Answer 2

During his childhood, there were many incidents that made him earn the reputation of a strong man. Once he developed a boil in his armpit and during those days in his village, the people used to go to a man who can treat this. This man used to heat an iron rod and put in the boil area and that is how he used to treat boil. Nevertheless, in the case of Patel he was little reluctant as he was very young. But the young Patel asked him to do it fast as the rod will become cold if they delay. Then he did not wait for him to do that lashing and he did it by himself. That was when young Patel stunned everyone in the village. He was tough and he was hard working. He borrowed books from lawyers and within a time limit of two years he completed his studies. He was physically very strong from his tender gaze. According to many people he used to fast twice a month and those two days long fast that included refraining from food and water. His strong character was seen in those days by many people. His mental strength came when he was in England and he finished his studies in just a few years. 


When his beloved wife despised, he was handed a note and he was in the courtroom fighting a case. When Patel came back to India it was his strong will that made him what people call him iron man. When everything fails, the British government decided to pay a policy in which all the tiny states which were more than 500 would be freed independently. Although it was seen as freedom first, but Sardar understood their tactic and then it was Gandhiji who gave him the responsibility of unifying India. Then Patel started his plan and he used Saam-Daam-Dand-Bhed’ that means friendship, give-and-take, punishment, and divide-and-rule.

The British were forced to withdraw everything from India and that is when India became united.
