$33,300,000 Our foreign aid to India.
We just paid for part of that.
Well. No wonder I like it.
To me it says "Family", and so I like it too.
I found some viewable shots here, neat idea, although in some places in the US the whole thing would vanish in weeks as street bums dismantled it case by case for the refunds and/or to build a "house" somewhere by the river.
and we send foreign aid to India of $33,300,000!!!
Looks like they don’t need our help after all!
I like it. He’s chill, which is cool in case he ever comes to life. He won’t destroy Tokyo or anything, he’ll just put the stars on Christmas trees.
Because we send $33,300,000 foreign ‘aid to India’ ad not to build statues.
I agree; not a very heroic pose at all.
That’s a disgusting statement.....get out of the gutter!
“The Statue of Unity..” Is this a joke? Photoshop? No way something so lame would be built.
"The colossal statue is vibration and earthquake proof and can withstand wind velocity of up to 60 metres/second." 
It will have a viewing gallery at 153 m or 500 feet, which can accommodate up to 200 visitors at a go, and will offer an expansive view of the beautiful Satpura and Vindhyachal mountain ranges, the 212 km long Sardar Sarovar Reservoir, and the 12 km long Garudeshwar Reservoir. For the comfort of the visitors against high wind forces, a 400-ton Tuned Mass Damper system has been provided above the observation deck.
Get off the thread and clean up your act
How far would that money have gone to actually help the people of India? What a waste.
I understand the Sardar Patel statue has already obtained an H1B Visa as a software engineer with a PhD.
With only a few minor adjustments...
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and television fans all over, uh, the living room floor. Tonight’s drama is called “The Manacles” and features a pair of these attractive and useful charm bracelets...
Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
I’ve heard the first 500 visitors each day get a free Slurpee.
“It will have a viewing gallery at 153 m”
The visitors will be peeking out from his zipper?
Or behind?
The view out the rear may be a bit constricted?
Someday America will build a taller one for President Trump.
