The Patels, primarily associated with the agricultural and business sectors in India, are generally considered to be part of the broader OBC (Other Backward Classes) category, though their social status can vary regionally. While historically they may have been viewed as higher in social hierarchy compared to some lower castes, the dynamics are complex and can differ across states and communities. In some areas, Patels may have socioeconomic advantages over certain lower castes, but the relationships between castes are influenced by numerous factors, including regional history and economic status.

What caste are Patel from?
Patels belong to the Upper caste Landlords of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Next after the Brahmins....they are actually the most dominant upper caste in Gujarat. That is the reason why other castes of Gujarat like Jats,Gurjars,Brahmins,Rajputs(Darbar),Lohana sometimes adopt this surname to mingle with the real upper caste Patels. In caste if a Patel is O.B.C or S.C, he is certainly not a real Patel but is misusing the Upper Caste status of The Patels.

There were five layers in the Caste system in India. At the bottom were the 'untouchables.' These were janitors, street cleaners, shoe makers, etc. Above them were the Shudras, who were the servants of the next 3 layers. Above them were the merchants and landowners known as Vaisyas. Above them were the warriors, the Kshatriyas. Finally, at the top were the Brahmins, who were the priests.

What are the 6 caste of Brahmas?
I think you are referring to the four (not six) basic castes of Hinduism. The top caste is the Brahmins; in traditional Hinduism, they were the educated elite and believed to be more advanced in their spirituality. The next caste is the K'shatriyas (who traditionally tended to be involved with the military); Vaishyas (the business class), and the Shudras (laborers, servants, etc). At the very bottom are the people formerly called "untouchables" but more often called Dalits.
Can untouchables be reborn into a higher caste?
Yes they can. It purely depends on them. If they procure Punya(good fortune) and perform Dharma or Dhana(helping deserving poors) they will take birth as Brahmins in their next kalpa. Jai Sri Ram!
Where were the untouchable in India's caste system?
The Indian Caste System is the traditional organization of South Asian, particularly Hindu, society into a hierarchy of hereditary groups called castes or jatos. In broad outline, marriage occurs only within caste (endogamy), caste is fixed by birth, and each caste is associated with a traditional occupation, such as weaving or barbering. Hindu religious principles underlay the caste hierarchy and limit the ways that castes can interact. The caste system is connected to the Hindu concept of the four varnas, which order and rank humanity by innate spiritual purity. The highest varna is the Brahmins, or priests. Next comes the Kshatriyas, the warriors, and then the Vaishyas, the merchants. The lowest varna is the Shudras, consisting of labourers, artisans and servants who do work that is ritually unclean. Contact between varnas, and particularly the sharing of food and water, must be limited to avoid pollution of higher, purer individuals by lower, more unclean ones
