About : 

  • Vithalbhai Patel was born on September 27, 1873 in Karmasad in Gujarat. After early education at Karmasad and Nadiad, Vithalbhai went to Bombay and qualified for district pleadership. In a few years he became a well known lawyer with considerable practice. His younger brother, Vallabhbhai followed his footsteps. After his return from England in 1908, as a barrister, Vithalbhai practiced in Bombay. Two years later after he lost his wife, he devoted himself entirely to public affairs. He was President of the Bombay Corporation and later he was elected to the Bombay Legislative Council as a representative of local self-governing bodies.
