Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel: Nation Builder and a True Democrat

“Our mutual conflicts and internecine quarrels and jealousies have in the past been the cause of our downfall and our falling victims to foreign dominations a number of times. We cannot afford to fall into those errors and traps again.” – Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

- Dr. Ravindra Kumar

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is called the maker of united India. Sardar Patel, in his persona, possessed so many characteristics of which commitment to discipline, firm determination, management and taking quick and appropriate decisions to resolve problems were the foremost. These characteristics made the Sardar a matchless administrator, leader, organizer, and statesman. He was also unparalleled for his exceptional way of working. It was due to this that Sardar Patel completed the enormous task of merging more than five hundred fifty princely states into the Indian Union in a very short period.
