Born as Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel, Sardar Patel came into this world on October 31, 1875, in Nadiad, Gujarat. Known as the ‘Iron-Man of India’, he played a major role in India’s freedom struggle. He was responsible to bring the 562 princely states into the fold of the Union of India.

To recognize his efforts as a freedom fighter and pay tribute to his contributions, the government of India announced his birth anniversary as National Unity Day or Rashtriya Ekta Diwas in 2014. The day is celebrated all across India to remember the unsung hero and his life in uniting the nation as one.

Sardar Patel had worked tirelessly to bring an end to imperialism and promote unity with the spirit of nationalism. He managed to serve as a political leader in the Indian National Congress for quite some time and was appointed the first Deputy Prime Minister of India for three years following India’s independence in 1947. He was also appointed as the Home Minister, minister of states, and minister of information.

On the occasion of his 146th birth anniversary, let us walk you through his life history and his contribution and achievements as an excellent statesman.
