Patel was chosen to serve as India's Home Minister on the country's first anniversary of independence. He is referred to be the Father of Modern India because of his ardent support for the union of princely states into one country, his optimistic view of women's emancipation, and his active role in helping to shape India into what it is today. #sardarvallabhbhaipatel
