With completion of data merger of SBS, finally a 103-year-old legacy of a princely state bank has been shrunk in the pages of history. The 13th September 2008 has stamped itself as a historical day to get it recalled in the history of Indian banking as the day when 1/7th part of the wheel wagon of merger process of 7 Associate Banks of SBI, has been completed successfully.
Princely status of a Public Sector Bank (S.B.S.) has finally sublimed into a larger canvas of ‘INDIA’. Finally the wait of some 7000 employees carrying the burden of a princely honor, ironically in an Independent India, has come to an end. It is a happy moment and a moment of joy, which will kindle the hope of other six (read Abs) who are also waiting in the queue to be part of an ‘INDIA’.
A 103 old institution has been submerged in an institution of over 200 years. A small tributary river of has finally merged into main course of big river. Mind boggling over 10400 branches of big ‘INDIA’ is still growing off course this time by a small number, but this is just opening of a long innings. A comparatively young organization is going to support an elderly organization to make the elder one once again as young and as energetic to fight incoming ‘firangi’ banks post 2009.
It is happened in simple way without any fanfare.
The first in the series of amalgamation process has been completed even without any charismatic leader like the our great Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who has created history with integration of princely estates in Independent India. It is an integration of Banks of Princely states, which was due since the nationalizations of the banks in 1969.
Though for last more than one year few Jaychands and Mirzafars have tried hard to derail the merger process but finally truth prevails. Belief of thousands of people prevailed that even if small is beautiful to look but when question of survival comes, people enthuse faith in size as it gives feeling too-large-to-fall.
Belief have been strengthened that prince and traces of princely states looks goods in fort and fortresses only and independent India has to come out of the shadow of the princely states as the WORLD is now turning into a GLOBAL VILLAGE.
There is absolutely no place to carry the legacy of princely states through banks, which are serving millions of poor people of India, after 51years of independence. And as such the institution carrying any trace of legacy of princely states should be merged into the big ‘INDIA’.

Dear Officers,
As rightly pointed out in the original post, the need of the hour is STRONG LEADGERSHIP.
The leadership should have vision and the ability to foresee things for the next five to ten years.
As we have been seeing, the world over, banks are falling like nine pins.
We are now living in a globalised world. We cannot remain insulated from the world any more.
Hence, we shall take cue from the events and try very hard and work toward the merger.
Our very own survival depends on merger!
STRIVE HARD FOR MERGER!
OPPOSE ALL STRIKES AGAINST THE MERGER!
AND.....
WORK FOR BHARATJODO!
with regards to one and all,
BharatJodo7
