Description
xChurchill had ordered the preparation of an imperial strategy with the intention of balkanising India. However, Churchill's imperial strategy was foiled by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He stood in the way of transfer of power, unless Punjab and Bengal were divided.
This book examines the extraordinary contribution of Sardar Patel, from his unflinching support to Gandhi's satyagrahas and the Indian freedom struggle, to his farsighted and courageous approach in building a strong, integrated India. Sardar Patel's most significant achievement was integrating over 560 princely states in a period of about 18 months.
