The
Leuva Patidar community of Surat, Navsari, and Valsad
districts of southern part of Gujarat has a history,
which goes back to several centuries.
These Patidars and their descendents residing all
over the world and especially United States of America
are compassionate, hard working and very resourceful
people.
These Patidars are involved in various enterprises
including but not limited to Lodging, Engineering,
Medicine, Science and service related industries in
major metropolitan cities as well as small towns of
America.
In spite of being relocated in this foreign country
they have not forgotten their roots, culture and the
rich heritage, hence they have been actively involved
in local and national organizations which promotes
cultural, religious, sports important festivals and
other functions.
In other words, they have brought their Gujarati to
America and I feel they will be able to pass on their
cherished culture to their future generation.
