In this episode of Sadhguru 360 on Bhadrapada Purnima, Sadhguru delves into the remarkable, often untold story of how modern Bharat was forged into a political unit out of a fractured landscape of 565 princely states. Exploring the sheer grit, astuteness, and absolute commitment of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Bharat’s first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, Sadhguru highlights the colossal diplomatic and strategic effort that went into the making of the sovereign nation we today know as Bharat. Sadhguru also speaks about Sardar Patel’s foundational role in shaping India’s civil services, which he described as the “steel frame” essential to holding the nation together. He further reflects on Patel’s contributions in the Constituent Assembly, including his efforts toward building a framework of national unity, equal citizenship, and administrative stability for a newly independent nation.
