	Description:		There’s a word in Gujarati that one of Hardik Patel’s detractors used to describe his politics. Sagvadiyo dharam. The kind of politics where anything goes, where everything and its opposite is used at the same time as long as it serves a purpose. It’s like everything else in Gujarat – full of contradictions. Like the food truck in the park opposite Ahmedabad’s Karnavati Club run by a sardar who was raised in Gujarat. That offers the ‘Group Paratha’ - a new age masala mix of ingredients that seem to contradict each other but in Gujarat turn into a perfect marriage – onion, paneer bhurji, paan and cheese. Sagvadiyo.
