Best Answer

In the early days after independence, India was under immense financial hardships. Peoples savings were drained out and citizens were unable to lead a normal life. Since banks were the lifeblood of the economy, the government felt that nationalizing banks would instill the faith in the banking system that was required to revive the economy. Hence they nationalized the nation's banks. State Bank of India is the largest bank in India and it is a nationalized bank.
