I feel there is definitely an element of generalization and survival bias in this article. There has been a recent Patidar reservation agitation [1] in Gujarat, India. The Patidar community, people with the surname Patel (Patels are one of the communities that is mentioned in the article extensively), are losing opportunities in education and government jobs due to the reservations in Gujarat and are calling for reforms with reservations. One of the reasons being the survival bias of the Patel community, that everyone generalizes the community to be very entrepreneurial and successful while ones that are not so fortunate in the community are marginalized with lack of opportunity.
