A massive protest took place on August 25, 2015 in Ahmedabad, as the community of Patidars, or Patels, demanded better opportunities in education and in government jobs.

More than 500,000 people took to the streets calling for a change to the policy of positive discrimination in the form of quotas for lower castes.

The use of "reservation" under the Other Backward Castes (OBC) category in education and government jobs is controversial. Patels argue that they make up 20% of the population but do not get equivalent opportunities in these areas.
