“Sardar Patel achieved the incredible feat of persuading almost every single one of the 565 self-governing princely states that had been released from British suzerainty, to accede to the Union of India. For his commitment to the national integration of the newly independent country, Sardar Patel earned the sobriquet “Iron Man of India”” she added.
