The grand finale

Thus the task of uniting the country was complete. In the history of India stretched over ages, India became one and united for the first time and that too without shedding a drop of blood. That was the marvel of the personality of Sardar. The sterling qualities of leadership he had shown as leader of Satyagraha, flowered in greater way in the administration of the country, maintenance of law and order and ensuring stability of the country and making it invulnerable. It is because of these strong steps that earned him the title of "The man of steel". Sardar Vallabhbhai passed away in Mumbai on the morning of the 15th December 1950.
