shardar vallabhai Patel architect of modern india
Answers
Once in a generation, there comes an intellectual leader and visionary, who aims for the skies, feet firmly on ground, mind made of diamond and fist made of iron, with sheer dedication and focus which might put Eagles also to shame.
One such visionary was Sardar Patel. Unfortunately, India has forgotten this gem because the young generation of India only know him as a freedom fighter and an associate of Gandhi-Nehru.
Let me take this opportunity to share some facts about Sardar Patel and what makes him so special. I will share 5 facts of Patel which I hope will give an overall picture of his capabilities including his political, intellectual, military and non-political sides:
-Political popularity among Congressmen
-Role in political integration of India
-Intellectual skills applied to military
-Role in Constitution
-Role in White RevolutionThere are many reasons why Patel has become a silent icon. One of the main reasons is that he was a man of action for whom work was primary while photo shoots & public appearances were secondary. To give a simple analogy, we get mesmerized during the inauguration function of a building, we often forget to give due credit to the engineer behind the construction and instead end up admiring the charismatic chief guest who cuts the ribbon.
