How Sardar Patel did not become first PM of India?(Video)
It was a meeting in Delhi to decide new president of Congress and Gandhiji said that whoever would be a new congress president will take an oath as a first prime minister of India. Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel and other Congress leader were present in this crucial meeting.
Gandhiji declared in this meeting that out of 15, 12 regional Congress committees had suggested Sardar patel’s name as a president (and thus as the first prime minister of India) and only one had suggested Shri Krupalaniji’s name who took his name back in favor of Jawaharlal Nehru. So Gandhiji said that now there were two candidates Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel.
Gandhi asked Jawaharlal ‘Jawahar none of the regional committees has suggested your name and only working committee has suggested your name, what do you think?’ Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to become prime minister so he did not answer this question and just kept looking at the floor. Gandhiji immediately understood what Jawaharlal’s wish was. Gandhiji wrote a note on a paper and gave it to Sardar Patel who was siting just next to him. Sardar read that note and imidietly took his name back.
Thus Jawaharlal Nehru became first prime minister of India instead of deserving Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This was major major injustice to Gujarat and India. Jawaharlal gave us Kashmir problem, China war, wrong socialist development model and his daughter, daughter’s son, his wife and her children to rule India.
Watch this in the video above. Video is taken from a Ketan Mehta directed and Paresh Rawal acted movie Sardar. Every Gujarati must have film ‘Sardar’ c.d.

Narendra Modi – the political heir of Sardar Patel
ALL: PLEASE READ THIS LINK, VERY NICE OBSERVATIONS
http://www.haindavakeralam.org/PageModule.aspx?PageID=4714
Had Sardar Patel been the Prime Minister of India instead of Nehru, the stature of India would have been different today. We missed the first Sardar. Let us not miss the second one. It is the duty of Gujarathis to make Narendra Modi invincible today, so that the entire country can rally behind him in the coming days, and make him the future hope for India.

I like Modi and I honor Sardar Patel
but comparison between two is impossible
Modi is finally a politician and he has bundle of weaknesses
while in the case of Sardar Patel, he is incomparable, he was much more than khursi seeking just another politician

The problem is that our people understand the value of a person after he is dead.
People who dont like Modi will hopefully understand his incomparibity after he is dead.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:09 am
I am agree that we can’t compare Modi and Sardar now. After Modi’s full life, I mean his death only we can compare two personalities who appeared on the stage of this nation at two different times.

Mayank, I appreciate your views and second it.
However, it depends on which prism you look through. For instance, Dhirubhai Ambani is believed to have twisted several loopholes in our system to further his business interest. But you have to admire the vision of this man who wanted to move much faster than the system but the system wouldnot allow. He had very little options in face of draconian license raj, and MRTPC acts. But through his ingenuity he has directly or indirectly give livelihood to millions and continues to inspire millions.
When people compare Dhirubhai and Narayan Murthy, I feel there is not much comparison. Probably, any other person in Dhirubhai’s place would have given up but IT companies never faced government intervention, rather they got government sops in terms of tax reliefs.
Pls read above vis-a-vis Narendra Modi, even though it is too early and unfair to compare him with Sardar Patel, but he has carved a niche for himself.

There are two greatest of the great personalities in the world to compare, when it comes to the personal potential, capacity and the vision of creating the nation, when it is to it’s lowest.
Those great personalities are, Mr.Bismark of the great Germany and the only other then him was the great Bismark of India, Sardar Patel.(comparitive study would let you know that Sardar did four more effective job than Bismark to creat their nations.) (So simply, if Sardar would have been the first prime minister of the free India, India would have been four times ahead of what Germany is today.)
I personally think that the great personalities of India, whose name could be used insted; to represent real patriotism, like Sardar Patel, Vir Savarkar, Bal gangadhar tilak, Bose, etc. But nation failed to digest the glory and privialge of having that kind of leaders in India. And the further badluck of the country was that, the first political party who ruled India, literally murdered those great leaders(after their death!!) with the fear of them turning out to be martyus.(Its wery High level of thinking friends)
And my observations of Mr.Modi’s personality, as the leader of the democracy suggests that; he might not be the great Sardar, but is not less than Sardar too friends. He is having many reflexes of Sardar’s personality. This is not just in the context of the economical achivements of Mr.Modi. (I welcome criticism, and I am ready for the debate also.)
Human being is not the creature, expected of repeating its mistake for the third time continously. We missed the great Bose’s movement, free India’s chance to get first prime minister like Sardar but now we could not efford loosing Modi.
Sometimes, something is unevitable to do when it comes to the governence. History might pruve it as the wise act in future. So it is not good to analyse a person from only one point of view everytime.
Modi tum age badho, (auro ka pata nahi….magar) mai tumhare sath hu.(our frequencies matches)

Dear Sneha and Umesh Patel
I am amazed to see more and more like minded people like you in the comment sections of this site. Actually leftist and pro-Muslim pro-Christian dominated Indian English so called secular media has continuously projected the things completely different than what I believe or what you believe. They have bombarded every body’s minds and they are still doing it. It is amazing that I, you and most of the Gujarati people can think independently the right things even after this media bombarding from all the directions, on every button of remote control and on every newspaper’s page.

