Many may not know why he earned the sobriquet of the Iron Man - he was a man of principles as well as a fierce nationalist. His philosophy always was ‘nation first’. His success in integrating around 565 princely states after independence earned for him the sobriquet of ‘Iron Man’. His policy ensured that the princely states had no other option but to merge with India.
This day was, till last year, identified as the day Indira Gandhi was shot dead.
There is no dispute that both the names of Vallabhbhai Patel and Indira Gandhi bring up memories and the Nation owes a lot to them but, dedicating a statue to the Sardar would be a fitting tribute to one of the founding fathers of our country who had direct roles to play in our freedom.
It is strange that no political party has, so far, harbored any idea to honor the Iron Man who had been entrusted by Mahatma Gandhi to organize the historical Dandi march which he successfully did.
Full credit should now go to Narendra Modi to revive our glorious past.
Building such a monument would take decades and would need crores of rupees and, the necessary funds could come from the uncovering of black money stashed away in foreign banks by the rich and famous.
