A Malignant growth was detected in the body of Jhaveraba, the wife of Sardar Vallabhai Patel, but Jhaverba was too weak to be operated upon and the doctors decided to postpone surgery until she recovered some strength. After some days at her side Vallabhbhai Patel went to Anand where a client accused of murder was being tried, leaving instructions that he should be summoned once the date for operation was fixed.

Since her condition worsened as soon as Vallabhbhai left, immediate surgery was performed, the result seemed encouraging and a wire went to Vallabhbhai at Anand informing him of the facts. A somewhat reassured Vallabhbhai then started to cross examine a key witness. He was pounding the witness with all he had In the Anand courtroom when at 2:00 p.m. on January 11, 1909 another telegram was handed to him during the cross examination. He opened it, saw that it announced Jhaverba’s death, folded it, put it in his pocket, and continued to hammer away until the witness broke down. Not until the court rose did Vallabhbhai give out the shattering news. The Anand court room saw both the volcano and the ice. It did not see any stream of tears and could not see the lava of grief that act of will had contained and confined. His will had triumphed over the grief, and he won the battle in the court room but, on January 11, 1909, spirited little Jhaverba (at 29) has lost the battle in a hospital far away with neither husband nor mother nor father to hold her hand.”
