Detailed Solution

Integration of the Indian princely states was a major contribution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel just after independence. The British left India in 1947. They gave the rulers of the princely states the option of merging with India or Pakistan or remaining independent. Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel was responsible for bringing the princely realms together. The success of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel's feat of princely state unity is regarded as the most significant contribution to contemporary India. Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel convinced almost every princely state to join India. After independence, it was necessary to absorb more than 500 princely states into the Indian Union. He was India's first Home Minister, and his uncompromising efforts to unite the country earned him the moniker "Iron Man of India."
