Hardik Patel (C), an organiser of the Patidar community, gathers with group members for a rally demanding "Other Backward Class" (OBC) status in Ahmedabad on August 23, 2015. OBC members have urged the Gujarat government not to grant the Patel, or Patidar, community the status, which grants official protection of the members' social and educational development.
