A tallest bronze statue measuring 182m high, costing some £350 million pounds erected in Gujarat at the river island facing Sardar Sarovar Dam on river Narmada in Rajpipla ,62 miles from Vadodra has been initiated and proudly unveiled by Narendra Modi. There has been lot of criticism and protest for justification of the staggering cost. This statue is the symbol of unity. Annexation of 565 states into new forming country India was not an easy task at the time. Sardar, a selfless, determined statesman accomplishment of the noble deed of unification is invaluable, priceless.
Sardar had a strong conviction that unity is of paramount importance to India without which it will fall. The country has sustained the unity in the adverse situation, progressed and is stronger than ever. There is no doubt that at the level of progress India is making it is set to reach a great height in not too distant future. Congratulations to Modi in honouring the great son of India for his unparallel contributions to the country.
