Statue of Unity: A Towering Display of Nationalism


Ever since the Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the Statue of Unity in Narmada district, Gujarat, the opponents and critics have been raising one question: 

What does strongman showmanship look like? 


To critics like Anjani Trivedi, a Bloomberg Opinion columnist, it’s 25,000 tons of steel, 3,550 tons of bronze and 210,000 cubic meters of cement and concrete — towering over the world at a cost of about $400 million in India. Such critics view strongman showmanship as the likeness of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a leader of the independence movement known as the “Ironman of India,” who died in 1950.

 At 182 meters (597 feet), it’s the tallest such structure in the world — double the height of the Statue of Liberty and more than 40 per cent higher than China’s Spring Temple Buddha.

Naysayers. They regard this display of nationalism as ostentatious which comes at the expense of other priorities.  And they try to figure out all the things the statue didn't do. For them, it’s symbolic of the Modi government’s ability to push through spending on populist causes – even those that displace villages, sugarcane mills and farmers — while more urgent needs go unaddressed.

Critics' concerns. 


- The cost $400 million could have been spent elsewhere. This is:

= around 90% of the central government’s annual budget for the skill development and entrepreneurship ministry;
or
= around 90% of the development expenditure budget for roads and bridges
or
= the amount required to irrigate 40,000 hectares of land 
or
= the biotech department’s planned spending
or
= double that of the ministry of shipping

- All that cement and concrete could have been used to pave decrepit roads that cause thousands of deaths every year.

- The amount $400 million was mobilised through state-backed companies - gas giant GAIL India Ltd. and Oil India Ltd -  through their corporate social responsibility departments to support the project each putting in about $3.4 million.

- The efficiency of the government machinery stands in stark contrast to India’s modus operandi when it comes to infrastructure. Larsen & Toubro Ltd., India’s largest construction company, took less than three years to erect the statue. By comparison, China needed 11 years to construct its Buddha.

Facts of the matter.


Brand Value. In Business jargon, this is one factor which not only brings in the initial investment, but it also sustains working capital and above all credibility. The Statue of Unity symbolises just that. The region in particular and the whole Nation, in general, may now attract more investments and command more respect. The magnitude and scale can only be fathomed by the first day first show performance.

Critics sound like the proverbial story of sour grapes being retold. The opposition opposes only for the sake of opposing.  They will oppose anything being done by the ruling party, and try to find fault lines. That's why they are in the opposition. After all, there will always be naysayers who will say it should not have been done.

In the case of the Statue of Unity, it is not just the amount $400 million, 25,000 tons of steel, 3,550 tons of bronze and 210,000 cubic meters of cement and concrete that is visible in a strongman showmanship towering over rest of the world. It is much more than that. It also includes technical acumen, an artist's vision, and a powerful political will which together make the end result a priceless work of art and an engineering marvel.

If someone gives you $800 million, then can you create even 10% of this strongman showmanship?

Now comes the awesome part. Displace villages, sugarcane mills, skill development and farmers. 


The entire set of people working there today is from the region itself which were earlier very poor. People whose lands were acquired for the project have already been given alternative lands and pucca houses. The business at the complex is run by local residents and more attractions will be added as the complex will grow in stature. There are young boys and girls in grey uniforms and work as "guides". They are from the very poor, farmer and tribal families. A glimpse of it has been shown to the world on TV on the of the inauguration. 

For the entire project, training centres have been set up to skill these people according to their interest and ability. The guides get 25K if they can speak only Gujarati, 35K if they can speak Hindi and 45K if they can also speak English. This is a Central government run place so they get sarkari jobs. Officers are constantly on the move identifying and training these folks for the different kinds of jobs. They are extremely happy with this project as it has transformed their lives, love Modi and do not stop singing his praises.

"This monument will not just be a mute memorial like the rest, but a fully functional, purpose-serving tribute,’’ the Statue of Unity’s website says, promising it will spur all sorts of socioeconomic development. 

