The “World’s Tallest Statue” that India spent five years building will be unveiled on October 31. In order to build the statue, the Prime Minister of India called on Indian farmers to donate iron farming tools. In addition, this hugely-funded statue has caused quite a stir in India due to its involvement in “Made in China”.
The statue was erected in the town of Kawadiya in Gujarat, on an island in the Narmada River, to commemorate Patel, one of the founding fathers of India. Patel in the statue is dressed in a shirt and shawl, and the folds of the clothes are also depicted.
The builder said that the design height of the statue is 182 meters, which is about twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the United States and five times that of the Christ Statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Another 1,850 tons of copper were spent to build the statue. Inside the statue will be a visitor center and museum, with an observation deck inside the statue. This ambitious project was launched in 2010. On October 31, 2013, the statue officially started construction in India.

Patel was one of the early leaders of the Indian National Congress Party and played an important role in the Indian independence movement. After India’s independence, he served as the first Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Home Affairs. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is a member of the BJP, a political opponent of the Congress party. According to Western media analysis, Modi actively promoted the construction of the Patel statue, and pointed at the Nehru-Gandhi family. The statue has also sparked a heated debate in India because of its involvement in “Made in China”. It turned out that the main body of the sculpture was mainly cast by Chinese companies, and more than 700 workers here were responsible for smelting the world’s largest statue components and transporting them to India for assembly. Based on reports from India’s “Weekly” and New Delhi TV, Rahul Gandhi, chairman of the Indian opposition Congress Party, accused Indian Prime Minister Modi of using raw materials from China, causing Indians to lose thousands of job opportunities and “deceiving India” people”.
