Description

This biography of Sada Vallabhbhai Patel is a comprehensive narration of his contribution to Mahatma Gandhi's struggle for India's freedom (1920-1947). Without his support, Gandhi admitted, his sataygrahas would not have had the same success. It was the role Sadar played that made the Congress party so strong. It was he who built the party machine through imposition of strict discipline and by giving it a mass base. As party boss Patel supervised and directed the functioning of the Congress ministries post 1937.