It's a big job accomplished. 


Its a huge achievement. Not only India’s infrastructure, but every sector of the economy, every office of the bureaucracy can draw inspiration from this ironclad resolve to attain any goal.

That is indeed optimistic. Even though the cost of an entrance ticket is as much as that of daily earning of an unskilled worker in Delhi, it symbolises a towering feeling of self-respect. That worker may not visit the place in his life time, but, who knows, a much bigger monument than this can be erected for him. In other words, in the next 70 years or so, one or more monuments like this will be made. Some other place, some other legend. That legend today could be the one of the thousands of those so-called unskilled workers sweating in the lanes and by-lanes of Delhi ! 

Solar energy is Easily The Cheapest Source of Energy

In this world we live in, solar energy is easily the cheapest source of energy that there is. However, you have got to be able to tap into it and then convert it into more usable forms. That is what you need a solar panel for. And if you still have a lot of questions about it, you might want to consider reading on or finding some other website on the internet with a whole lot of information on the subject.




If your solar panels are not very good, you could have wasted all of your time trying to use solar energy. Too much time and energy will be wasted in the process, and you only can have yourself to blame for it. After all you are the one who made your choices, aren't you? You are the one who will have to live with the consequences of them then.

The United States has one impressive national grid for the transmission of power. The problem is that generating and transmitting power this way is by no means an inexpensive venture to keep up with. Solar panels are expensive to acquire the first time, but they cost next to nothing to maintain. As such they are cheaper… and safer to have overall.

When you have done extensive research on Solar Energy, you will find that you need to have solar panels otherwise you would waste most of the incoming energy without corresponding results. You just need to get the solar panels so that you can be part of those reaching into the limitless and inevitable future.

It does not matter where you are in the world – in the Caribbean or in the UK – your solar energy output isn't worth a lot without solar panels. These are the components that tap into the energy of the sun and convert it into usable forms. You need the panels because without them there really isn't a whole lot you can achieve.

When you get tired of paying power bills, you might want to consider generating power on your own. The way out of that is through the solar panel, which allows you to get your own energy out of the sun and use it for power. You might want to ask around to learn about it, or you might just get a rep from the manufacturing firm come over. Why, if you could afford to purchase the panel, you can also afford to get the professional to come offer a helping hand.

If you don't know a thing about solar panels, don't try to install one on your own. It should be simple enough to do, but you don't want to damage the thing trying to find that out. They are rather expensive to come about anyway. And since there are professionals out there whose services you can retain affordably, why not have one of them come in and help?|When you buy you some solar panels, you might want to acquaint yourself with the manufacturer’s manual before you get to fiddling around with it. With what you spent getting them, you don't want to have to buy another one too soon, do you? But that might be just what happens if you go and damage it, you know.

Maintaining a solar panel is about the easiest thing in the world. You could just clean its surfaces once in a while and be done with it. They often don't require a lot of work.

There are several solar panel firms in the United States today, but they all work almost the same principle. That principle is what you want to get a hang on before you buy your solar panel. It might be the only way you will ever enjoy owning the device.

If they don't provide the installation solutions for your solar panels, you can’t do anything with it. Not that they are difficult to install, but you don't want to make any mistakes in the process. In such an instance, look around for a professional to help out. It’s not like they are too hard to find, not when you have the yellow pages and the internet at your disposal.

Solar panels are popular enough these days for most people to have a clue about how they work. If you don't, you could go online and download the information. Whatever the case, you don't need to be the only person who knows next to nothing about them. Delete your ignorance with any kind of information you can dig up anywhere you can lay your hands on it. You know it would be totally worth your while.

The world is going green, what with global warming and all that. Now everyone needs to find a way to limit how much fallout they release into the environment, and you don't want to be left behind. What you need is to get you a couple of solar panels to help with the energy issues that are teeming all around you. You cannot say you haven't noticed.
