I wonder if the first typoon or Earthquake this thing gets is going to take it down
Ahh yes, the fool and his narcisstick.
450 Million bucks worth of food infrastructure perhaps would have helped the starving in India a bit more. But perhaps a few thousand can sit in the shade.
I think it looks pretty good. I don’t know why everyone’s knocking it.
Shouldn’t it be standing in front of a moving train?
Why not a statue for Subhas Chandra Bose, head of state for the Provisional Government of Free India?
I knew a Patel at one time, she said that in the caste system that wasn’t a great last name to have. Can’t remember anything else about that.
There are some really large-assed statues of Buddha around, which is ironic if you know anything about Buddhism. :^) The previous record-holder was a Chinese state-sponsored statue of Buddha. This Patel statue is obviously more secular.

Largest statue in Africa is more secular, self-aggrandizing, and oddly it’s in Senegal:

Is this a joke? He looks like a ‘honey-dipper’
Should he be saying very loudly “thank you berry much. Please come again. Have a nice day” in a 7/11 uniform?
600 feet
Ratio 6’:7”
Ratio 600’:700”/12
Ratio 600’:58’
Impressive.
Ask Joe Biden.
MY dad I’d bigger than YOUR dad!
Do other countries think that a bigger statue will eclipse Liberty?
I’d never heard of this one, so I looked it up. Here it is:
And....I kind of like it. Art critics apparently hate it. Wikipedia says they complain that the figure aren’t “African” enough, and display “macho sexism”. In the meantime, local imams complain that it’s “immodest”.
Well. No wonder I like it.
IOW, the statue of *cough* “unity” ain’t the Statue of LIBERTY
As scale, the St. Louis Arch is 630 feet at its highest point...that’s a big mama!
Good gosh - do they have to bow down and worship it when they hear the music play?
