1950, THE DEATH OF SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATEL AND THE BIRTH OF NARENDRA MODI

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel died in 1950, leaving India fumbling at the hands of an ever-erring Prime Minister. The very same year Narendra Modi was born, just months before the Sardar's demise. The rest is history. Worthy successors do come but, alas, at too long an interval in India which somehow fails to produce a string of such leaders in quick succession! 

Chanakya saved ancient Bhāratvarsha from the Greeks. The Chanakya of our times was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He integrated India and saved her from balkanised extinction. Now his successor at long last, Shree Narendra Modi, is saving India and rebuilding her with his iron will, considerable craft in realpolitic and unbounded patriotism steeped in this nation's true Sanātan heritage. He is the follower of Swami Vivekananda in totality and not in segmented effeminate understanding and application. May Modiji live long to guide India but may he groom worthy, even worthier successors to him so that the safety and security of India be beyond future violation in this world of dreadful uncertainty!
