If Patel was not a Gujarati, would Modi still have raised a statue in his honour?

Question

Modi bhai blames Congress for not giving importance to Sardar Patel. Patel died in 1949 and had no role so as to become a popular figure in India. Had he lived longer and excelled as did Pandit Nehru, the nation would have given him more importance.

The nation could unite within our boundaries, simply because it was possible to do that geographically. The simple jobs can be done comparatively easily which Patel did as a Congressman, while the difficult jobs like Kashmir need building up strategies. There is always difficulty in encountering border issues which Kashmir is.

Thinking Hindu and Hindu only, depicts the parochial minds of the cynics who have no consideration for the humanity as a whole. At least these leaders should give proper guidance to our naive public. Every human being is important and everything need not be considered from a Hindu angle only.

I am a "proud Hindu", and I understand why I am proud of being a Hindu.

Patel is as important to me as is Netaji or Dr. Rajendra Prasad and nothing more than that. Just because Modi bhai has an extra sympathetic heart for Gujarat and Gujaratis, should the whole nation tow the same line and bow to his wishes?

Nehru, Indira and Rajiv are more in light because they were executive heads of the government. Patel was not. Ain't you, Mr. Modi, making a mockery of India by proclaiming him to be our biggest man and by raising a statue as big as that?

I think Modi bhai, you are more important actually than "The statue of Sardar Patel". And you believe in that.

Yes.

And you said
"Thinking Hindu and Hindu only, depicts the parochial minds of the cynics who have no consideration for the humanity as a whole. At least these leaders should give proper guidance to our naive public. Every human being is important and everything need not be considered from a Hindu angle only."

Try telling this to Muslims in any country after going there. Tell Muslims in Pakistan that Islam is not important but humanity is important. Then share your experiences with us.

Not only Patel, but Netaji too should be honoured with one, and not forget MG.

India only seems to have all things named after the congress dynasty!   At least, the change is a breather!  MG seems to go into oblivion due to the confusion about the name!  His sacrifice to the nation is being forgotten.

At the present time, the feeling is that one needs to move out of the box!

Morarji Desai was also a Gujarathi.  Why he was ignored if he had love for Gujarathi leaders.  We do not find statures of Lal Bahdur Shastri, P.V. Narasimha Rao, Gujral, VP Singh and Gulzari Lal Nanda who all served as PMs during their life time. We should respect the leaders irrespective of regions as they have served the country.  Similarly the past presidents of India.
