No wonder – 

Statue of Unity for the Iron man of India..

The world’s tallest statue of Sardar Vallabhai Patel is now open to the public. The Statue of Unity - the 600-feet-tall statue is located in the Narmada district of Gujarat and is 3.5 Kms away from Kevadia town and about 200 km from Ahmedabad.

Why to spend so much.. 

There are some reasons..Behind..!

Ø In 1945 he had stepped down from the post of President of Indian National Congress without playing any dirty politics, to give way for Jawaharlal Nehru.

Ø He is the man who could have become the first Prime minister of India but he yielded with the post of deputy Prime minister to have a smooth and effective Government for India.

Ø He is the man who had worked to build the foundation of Republic India, truly conquering about 560 Kingdoms within India; of course with the association of VP Menon.

Ø He was the strongest organiser –the Iron Man - behind Gandhiji for the independence strike till ‘quit India’ movement.

Ø He was the only man who fought against the division of India and Pakistan just for the sake of Jinna and Nehru becoming the prime ministers which ultimately resulted in extreme enmity between the two countries!

Ø He was the only one person who protested involving United Nations in Kashmir issue. But Nehru did that. Even today the 1948 resolution of UN is the only one trump card Pakistan is using.

 Off late, with this difference of opinion he parted from the association of Nehru and came out from the dirty politics. 1950 he passed away. The then government has not even given one day leave for the government officials to attend the funeral.

His daughter handed over all the documents and funds belong to the National Congress, to Nehru, which Patel was possessing. Nehru didn’t even ask how they will live further. She struggled even without any medical aid and died. All these days he and his family were ignored in every means and ways. But the Nehru family is still in the throne.. the dynasty..!

Just for name sake after 41 years of Patel’s death the govt of India accepted him as ‘Bharath Rathna’.

Other ways his name was getting wiped off from the political history of India.

But now someone asked 

‘why to spend?’

The answer for that should reach to everyone in India as a tribute to that great personality. 600 feet is not enough for his monument..! 

He was much above, taller  than that of all our heights...!
