Question

Bismarck and Sardar Patel role in unification and integration?

Answer 1

All I know about Bismarck is that he is a German guy who was the 1st chancellor and that the n***s had a battleship named Bismarck.

Answer 2

Patel was an Indian nationalist who embraced Ghandi's philosophy of peaceful resistance.  He was a major influence in uniting various factions and religions in India together for the common cause of breaking free from the control of England.  He undertook the diffiicult task of organizing what was 565 semi-autonomous English colonial provinces and transforming them into a united country.  He served as the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India and was a driving force behind establishing property rights and free enterprise in India.  He is often overlooked by Ghandi, but nevertheless was an integral part of the development of modern India.

Otto von Bismarck at first was the President of Prussia (the largest German nation before they were all unified).  After wars with France, Denmark, and Austria (the main German rival to Prussia), he gained much political support which resulted in transforming a loosely connected "German Confederation" into the first "German Empire".  In contrast to Patel, von Bismarck was quoted as saying that the unification of various german nations would not be done by majorities, but by "blood and iron".  He was appointed imperial chancellor of the first German Empire.
