Bharuchi Patel - Vohra Patel

History and Origin

The surname Patel is one of the most widely used name today. Originally the Kurmi Kshatriyas of Punjab, after having settled in Gujarat around 1400 A.D. were allocated the uncultivated land in Petlad Taluka by the Solankis, the rulers of Gujarat at the time. The Solanki ruler allocated land equivalent to one village to each Kurmi family for cultivation. In return, the family would pay the ruler a fixed income for a certain period of time, after which, the family would acquire the ownership of the land. The Kurmi caste succeeding in cultivating the land and prospered, later becoming the land-owners. Prior to the introduction of the name Patel in Gujarat, they were known as patidar. Patidar  means "owner of land". ‘PATI’ means land and ‘DAR’ means the person who owns it.

Migration and Diaspora

Many Vohra Patels migrated to African countries, Mumbai, North America, Pakistan, Canada and United Kingdom.^]

• Africa
•  - A large and successful Vohra Patel community is found in Zambia where the first migrants from Bharuch came in the early 1900s. Recently many Vohra Patel families migrated to South Africa, primarily for education.
• Mumbai
• - Many Muslim Patels have for several generations lived in the suburbs of Mumbai(Malad, Goregaon, Jogeshwari) The Patels in Mumbai are generally highly educated, in comparison to the land-owners in their ancestral lands.
• North America
• – Vohra Patels also began to migrate to North America in the early eighties and communities are now found in Chicago, United States and in Toronto, Canada.
• Pakistan
•  - Some members of Vora Patel community migrated to Pakistan after independence and settled in Karachi,Sindh.
• United Kingdom
• - Mostly originally settling in the mill towns of North West England, 25% of the Gujaratis in Britain are now settled in or around London, so that Gujaratis in the capital number some 400,000. Many Vohra Patel moved to London during the early eighties as mills began to shut down during the Thatcher period. There are many positive contributions made by the Gujarati Vohra Patel in Britain. Former British Prime Minister, Baroness Thatcher, pointed out in her message for 'Asian Business', they are "not only helping to bring new life back into the cities, but also into our smaller towns and villages. Gujarati's in Britain have earned a very creditable reputation for being hardworking and ambitious." HRH  Prince Charles too and several other eminent people have praised their achievements. Later generations of the community placed a high value on education, studying at universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and LSE, where Gujarati boys and girls are well represented. However, the community in Britain is coming under scrutiny as they, like many immigrant communities, appear not to have integrated with the indigenous community, or with other communities. They are known to marry within their own community, have their own cemeteries, community centres and mosques. However, this too is changing as some of the initial settlers are returning to Bharuch on retirement or have died, leaving behind more progressive, later generations.

BHARUCH - Bhangyu Bhangyu Toye Bharuch

BHARUCH - Bhangyu Bhangyu Toye Bharuch

Bharuch, formerly known as Broach, is a city at the mouth of the river Narmada in Gujarat in western India. Bharuch is the administrative headquarters of Bharuch District and is a municipality. Being one of the biggest industrial areas including Ankleshwar GIDC, it is at times referred as chemical capital of India. The city of Bharuch and its surroundings have been settled since times of antiquity. It was a ship building centre and sea port in the pre-compass coastal trading routes to points West. Many goods from the Far East (the famed Spice and Silk trade) were shipped there during the annual monsoon winds, making it a terminus for several key land-sea trade-routes. Bharuch was known to the Greeks, the various Persian Empires, in the Roman Republic and Empire, and in other Western centres of civilisation through the end of the European Middle Ages. In the 3rd century, Bharuch port was mentioned as Barugaza. Arab traders entered Gujarat via Bharuch to do business. The British and the Dutch (Valandas) noted Bharuch’s importance and established their business centres here. At the end of the 17th century, it was plundered twice, but resurged quickly. Afterwards, a proverb was composed about it, “Bhangyu Bhangyu Toye Bharuch”. As a trading depot, the limitations of coastal shipping made it a regular terminus via several mixed trade routes of the fabled spice and silk trading between East and West. During the British Raj it was officially known as Broach. PANCHBATI GOLDEN BRIDGE GOLDEN - BRIDGE BHARUCH RAILWAY STATION Bharuch has been the home to the Gujarati Bhargav Brahmin community for ages. The community traces its lineage to Maharshi Bhrigu rishi and Bhagwan Parshuram who is considered to be incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

However the present day Bhargav Brahmins have migrated to Mumbai, Surat, Vadodara, Ahmedbad and other countries like the USA, UK & Australia. Vohra Patel or Vora Patel is an affluent,Sunni Muslim,patidat(land-owning) community, originating from the Patel family of Hindu Kurmi ancestry, originally from Gujarat,India, particularly from the Bharuch District of Gujarat. The United Kingdom is home to the largest population of Vohras outside of Bharuch. Vohras from Bharuch ('Bharuchis') initially settled in the mill towns of Lancashire where many still reside in large numbers. Although primarily situated in the mill towns of Blackburn,Bolton,Lancaster and Preston, there are also large communities in Dewsbury,Leicester, and parts of London. Many of the initial migrant families of the community gained success during the economic prosperity of the textiles industry in North West England and, to this day, retain their wealth through assets. A large number of these affluent families are primarily from Lancashire. Common dishes of Vohras include kichry curry and dal-gosh (lentils with meat) and boiled rice (chaval).
