FREEDOM FIGHTER WHO ALWAYS INSPIRES ME
The Iron Man of India
Sri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron
Man of India, is the freedom fighter who always inspires me. His father served in the army of Queen of Jhansi
and mother was a devoted home maker. He
was born on 31st October 1875 in Nadiad, Gujarat.
The most important factor for his
inspiration is Sri Patel gave “India back to Indians”. He was the reason 562 princely states became
part of India in 1947. Hyderabad and
Junagadh became part of India because of his brilliant timely military action.
He was influenced by father of our
Nation Mahatma Gandhiji and participated in all movements of freedom
struggle. He along with Gandhiji was
main force for success of Quit India Movement that finally drove British out of
India.
His dedication to work is so inspiring
that once the death of his wife was passed over to him when he was fighting a
case. He was so calm at that poing and
announced the news only after winning the case.
Though Sri Patel was most qualified to
become Prime Minister of India, he opted out at the request of Gandhiji. This shows how selfless and simple he
was. He never opted for high paying job
after completion of studies in England and came to India to take part in
freedom movement.
He died on 15th December
1950, after a massive heart attack. To
honour this Great Soul, Indian Government headed by Mr. Narendra Modi intends
to build World’s tallest 182 metre statue across Narmada Dam which is commendable
tribute to this Iron Man.
