Lives of great men all remind us
we can make our lives sublime
and departing leave behind us
footprints on the sands of time. H.W Longfellow
Thinking men had built high hopes on the unity of India but with bewilderment and chagrin they see disintegration creeping in everywhere.The evil spectres of linguism,regionalism and casteism are tearing the country into strips,each claiming loyalty to itself.Even after 67 years of independence from British rule we have been unable to instill a sense of purpose,unity and integrity among the people.
The Sardar was the prime architect who unified the 500 and odd princely states existing at the time of independence,combining tact and firmness..Unfortunately despite his best efforts he could not prevent the partition of the country because of short sightedness on the part of the other leaders.Even though the overwhelming public opinion was in his favour to be the first prime minister of the country,he did not force the issue but opted to play second fiddle to a lesser man.
The sardar in a short time,while remaining in the background,laid the foundation for a strong,united and prosperous India.He was a man of steely purpose and was not for a moment affected by the atmosphere of humbug,adulation and chicanery prevailing around him.
The Sardar was a builder of men and institutions.He gave a strong impetus to the cooperative movement in Agriculture and gave all the support and encouragement to people like Dr.Kurien and others for creating a world-class brand like Amul.
In the face of tremendous opposition he helped the Tata group of industries in their endeavour to build a strong manufacturing base in the country.
The Sardar firmly believed that India must adhere to its time-tested values of spirituality,tolerance,freedom,equality,fraternity and social justice,if it is to survive as a nation.
