The Iron Man of India

By Aaditya Shukla

 

A lawyer was arguing for the release of 46 convicts facing death penalty. Just then his assistant dropped in and gave him a small piece of paper. The lawyer read it and kept it inside his pocket and continued his arguments.

During the lunch break, the judge asked him, “What information did you receive?” 

The lawyer replied, “My wife died”. 

The judge was shocked and asked, “Then what are you doing here? Go”. 

The lawyer replied, “I can’t bring back my wife’s life, but I can help these 46 men get life and prevent them from dying”.

The judge, who was from Britain, ordered the release of all the 46 men.

This lawyer was none other than Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
