SARDAR PATEL - AN EXTRAORDINARY PATRIOT: Neither the BJP nor Congress can demonstrate Sardar Patels Sterling qualities of head and heart leaving a side his contribution to national Security and the strength of his Commitment to Secularism. Both parties are seeking to appropriate and fashion particular elements of the extraordinary Patriots life and legacy for their very Parochial ends. In that process, they are dishonouring the memory of one of Indias greatest sons who was a man of strong convictions, an individual of unstinted personal loyalties and who played a critical role at a vital movement in the countrys nascent history. Few, if any, with in Indias political class today are of the stature of that Magnificent Individual. his particular political Proclivities and Predilections not withstanding. Fecklessly, toying with his substantial contributions both to the freedom struggle and after underscores the callousness of those who are engaged in this unbecoming fracas. One can hope that the Indian Voter, who has time and again demonstrated much political acumen, will not be swayed by this dismal spectacle that both the national parties BJP and Congress have now Stooped to.
