Yes,It is very correct to affirm that the surname Patel has been phenomenally carried by various castes across various regions of India....These castes may be either Brahmins,Kshtriyas, Vaishyas or Shudras...If u discuss the total number of Patels in the state of Gujarat( better call it the state of Patels),u will be amazed to note that besides the main Patels( or Patidars),several other caste groups of Gujarat viz. the Brahmins,Jats and Gurjars ( so-called Kshtriyas), Vaishyas ( may be Gupta, Agarwal or Marwaris) sometimes carry this great surname in and outside Gujarat....In Gujarat itself,some shudra castes adopted this surname to raise their standards in some pseudo way.....Outside Gujarat,u may find Patils using the surname Patel in Maharastra along with other 96 kuli Marathas, Khandayats and Aghrias doing the same in Orissa,Gurjars and Jats doing the same in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh respectively,Some Kapu Reddys honouring themselves with the surname Patel and Some Lodhis and Kurmis also are found with the same surname in the northern India....The Lingayats of Karnataka,and Jats of Haryana also sometimes use this second largest surname of India....
