Birad Rajaram Yajnik talks about the biography of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel that he presented to the Prime Minister
Hyderabad-based author Birad Rajaram Yajnik presented a photo-biography of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, named Sardar, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Rashtriya Ekta Diwas on October 31. The book is a pictorial representation of Sardar’s life and how he unified the country.
Birad, who runs the Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum, said, “I had a 40-minute conversation with the Prime Minister, revolving around Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the lessons youth could learn from him. We also spoke about how our youth is mostly associated with technology and how experiential learning could help.”
About what today’s youth could learn from Sardar, who was called the Iron Man of India, he adds, “They can learn how to be determined towards one single goal and achieve it without being violent. There were 565 princely states before independence and to be able to unify all of them, you needed a vision and the strength to achieve it.”