JAI SHRI KRISHNA….
On 14th November each year, we celebrate Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday. We think (as we are taught in school) he was a simple and cheerful leader, a person who had a childlike nature, a great politician.
But what is the unknown side of our first Prime Minister? An Addict or an Entertainer or a Hindu merely by accident (in his own words) ?
Nehru gave birth to the problem of Kashmir & China.
Nehru had illegal relationships.
Nehru hated ‘Vande Mataram’.
Nehru was ready with a sword to oppose Subhash Chandra Bose !
Time to think and face the reality….
Highlights of true but ‘covered’ history of Nehru

becoz of this situation the people make them great and their devotation also make them great
June 12th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
i do not understand why people of Gujarat keep on thinking about past. We should learn from history. Thinking about past is waste of time and it will divert the concentration of what needs to be done in present. There is no guarantee if Sardar Patel was PM, India would be better shape. Any country is successful if people think of country. We think about ourselves.

very honestly long time ago i,was bhakta of nehru,indiraji, and congress.of course at that time congress had very
charismatic leader.capable ,clever,etc.but then ,they became power hungry.indiraji was at her best until 1971.
until bangladesh creation.after that for power she stabbed in the back of real congress,and congressi.she
became the responcible to split that great institution.she throw away nice leaders,good people of the party.
she took the support of leftist.and that decession became the beginer of her blck era.nationalisation,
dynasty,puppet game,gundas and worst is corruption from bottom to top.that corruption became the malignancy
of indian life. after that any dam goverment came either in central or state,corrupt.coupples individual clean
is an exxcception.i,know also rss people when they were not in power ,they talked and behaved like they are
the cleanest but when they got power ,prooved them selves one of the most corrupt.i,think all of you know that.
sardar,shastriji,and many ,many others they wrere gems in indian politics.to-day in indian politics,ironwill,
very clean,always thinking for his state people and country,very dynamic,one of the best orater,educated,
and with so many virtu ,i,can say very confidently that is only narendra ,modiji.i,am
glad that still country has some left over gems.think how rubbish congress and others like lallu,mulayam,amarsing,mayavati.etc.god please give long,healthy,dynamic political and public life to m odiji.
god bless my india,gujarat and people.
thanks.

i don’t know why Gandhi ji did this? Is there any explanation that supporters from the 12 regional congress committees sought? I wish Sardar Patel ji was our first PM.

nehru’s grandfather was Muslim, a nobleman at the Mughal Court in Delhi who assumed a name gangadhar Nehru(who abides at the bank of canal-Nehr) to avoid the Britisah army after the capture of last Moghal king. His son was Motilal who worked for a lawyer MNubarak Ali who again had an illicit affair with Motilal’s wife producing a child Now known as Jawaharlal. He was Muslim given a Hindu Name. Nehruhad an affair with the son of Mubarak Ali, namely Mansur Ali, resulting in Indira Gandhi. Indira had an illicit affair with one Yunis resulting in a son Sanjiv, later name changed to Sanjay Gandhi after caught stealing a car in England. Now you see the hotch potch mess of this family and no doubt Jawaharlal, who spent his years till eleven at a mujra house in Allahbad, looking dejected when 13 members elected Sardar as India’s first PM

Dear Mayank,
All gujaratis are agree with you and unhappy to read that instead of support of all reajional commitees nehru was promoted as pm a great poloticle mistake by gandhiji and politicians of that time.
June 6th, 2009 at 6:54 am
Gandhi and Nehru were disaster for this country
December 11th, 2009 at 4:48 am
Well, to my understanding Sardar is mainly remembered in Gujarat and he is in heart of gujaratis. And more likely, our future generation will not know much about Sardar Patel.
If we do not speak about history then it is not history. History can made when people talk about it generation after generations.
I watched some of our great golden age patriotic movies including Purab or Paschim, and to my surprise, I couldn’t find name or picture of Sardar.
We do not need great party…what we need is great fearless Leader. and so far, Mr. Modi, despite of all contraversies, opposition within party, has emerged as a fearless leader, who has become stronger and stronger, election after elections.
December 15th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
But what was written in the note given by gandhi to sardar???
April 21st, 2010 at 10:31 am
I read in one book that Jawahar literally cried before Gandhiji and begged for Presidency. And Gandhiji who seems couldn’t see big picture and had soft-corner with Neharu agreed. He then asked the Great Sardar to step back and act as a advisory. Gandhiji said let Neharu run the Government and of course Sardar is there to guide or advice. What can we say more great for Sardar who could let go worldly power so easily. Our Sanskriti salute such person with a “Maharshi” title.
