Any body know where exactly the towns named "Lavu" and "Kedu" located in
Southern Russia? I heard that that's where the Leva and Kadva Patels
inherited (migrated) from. How many centuries ago?

Any comments or feed back appreciated.

regards,
mp

I doubt it. It is just a coincidence. Patel was a term that came
into use early in this century. A Kanbi (sharecropper) became a
Patidar, if he had land.

Here is what my friend had to say about origin of patels.

------ Forwarded from Prakash Patel

'Levu' & 'Karad' are two towns very nearby to each other somewhere in
the Gujaranwala district (now in Pakistan). And that Leuva & Kadva
Patidars happen to be coming from there.

I don't know much more & whether this is true or not -- but just
a thought.

Cordially,
Prakash J. Patel

The Kunbi or Patidar have been in Gujarat for a long time, thus is
impossible for "Leva" and "Kadva" villages to have been outside of
Gujarat and its vicinity.

There is an inscription of the Maitraka kings of Valabhi mentioning
a Kautumbika i.e. Kunbi. The term simply implies a farmer
(not necessarily a sharecropper).

There is a traditional account mentioning their origin from the vicinity
of a village 5 kos south of Siddhapur. It is said that the two
communities
were created by Lav and Kush (sons of Lord Ram). However it is much
more likely that that the names are derived from the names of specific
villages or regions.

Lord RAM has two sons 1. Lav and Kush. Kadava patel are descendants of kush Clan and leva patel are descendants of Lav clan.
