Patel was the first Home Minister of the country
As the first Home Minister of India, ‘Iron Man’ Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had integrated many princely states into the country. As Deputy Prime Minister, he exposed all the conspiracies because at that time there were many foreign powers who did not want India to remain united. With his wisdom and foresight, Sardar Patel laid the foundation of united India by making all the 563 princely states of the country a part of the Republic of India. India has a reputation as the world’s largest democracy. The credit for this goes to the iron man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
