Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Kashmir issue(Video)

Sardar Patel solved burning Hyderabad issue, Junagadh issue and other hundreds of native states related issues at the time of Indian independence but Jawaharlal Nehru did not let Sardar to handle Kashmir issue. Sardar could solve Kashmir issue too but Jawharlal believed that as he(Jawahar) was from Kashmir, let him solve Kashmir issue himself. Sardar had his say on Kashmir issue, sometime Jawahar had to listen to him and sometime he did not listen to him at all.

One interesting scene in this video is about Jawahar’s radio broadcast in which he promised plebiscite in Kashmir under the supervision of United Nations. Sardar Patel had said ‘NO’ but Jawaharlal said it on Radio and look Kashmir problem is still alive.
