Sardar Patel firstly wanted to consolidate India. In the 5000 years of its history India was never united as it had always been a group of different states. Vallabhbhai wanted to bring into existence a united, homogenous India when it became republic in 1950.
The Manchester Gaurdian rightly said- "Without Patel, Gandhiji's idea would have had less practical influence and NEhru's idealism less scope. Sardar Patel was not only the organiser of the fight for freedom but also the architect of the new state when the fight was over. The same man is seldom successful as rebel and statesman but Sardar Patel was an exception.
His second ambition was to ensure the survival of a united country through the instrument of strong civil service. He conceived of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in place of the Indian Civil Service (ICS); and it was he only who also conceived of the Indian Police Service (IPS). Both these services are very much extant today and have enabled India to survive as a democratic state.
His third ambition was to make India economically strong, prosperous and progressive. Ironically this ambition was nit fulfilled. After the death of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on 15th Dec 1950 the government consciously discarded the economic policies of the sardar and adopted a sterile form of socialism which was the bane of India till the present government started its new policy of liberalisation.
The nation has not realised the greatness of Sardar Patel as it should have done. If Vallabhbhai had not lived, India would not be what it is today. He aimed
at integration in two ways not only territorial integration but the integration of the different communities by developing a sense of national identity.
So its hightime we realise the worth of such a great man India ever produced.0
