சதார் பட்டேல் இந்திய விரிவாதிக்கத்தின் பிதா மகன்

சதார் பட்டேல் இந்திய விரிவாதிக்கத்தின் பிதாமகன்!

Building of a United India

Soon after the Indian Independence, 565 princely states, some of which were ruled by Maharajas and others by Nawabs started believing they would become independent rulers of their kingdoms like in the pre-British era.  

They argued that the government of free India should treat them as equals. 

It was Sardar Patel’s insight, wisdom and diplomacy that drove sense into the minds of the monarchs who agreed accession to the Indian Republic. 

However there were two rules - the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Nawab of Junagarh- continued to resist. 

Although, the repeated fruitless negotiations pointed to a show might by use of military force the Sardar persisted with his tactful dealings, finally winning over both the rulers without bloodshed.
