Sardar Vallabhbhai PatelFavourable · strong
“The steel frame that was needed for the reconstruction of the nation was provided by Sardar Patel,”
Subhas Chandra BoseFavourable · moderate
“I saw the details regarding the time - back in 1920 - when Subhas Chandra Bose also went through this very process. It struck me that although the British were in power at the time, there used to be a Sanskrit paper, and Subhas Babu wrote his exam in Sanskrit”
