Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel (31 October

1875 15 December 1950) was an Indian

barrister and statesman, one of the leaders of
the Indian National Congress and one of the
founding fathers of the Republic of India. He
was a social leader who played a leading role
in the country's struggle for independence
and guided its integration into a united,
independent nation. In India and elsewhere,
he was often addressed as Sardar, which
means Chief in Hindi, Urdu and Persian.
He was raised in the countryside of
Gujarat.Vallabhbhai Patel was employed in
successful practice as a lawyer. Patel
subsequently organised peasants from Kheda,
Borsad, and Bardoli in Gujarat in non-violent
civil disobedience against oppressive policies
imposed by the British Raj; in this role, he
became one of the most influential leaders in
Gujarat. He rose to the leadership of the
Indian National Congress and was at the
forefront of rebellions and political events,
organising the party for elections in 1934 and
1937, and promoting the Quit India
movement.
As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime
Minister of India, Patel organised relief for
refugees in Punjab and Delhi, and led efforts
to restore peace across the nation. Patel took
charge of the task to forge a united India from
the British colonial provinces allocated to
India and more than five hundred self-
governing princely states, released from
British suzerainty by the Indian Independence
Act 1947. Using frank diplomacy, backed with
the option and use of military force, Patel's
leadership persuaded almost every princely
state. Often known as the "Iron Man of India"
or "Bismarck of India", he is also remembered
as the "Patron Saint" of India's civil servants
for establishing modern all-India services.
