The volume brings out the differences between Sardar Patel and Jawahar Lal Nehru over the Communist party’s stand on violence. While Nehru was anxious to remove the ban on the Communist party in Bombay, Patel initiated secret inquiries to unearth evidence about the armed uprising planned by the Communist party. The book throws light on Sardar Patel’s views on communal harmony and his prescription to ensure peace when violence breaks out. If the Sardar wanted stern action against the Muslim miscreants who killed two people in an attack on a procession taken out in connection with the fifth session of the Bhavnagar Praja Mandal Congress in May 1939, he was equally unsparing of the Arya Samajists responsible for the murder of two Muslims in Sholapur. Since the official and non-official sources for this period are naturally scarce, the material had to be collected from various repositories of records in India and abroad as well as newspapers of the time. This volume has been prepared under the overall supervision of a high-powered advisory committee with S. Nijalingappa as Chairman, S.B. Chavan as Senior Vice-Chairman and Union Ministers, Chief Ministers and statesmen of various states as members and Dr. P.N. Chopra, an eminent historian, as Chief Editor.
