Happy #EktaDiwas to all.
Tributes to #SardarVallabhbhaiPatel.

He will always be remembered as the man who united the nation.

A brief thread with a contrarian view follows:
1. There has been a consensus so far that making all princely states join the union of India was a wonderful thing.
And then, there was these massive state reorganisations starting from 1956.
2. First point to accept: the “provinces” under British were already large.

But, are we supposed to believe that none of the “founding fathers” who fought for independence were unaware of the local history? I don’t buy such a claim.
