Contribution
After independence, most of the provincial committees were in favor of Sardar Patel. As Gandhiji wished, Sardar Patel distanced himself from the race for the post of Prime Minister and supported Jawaharlal Nehru. Later, he was given the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, after which his first priority was to include indigenous princely states in India. He did this task well without any big fight. But Army had to be sent for Operation Polo of Hyderabad.
Since Sardar Patel's contribution to the integration of India was extremely important, he was called the Iron Man of India. He died in India on 15 December 1950 and this iron man said goodbye to the world.
Integration of indigenous states (princely states)
Political integration of india
At the time of independence, India had 562 indigenous states. Their area was 40 percent of India. Sardar Patel, along with VP Menon, started work to merge several indigenous states in India just before independence (in transition). Patel and Menon explained a lot to the indigenous kings that it would not be possible to give them autonomy. As a result, all the other Rajwads, except three, voluntarily accepted the proposal to merge with India. Only the kings of Jammu and Kashmir, Junagadh and Hyderabad State did not agree to do so. Junagadh was a small princely state near Saurashtra and was surrounded by Indian soil from all sides. She was not near Pakistan. The Nawab there announced his accession to Pakistan on 15 August 1947. Most of the people of the state were Hindu and wanted to merge with India. When there was a lot of protest against the Nawab, the Indian Army entered Junagadh. The Nawab fled to Pakistan and on 9 November 1947 Junagadh was also found in India. A referendum was held there in February 1948, which favored a merger with India. Hyderabad was the largest princely state of India, surrounded by Indian land from all sides. The Nizam there, with the encouragement of Pakistan, claimed an independent state and started increasing his army. He kept importing a lot of weapons. Patel got worried. Finally, the Indian Army entered Hyderabad on 13 September 1948. After three days the Nizam surrendered and in November 1948 accepted the proposal to merge with India. Nehru kept Kashmir with himself, saying that this problem is an international problem. The problem of Kashmir was taken to the United Nations and due to the separatist forces, the problem of Kashmir increased day by day. On 5 August 2019, with the efforts of Prime Minister Modiji and Home Minister Amit Shah, Article 370 and 35 (A) giving special state status to Kashmir came to an end. Kashmir became an integral part of India and Sardar Patel's dream of making India an Akhand came true. On 31 October 2019, two Union Territories came into existence as Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Now Jammu and Kashmir will remain under the center and all laws of India will apply there. This is a true tribute to the grateful nation of Patel. The Ahmedabad airport is named Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
