Salute to the Iron Man of India

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (31 October 1875 – 15 December 1950)

 

Few Famous Quotes by our Iron Man of India…

“1. It is the prime responsibility of every citizen to feel that his country is free and to defend its freedom is his duty. Every Indian should now forget that he is a Rajput, a Sikh or a Jat. He must remember that he is an Indian and he has every right in this country but with certain duties.

2. My only desire is that India should be a good producer and no one should be hungry, shedding tears for food in the country.

3. Even if we lose the wealth of thousands, and our life is sacrificed, we should keep smiling and be cheerful keeping our faith in God and Truth.

4. Manpower without Unity is not a strength unless it is harmonised and united properly, then it becomes a spiritual power.

5. There is something unique in this soil, which despite many obstacles has always remained the abode of great souls.

6. We should shoulder our responsibility by ourselves, and understand the people to takeover these responsibilities.We should not depend upon the Government by understanding the real situation. ”

Sardar Patel formed the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and other Central Services to assist in the process of nation building. The “Iron Man of India” died in Bombay in December 1950. He left behind a united India…

When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in ‘mail’ and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters “html” – the programming language used to write web pages.
