==Plot==
The film begins with a young [[Sardar Patel]] playing cards with his friends and ridiculing [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and his policies to achieve independence. His views change however, when he is introduced to Gandhi by his brother, and upon listening to a lecture delivered by Gandhi, he joins him in his struggle. Sardar then successfully organises various [[Satyagraha]]s throughout Gujarat. The film then moves to the age of the [[Quit India Movement]] and India's freedom. Sardar is instrumental in convincing the working committee of the INC and Nehru to accept a [[Indian Independence Act 1947|proposal for the partition of India]], when riots break out on the league's call for [[Direct Action Day|Direct Action]]. Sardar realises that not tackling the problem now might result in civil war in the country.
Once the [[Partition of India|partition]] has been accepted, Sardar then works to get all the princely states to join the Union of India, the film depicts his handling of the problems posed by the princely states of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Kashmir]], [[Junagadh State|Junagadh]] and [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]]. The film also portrays his differences with Nehru and how they work together after the death of Gandhiji. The film ends with Sardar resting at the deserted village of Shahpura in [[Rajasthan]] saying that today from [[Kashmir]] to [[Kanyakumari]], there is one independent nation.
