&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;It is a well known fact that Gujarati men, specially the Patels, continually mistreat and disrespect their wives (Patelianis).&amp;nbsp; One fine day, (it happened to be the 14th day of February) one brave Patelani, having had enough &quot;torture&quot; by her husband, finally chose to rebel by beating him up with a Velan (rolling pin used to prepare&amp;nbsp;chapattis).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div _yuid=&quot;yui_3_1_1_7_129797640601550&quot;&gt;&lt;span _yuid=&quot;yui_3_1_1_7_129797640601549&quot; style=&quot;color: #c20000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span _yuid=&quot;yui_3_1_1_7_129797640601548&quot; mce_style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt; color: #c20000; font-family: Verdana;&quot; style=&quot;color: #c20000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Yes....the same Velan which she used daily, to make chapattis for him.... only this time, instead of the dough, it was the husband who was flattened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;This was a momentous occasion for all Gujarati women and a revolt soon spread, like wild fire, with thousands of housewives beating up their husbands with the Velan.&amp;nbsp; There was an outburst of moaning &quot;chapatti-ed&quot; husbands all over Anand and Amdavad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1297976419_2&quot;&gt;Patel&lt;/span&gt; men-folk quickly learnt their lesson and started to behave more respectfully to&amp;nbsp;their Patelanis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Thereafter, on 14th February every year, the womenfolk of &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1297976419_3&quot; mce_style=&quot;cursor: hand; border-bottom: #366388 2px dotted;&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: #366388 2px dotted; cursor: hand;&quot;&gt;Gujarat&lt;/span&gt; would beat up their husbands, to commemorate that eventful day - the wives having the satisfaction of beating up their husbands with the Velan and the men having the supreme joy of submitting to the will of the women they loved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span _yuid=&quot;yui_3_1_1_7_129797640601547&quot; style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;&quot;&gt;Soon the Gujju men realised that in order to avoid this ordeal they needed to present gifts to their wives....they brought flowers and sweets.&amp;nbsp; This is how the tradition - Velan time - began.&lt;br /&gt;
