Sardar Vallabhai Patel

         The Statue of Unity is built in the memory of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (Sardar Patel), is the tallest statue in the world (182 metres). The Iron Man of India, Sardar Patel, is known for his contribution in reuniting India after independence. It was a difficult task to pursue the rulers of 550 independent and divided states to join India. However, it was due to Sardar Patel’s earnest efforts that helped in building today’s India. The statue is a tribute to this great architect of modern and united India. The statue is expected to be the source of inspiration for the upcoming generations and also remind the great works of Sardar Patel.
