Political thinkers of modern India have thought of State and State-individual relationships in a variety of ways and the concept of ‘Integral Humanism’ seems to be the cornerstone of Indian political thought. Intellectual discourses have been written about Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Gandhi and Nehru but Patel has often been ignored. In the evolution of the Indian political thought process, Vallabhbhai Patel stands out, says Sikata Panda in her book ‘Political Ideas of Vallabhbhai Patel’. The book enquires into his political values taking into account Rights and Liberty on the one hand and Equality and Justice on the other.

Sardar Patel dominated the Indian political scene from 1917 to 1950 and dedicated himself to the freedom struggle and reorganised the Indian National Congress. After Independence, he managed sensitive portfolios such as Home and the States. Following the Partition, he restructured the bureaucracy and integrated the princely States. Patel laid the foundation of political democracy by being an important member in the drafting of the Indian Constitution. Thus, he emerged an astute leader and a sagacious statesman acknowledged as the ‘Iron Man’ and a founder of modern India.

Importance of Vallabhbhai Patel The book traces the life of Patel in a succinct manner. Patel was born on October 31, 1875 in the influential Patidar community as the fourth child to Ladbha and Jhaveribhai. Married at an early age, he matriculated and cleared his law examination much later. He became a successful lawyer from Godhra and then Borsad, but he decided to go to London and become a barrister.

To quote Patel, “I came from a middle class family. My father lived a humble and pious life and died in the temple he loved. He had no means to enable me to fulfill my ambitions. I realised finally that if I wanted to go to England. I had to earn money for myself. I, therefore, studied very earnestly for the law examination and resolved firmly to save sufficient money for a visit to England.” He finished his LL.B from the Middle Temple, England in June 1912 in a record two-and-a-half years and returned to India with ‘a lot of confidence, cynical attitude and a rational mindset’.
