Between the years 1947 and 1949, 565 princely states were integrated to join the Indian Union in record time.
Four people were at the forefront of the process of building the nation after the British had handed over the reins of the administration to the Indian government. Sardar Patel and along with him were Lord Mountbatten, Jawaharlal Nehru, and V.P. Menon. These were very difficult times as the turmoil of Partition had created bitter memories and an atmosphere of distrust.
Several princely states sat on the fence acceding neither to India nor Pakistan till the hour of freedom. Some like Hyderabad, one of the richest states in the heart of India, harboured dreams of complete independence. Pakistan also had an eye on it. If Hyderabad had acceded to Pakistan, a piece of Pakistan would have been within the territory of India.
During this period, Patel was also Deputy Prime Minister, Home Minister and Minister in charge of Information and Broadcasting. When Nehru travelled aborad, Patel also took charge as the Acting Prime Minister. He was also a member of the Constituent Assembly that had taken upon itself the monumental task of drafting a Constitution for the nation.
In the midst of such multiple challenges and bearing such huge responsibilities, Patel held his head above the water and continued to swim past the roaring tide to build a nation. The geography of India with territorial and administrative continuity and integrity would not have been but for this man's vision and perseverance. He lent his iron will and steely determination to create India.
It is hence that we know him as the Iron Man of India.
