FOREWORD
The
formation
ofthepostindependence
narion
outoftheloose
political
structure
of
India
after
thedepartureofthe
British
was
a
crucial
phase
in
the
modern
Indian
History.
Sardar
Vallabhai
Patel
can
truly
be
described
as
one
of
thekey architects
ofthis
phaseeven
though
SardarPatel's
govern-
mentaltenure
in
Delhi
was
a
relatively
short
one.
In
the
present
lecture
Shri
L
PSingh
describes
SardarPatel
as
"the
greateststatesman-adminis-
trator
of
Independent
India-" Shri
Singh
"rariks
himwith
Ashoka.and
Akbar,
as
a
unifierof
the
country'.
This
interpretation
of
Sardar
Patel's
role
covered
in
this
brief
lecture
stands
as
a
testimony
to
the
emergence
of
the
administrative
state
in
India.The
strengthand
weakness
of
the
Indian
States
have
been
of
somedebate
in
recent
years
andperhaps the
debate
will
occupymore
space
as
the
adequacies
and
inadequacies
of
the
state
in
India
begin
to
affect
our
national
growth
and
performance.
Shri
L
P
Singh
s
lectu4e
will
be
useful
inputin
assuming

therole
playedby SardarPatel
andthe
evolutionof
the
modern
Indian
state'
