He created the feeling of nationality among the people who were earlier divided on the basis of languages and regions.

Besides his contribution to the Freedom struggle, his chief contribution has been to social cause in the country. The country was the slave of many evils prevalent in one form or the other form. He was much aware of the uncleanliness and unhygienic ways of living of Indian people.
