Understanding Patel and Gandhi Through Their Monuments

Sardar Vallabhai Patel is known as the ‘Iron Man of India’. Mahatma Gandhi is called the ‘Father of Nation’. They both worked together and did great things for India. They both had a big hand in the success of the freedom struggle of India. They struggled and went through many adversities. They both grew up within Gujarati culture and tradition. They were not only passionate for Gujarat but for the idea of India. They were always affectionate towards the diversity of our country. 

The Statue of Unity has made us learn that Sardar Vallabhai Patel helped us in achieving independence and uniting the nation. The achievement of Patel was to unite the nation and that of Gandhi was helping the nation attain independence. They made a strong team and organised many welfare programmes for freedom. The Sabarmati Ashram is where Gandhiji wanted people to get a hint of his idea of living independently. He wanted the people to get an inspiration for being united. It was a true serendipity that Gandhiji and Patel worked in an alliance to free our country from Britishers. Statue of Unity and Sabarmati Ashram want the tourists and travelers to get the point that even after being a country of many cultures and traditions, we still stay united and always stand for each other. 

Knowing all this can blow your mind away. This would surely make you want to visit this awesome place which tells the history of how our country was made an independent and democratic one by the effort of these astonishing freedom fighters.
