                                               तस्मात् ऐक्यं प्रशंसन्ति दृढं राश्त्र हितैषिणः ॥

‘Unity is the strength of any society and it (society) is weak without it. Hence those who wish for the good of the nation strongly praise unity.’

Sardar Patel played a key role in the integration of about 565 princely states into the Indian Union.Few princely states like Travancore, Hyderabad, Junagadh, Bhopal and Kashmir were averse to joining the state of India.Sardar Patel worked tirelessly to build a consensus with the princely states but did not hesitate in employing methods of Sama, Dama, Dand and Bhed wherever necessary. Thus he came to be known as the Iron man of India.
