The Iron man of India Sardar Patel's birthday aniversary is being observed. He played a significant role in unification of India. Unfortunately, he died very soon and the nation was deprived of his talent.
He was one of the most respected and among the best administrators this country ever had. My personal opinion is he would have done far better as PM of this country.
Any way, he was Deputy P..M. Even if were P.M., he had only short life. after his demise, Nehru would be promoted as P.M. Any way, Nehru and Patel were colleagues and they worked as a team. We have gratitude for both leaders for their contribution to modern India.
