Satyam Patel

Satyam Patel (4 August 1932 – 14 January 2005) was a social worker and activist for the cause of labourers, farmers, untouchables and religious unity in the western state of Gujarat in India.

As an ardent orator for the cause of Maha Gujarat, his fiery speeches drew more crowd and attention than competing rallies of then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

After the formative years as a lawyer, Satyam Patel became a member of the Indian National Congress,[3][4][5] and went on to lead the Seva Dal (Volunteer Force) under the leadership of Indira Gandhi.

His follow-up work resulted in first high-level visit to China by Rajiv Gandhi, then prime minister of India, opening a new page of peace talks between the two countries.

The organization, housed at the Gandhi Ashram in the city of Ahmedabad, promotes simpler and healthier way of life through natural therapies and non-intrusive prevention techniques.
