Poem by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Hindi
Answers
Lohe se tha jiska tan,
desh prem me dooba mann.
Dekh ke jisko dushman kaanpe,
dahaad thi jaise ho koi sher,
naam tha unka Vallabh bhai patel.
Unhone toda angrejo ka abhimaan,
Sbne 'Sardaar' lagakar kiya samman.
har aandolan me wo the sath,
maan gaye dushman nahi banegi ab baat.
Bharat ke up'pradhan mantri ye the,
nahi mante kbhi haar ye the,
desh ke liye hathiyaar ye the
veer jawano sa unme tha dum,
ye nahi the kisi se kum.
naam ye apna amar kr d gye,
karmo se apne ek misaal kayam kr gye.

Patel was raised in the countryside of state of Gujarat.[3] He was a successful lawyer. He subsequently organised peasants from Kheda, Borsad, and Bardoli in Gujarat in non-violent civil disobedience against the British Raj, becoming one of the most influential leaders in Gujarat. He was appointed as the 49th President of Indian National Congress, organising the party for elections in 1934 and 1937 while promoting the Quit India Movement.
As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India, Patel organised relief efforts for refugees fleeing to Punjab and Delhi from Pakistan and worked to restore peace. He led the task of forging a united India, successfully integrating into the newly independent nation those British colonial provinces that had been "allocated" to India.[4] Besides those provinces that had been under direct British rule, approximately 565 self-governing princely states had been released from British suzerainty by the Indian Independence Act of 1947. Threatening military force, Patel persuaded almost every princely state to accede to India. His commitment to national integration in the newly independent country was total and uncompromising, earning him the sobriquet "Iron Man of India".[5] He is also remembered as the "patron saint of India's civil servants" for having established the modern all-India services system. He is also called the "Unifier of India".[6] The Statue of Unity, the world's tallest statue, was dedicated to him on 31 October 2018 which is approximately 182 metres in height
