Sardar Patel

Memoriam of the Great Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Who was the first Vice Prime Minister and Home Minister United each petty kingdom and state and made them dwell In a single unit, and thus he did administer... Ironman, he was called, due to his determination. Kings and kingdoms, like thatched huts of coconut leaves, he shook. For a united nation, he had no hesitation. For this, each and every possible means he undertook We heard, as a barrister, when he was hearing a case He happened to get a telegram and just kept quiet. Death of his wife! Yet, as a man in war, he took his place. Fraternally, he and Neheru tackled each riot. We had such politicians those days, I'm sorry to say. We lack such. Is this why we have to go the statue way...?

an informative and powerful poem, Christuraj. I wasn't familiar with Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel but am grateful for the background and history. You ended your Sonnet perfectly with your two summation lines. I agree with your view on politicians worldwide. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
