Rainbow Public School,Mysuru. Newsletter Issue :November 2019 National Unity Day - Sardar Valabh Bhai Patel

Sardar Patel with his priceless intellect and military forces in an absolutely perfect chemistry with frank diplomacy , made the national integration a possibility. This ‘Patron Saint’ made the impossible a reality. Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel was one of the important social and political leaders of India. He played an important role in India's struggle for freedom. He is believed to be born on 31 October 1875 at Nadiad, Gujarat .

Due to his leadership qualities and ability to connect to masses, he has been given the title of ‘Sardar’ Patel, meaning ‘Leader’ Patel. Born in a peasant family ,Vallabh used to accompany his father in the fields . His father earlier served in the Queen Jhansi’s Army . Coming from such a family, Vallabh always showed a soft corner to the poor.

He did his matriculation at the age of 22. He seemed to be an ordinary person to everyone around him, but had strong will power. Patel always seemed to have had a propensity to sacrifice his own cherished goals to make others happy. He nursed an ambition to study law in London to become a barrister, and having saved enough by dint of hard work, applied for passport and other travel documents. Due to a quirk of fate perhaps, all these papers were delivered to his elder brother, Vithalbhai Patel, under the common initials V.J.Patel. In deference to Vithalbhai's pleadings, the Sardar gave up his own ambition,and allowed his elder brother in his place to go to London for studying law. However the Sardar was able to fulfill his own ambition, he completed his 36-month course in just 30 months and became one of the most successful barristers of India.

Sardar Patel lost his wife who was ailing for sometime, while he was arguing a case before a court. A note containing the news of his wife's demise was passed on to him, which he read calmly, then folded and kept in his pocket, and continued the cross examination he was conducting. He concluded his arguments, and went on to win the case, and only then broke the sad news to others in the court. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel saw that India with its diversity in regions ,religions,languages need a stronger Bureaucratic set up. The then Indian Civil Services Code ( ICS) by the Britishers that suited them were modified by Patel and a modern Indian Administrative Services (IAS) with bureaucratic structure that suited the Indian Interests was formed. Being done such a great thing he is justly called as Patron Saint for “Indian Civil Servants” for forming a new All India Services.

It was in 1991 when Sardar Patel was conferred Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honor,posthumously. Thank you Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel! Thank you for giving us the United India we have today !
