Vallabhbhai Patel → Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel – Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel seems to be a much more commonly used than just Vallabhbhai Patel. If you google phrases like first deputy prime minister of india, first home minister of india, iron man of india, bismarck of india or even if you search just Vallabhbhai Patel, for images, books, videos, maps, news, YouTube Videos, Amazon the subject seems to be almost unanimously best known by the honorific. If the clause WP:TITLESINTITLES to be best used, I think this subject is to moved as requested. Appu ( talk) 08:55, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
The article reads:
[...]and had a few plotters killed by the police, but his approach was said to have been harsh.
First of all, while subtle, the sentence reads like an apology for Patel, first describing what the writer clearly seems to regard as a very reasonable and measured response while only reluctantly conceding that some anonymous, passive voice said at some point (but who really cares) that his approach was "harsh" even though he was very obviously too soft-hearted, if anything. Second, the part that's keeping me from just making a simple edit to make the wording less mealy-mouthted, what does it mean that he "had a few plotters killed by the police"? As in had them summarily executed? If that's the case, what about that makes it so surprising (the "but" is doing a lot of work here to make the criticism seem unreasonable, as though it is somehow in opposition to the facts of the incident) that people might have found it "harsh"?
