S.V Patel

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, often referred to as the “Iron Man of India,” was a pivotal figure in the Indian independence movement and the subsequent unification of the country. Born on October 31, 1875, Patel’s leadership was instrumental in persuading over 500 princely states to join the Indian Union, a monumental task that earned him the title of the “Bismarck of India.” As India’s first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, he played a crucial role in shaping the newly independent nation’s political landscape. Patel’s vision and determination were key in maintaining national unity and integrating the diverse regions into a single, cohesive entity. His legacy endures in modern India, symbolizing strength, resilience, and the power of unity.
