Book excerpt: This book is unlike any biography on Sardar Patel,and unlike any narrative on Freedom Struggle.Its USP is that it is not just a biography or an interesting story of the life of Sardar Patel.Rather, its USP is that, leaving no vital aspect uncovered, and interspersed with interesting episodes and no-holds-barred comments and observations, it is an engaging, gripping and comprehensive story with a wide sweep, unlike anything written so far, on the following, with Sardar Patel in the background or in the foreground, and bringing out why Sardar Patel was the best PM we never had!- Interesting, and non-so-well-known biographical details of Sardar Patel.- Select compilation of what other stalwarts said about Sardar Patel.- Select compilation of what Sardar said and wrote.- Comprehensive and chronological coverage of India's Gandhian Freedom Struggle, and the role of Sardar and others in it.- Dispassionate evaluation of the Gandhian Freedom Movement.- Comprehensive coverage on "What constitutes a nation?", Partition, and the Creation of Pakistan.- Sardar's steller and decisive role during 1945-47 leading to India's freedom.- The shocking story of Nehru's unjust and illegal anointment as the Congress President in 1946, and the first PM of India, by Gandhi, sidelining Sardar.- The fascinating story of the Integration of the 562 Princely States into India, expanding its geographical area by 40%--all thanks to Sardar Patel. - Sardar's decisive role in the forcible merger of Junagadh and Hyderabad.- Kashmir, Sardar, and botch-up by Nehru.- Sardar vs. Nehru on China and Tibet.- Sardar vs. Nehru's Foreign Policy Blunders.- Sardar vs. Nehru's Socialistic Nightmare.- Sardar vs. Nehru-Gandhi's "Secularism".- Sardar's functioning and his unmatched administrative abilities. (it's a long sweep), www.rkpbooks.com...[then] it seemed to me that Jawaharlal should be the new President [of Congress in 1946--and hence Prime Minister] ...I acted according to my best judgement but the way things have shaped since then has made me to realise that this was perhaps the greatest blunder of my political life... My second mistake was that when I decided not to stand myself, I did not support Sardar Patel.-- Abul Kalam Azad, 'India Wins Freedom'The Sardar, as Congress's strongman was called, was determined to stay and solve whatever problems remained, rather than running away from them. He had long viewed Nehru as a weak sister and often wondered why Gandhi thought so highly of him.--Stanley Wolpert, 'Nehru: A Tryst with Destiny'Patel possessed the organising ability of Bismarck, the astute statesmanship of Chanakya, and the single-minded devotion to the cause of national unity of Abraham Lincoln.--VV Giri, ex-President of IndiaYou saw his [Sardar's] face;it grew year by year in power and determination...-- Acharya Kriplani...Here was a man with a crystal-clear mind who could see to the core of the problem within the shortest possible time...--Frank AnthonyYou know, I never go to Nehru to seek advice or guidance. I take a decision and just present it to him as a fait accompli. Nehru's mind is too complex to wrestle with the intricacies of a problem. Those who go to him for advice rarely get a lead--and that only serves to delay matters... Nehru does not understand economics, and is lead by the nose by 'professors' and 'experts' who pander to his whims and fancies... We should have absorbed Kashmir for good and all... I do not know where we are going. The country needs a man like Patel."--Rafi Ahmed Kidwai, Nehru's close friend and confidantSir Stafford Cripps had estimated it would take India 10 to 15 years, if not more, to liquidate the Indian Princely States and merge them with India. It was a surprise to all, and a tribute to the Sardar's abilities, that he took, not 10 to 15 years, but less than 10 to 15 months to merge all the 548 Princely States with India, extending its area by 40%.

Download or read book The Man Who Saved India written by Hindol Sengupta and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is perhaps no political figure in modern history who did more to secure and protect the Indian nation than Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. But, ironically, seventy years after Patel brought together piece by piece the map of India by fusing the princely states with British India to create a new democratic, independent nation, little is understood or appreciated about Patel's enormous contribution to the making of India. Caricatured in political debate, all the nuances of Patel's difficult life and the daring choices he made are often lost, or worse, used as mere polemic. If Mahatma Gandhi was the spiritual core of India's freedom struggle and Jawaharlal Nehru its romantic idealism, it was Sardar Patel who brought in the vital pragmatism which held together the national movement and the first ideas of independent India. A naturally stoic man, Patel, unlike Gandhi or Nehru, wrote no personal history. He famously argued that its was better to create history than write it. This is why even his deepest misgivings and quarrels have been easily buried. But every warning that Patel left for India - from the dangers of allowing groups to create private militias to his thoughtful criticism on India's approach to Kashmir, Pakistan and China - are all dangerously relevant today. It is impossible to read about Patel, who died in 1950, and not feel that had he lived on, India might have been a different country. It is also impossible to ignore Patel and understand not only what the idea of India is but also what it could have been, and might be in the future. The Man Who Saved India is a sweeping, magisterial retelling of Sardar Patel's story. With fiercely detailed and pugnacious anecdotes, multiple award-winning, best-selling writer Hindol Sengupta brings alive Patel's determined life of struggle and his furious commitment to keep India safe. This book brings alive all the arguments, quarrels and clashes between some of the most determined people in Indian history and their battle to carve out an independent nation. Through ravages of a failing body broken by decades of abuse in and outside prison, Patel stands out in this book as the man who, even on his death bed, worked to save India. Hindol Sengupta's The Man Who Saved India is destined to define Patel's legacy for future generations.

Download or read book The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru written by Andrew Kennedy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do leaders sometimes challenge, rather than accept, the international structures that surround their states? In The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru, Andrew Kennedy answers this question through in-depth studies of Chinese foreign policy under Mao Zedong and Indian foreign policy under Jawaharlal Nehru. Drawing on international relations theory and psychological research, Kennedy offers a new theoretical explanation for bold leadership in foreign policy, one that stresses the beliefs that leaders develop about the 'national efficacy' of their states. He shows how this approach illuminates several of Mao and Nehru's most important military and diplomatic decisions, drawing on archival evidence and primary source materials from China, India, the United States and the United Kingdom. A rare blend of theoretical innovation and historical scholarship, The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru is a fascinating portrait of how foreign policy decisions are made.
