He Was A Staunch Hindu Who Appreciated The Culture Of India. He Recognized That India Was A Hospitable Home To People From Different Religions Over The Centuries. He Has Made Major Contributions To The Discussions And Thoughts Of The Constituent Assembly. We Owe It To Patel For The Protection And Privileges Provided To The Minorities In The Indian Constitution. He Wanted India To Flourish And Improve By The Days, And He Was More Of A Doer Than A Thinker. He Is Still Considered As One Of The Architects Who Helped Shape The India That We Know Of, And Live In, Today. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Was One Of Gandhi’S Closest Associates.
