What greater example of selfless sacrifice could there be than a ruler voluntarily giving up the very power and legacy that generations of ancestors had fought to preserve?
@patrickjane230@DEEPSBISHNOI_@narendramodi Wht more cld they hv needed? Seriously?
rulers of Mewar accepted a life of sacrifice rathr thn giving up thr principles, privileges, independence. Thn aftr generations hd passed, dse same royal houses made anthr historic decision — they g up thr kingdom, authority, nd privileges
@patrickjane230@DEEPSBISHNOI_@narendramodi 2- Imagine if princely states jaipur jodhpur udaipur, like Junagadh and Hyderabad State, hd resisted integration through force. Hw many fronts wld the Army have hd to face? The situation could hv led to immense instability nd chaos. but they gv up everything 4 united India.
@patrickjane230@DEEPSBISHNOI_@narendramodi 1-ppl?
the decision of merger was for the rulers nt thr ppl.

@patrickjane230@DEEPSBISHNOI_@narendramodi placing future of his ppl above his own power. Even if, for a moment, we assume tht he considered Jinnah’s proposal, I see it more as an act of nt abandoning his people — regions such as Amerkot, which were given to Pak, ppl who were left at the mercy of Pak.
