Happy National Unity Day 2021: Inspirational quotes by Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

National Unity Day, also known as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas is observed on October 31 annually. The day marks the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India, who played a crucial role in India’s freedom movement.

The day honours his efforts of coercing as many as 560 princely states into the Union of India. In 2014, the Bhartiya Janta Party government declared October 31 as National Unity Day.

Moreover, the Government of India led by PM Narendra Modi has constructed a massive statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel near the Narmada River in Gujarat. It is tagged as the Statue of Unity.

On the occasion of National Unity Day 2021, here are some inspirational quotes by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel:

  • “There is something unique in this soil, which despite many obstacles has always remained the abode of great souls.”
  • “Remain united. March forward in all humility, but fully awake to the situation you face, demanding your rights and firmness.”
  • “Every Indian should now forget that he is a Rajput, a Sikh or a Jat. He must remember that he is an Indian and he has every right in his country but with certain duties.”
  • “Work is undoubtedly worship but laughter is life. Anyone who takes life too seriously must prepare himself for a miserable existence. Anyone who greets joys and sorrows with equal facility can really get the best of life.”
  • “Faith is of no evil in absence of strength. Faith and strength, both are essential to accomplish any great work.”
  • “The negligence of a few could easily send a ship to the bottom, but if it has the wholehearted co-operation of all on board it can be safely brought to the part.”
  • “Two ways of building character – cultivating the strength to challenge oppression, and tolerate the resultant hardships that give rise to courage and awareness.”

He further mentioned that they will give this money through Telangana Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju.

When questioned if he had visited the boy’s family, Aravind explained that he cannot interact with the family due to the legal problems. With the police permission, once, 10 days back, he visited him. He was then recovering, he continued.

Meanwhile, producer and Telangana Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman Dil Raju also addressed the media, stating that there is a meeting planned tomorrow with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, and they have taken an appointment.
