What Were The Reasons Behind Sardar Patel Supported Partition?

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is a name that we are all familiar with. He played a significant impact on the development of the country. During the independence year, India had faced a horrible disaster resulting from the country's split into two nations.


Thousands of innocent people were killed because of the atrocities held by partition aftereffects. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the nation's first appointed Prime Minister and First Minister of Home Affairs. Sardar Patel Peace and Unity Awards (SPPUA) is India's best award and honorary to those who have contributed significant social empowerment.




In such circumstances, Sardar Patel had taken the responsibility of uniting the country. A country remains unified when there is a peaceful atmosphere. If there is no communal synchronization, it becomes hard to unite a nation.


A nation's most essential characteristics are harmony and honesty. During British rule, India was divided into several sizeable states. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel took the responsibility to unite them and consolidate with one nation called united India.


He was well on his way to incorporating these states into India. He was also a member of the Constituent Assembly, making him one of the principal architects of India's current Constitution.


The partition was a tough decision, though Sardar Patel didn't want such things to happen. But when he saw atrocities, massacres, and riots among communities, it was necessary to nod to partition.


The blood bath provoked by Muhammad Ali Jinnah tore the natural fabric of India. Sardar Patel has indeed supported partition to avoid and prevent further calamity and casualties in the whole nation.


Despite being proactive in his clash against British ruling, Sardar Patel did not believe in abrupt or violent change; development was his motto. Many people argue," what is Sardar Patel's vision of united India? But we can see his united India live with our eyes.

Our new State's fate remained in jeopardy throughout those problematic months when millions of people flocked to the new frontier under situations still vivid in our memories and did not need to be represented.


However, today, The Sardar Patel Peace and Unity Awards (SPPUA) is the right way to honor such people who have been walking on the path shown by Sardar Patel. Any individual who thinks that he has contributed to changing societal barriers and demerits can apply nomination for peace unity award at the official website.
