lot of the people of Gujarat. Patels too may not have been spared of this demographic churning .

earlier Gujarat was called as lata desh or latta desh up to 12th century the rulers of lata desh were rashtrakutas and they are kannadigas  Patel word derived from patti pattila patela now Patel .in Karnataka large number of people use surname as patels.after the gurjars came to latta desh and conqured it and called it as gujarath.several places in gujarath are kannada name for example . dandi means near to ocean malegov mountain region baradapalli became baroda likewise.hence patels are kannadigas upto 12th century the language of the gujarath was kannada. now they are speaking gujarathi.

Dosti karo Patel se or jiyo jindgi Esh se,
Patel ki yari or sher ki sawari koi bacho ka khel nahi,
Patel ki boli or banduk ki goli hamesha powerful.
Kuch bhi karne ka par Patel ka ego hurt nai karne ka.
