Vallabhbhai jhaverbhai Patel, popularly known as Sardar Patel, was the first deputy prime Minister of India. He was a barrister of repute and a man who played a leading role in the creation of India as we know it today. His integrity and character earned him the title ‘iron Man of India’ as he left no stone unturned to unify India into one nation through excellent statesmanship, leadership, negotiating powers and sheer determination. His commitment to a unified India is the reason India’s flag flies high as the tricolour today where all faiths, castes and creeds enjoy a uniquely harmonious culture.
