Most countries have hailed India's achievement of building the tallest statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, but Britain, which ruled India for over 200 years, thinks India's idea of building the 182-metre State of Unity was a "total nonsense". The British country donated over 1.17 billion pounds (over Rs 9,492 crore) to India as foreign aid in the course of over five years it took to build the colossal bronze statue on a XXXX of the Narmada River in Gujarat. Though funds were given for various social projects, including women's rights issues, renewable energy projects, and to encourage "religious tolerance", the UK leaders think it should not have done so as India could have easily afforded money for such projects had it not invested around Rs 3,000 crore on the 2,000-tonne statue.

Its Members of Parliament are of the view that if India can afford to spend over Rs 2,989 crore on building the statue of the freedom fighter, which is twice the height of the State of Liberty in the US, Britain should not give funds to India at all.

In Pics: Shocking cost of saving world's amazing buildings from ruin

Iconic architecture in need of repair: All over the world there are iconic pieces of historical architecture that were in such a bad state of disrepair they could have literally fallen apart piece by piece. Some of these buildings are still at risk of total ruin. We take a look at some of the most well-known structures and examine what, if anything, has being done to restore them to their former glory. As you'll see, some of the costs involved are astronomical.

"To take 1.1 billion pounds in aid from us and then at the same time spend 330 million pounds on a statue is a total nonsense and it is the sort of thing that drives people mad," Conservative Party MP Peter Bone said on November 2, reported Daily Mail.

He added that the UK should do away with giving aids to India. "It is up to them how they spend their money but if they can afford this statue, then it is clearly a country we should not need to be giving aid to," said the Tory Parliamentarian.

As per the report, the UK donated 300 million pounds to India in the year 2012 when the project was started. India received 268 million pounds in 2013, 278 million pounds in 2014, and 185 million pounds in 2015.

Critiques in the British country believe that since India is the world's fastest growing economy, and is the world leader on several fronts, including business and space, it should not be given foreign aids. They maintain that India already gives more money to several poorer countries across the world than it receives as foreign donations, despite having a vast majority of the population living in poverty.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the world's tallest statue on October 31 on the statesman's 143rd birth anniversary. The Statue of Unity was constructed by construction and engineering company, Larsen & Toubro Ltd, on the islet of Sadhu Bet. At 182 metre, the mammoth replica of Sardar Patel is the world's tallest statue, leaving behind USA's Statue of Liberty (93 metre), Japan's Ushiku Daibutsu (120 metre) and even China's Spring Temple Buddha (153 metre) statues. The statue has been built to withstand winds of 180km/hour and earthquakes of up to 6.5 Richter scale.

అంత పెద్ద విగ్రహం నిర్మిస్తారా.. ఇక మేం సాయం చేయం

0343056BRK-PATEL-UK.JPG

లండన్‌: భారత్ ప్రపంచంలోనే అతి ఎత్తైన సర్దార్‌ పటేల్‌ విగ్రహం నిర్మించడం ఓ చెత్తపని అని బ్రిటన్‌కు చెందిన ఓ ఎంపీ తప్పుపట్టారు. ఒక పక్క తమ నుంచి రూ.9,492 కోట్లను ఆర్థిక సాయం రూపంలో భారత్‌ తీసుకొందని.. అదే సమయంలో దాదాపు రూ.3వేల కోట్లు వెచ్చించి ఆ భారీ విగ్రహాన్ని నిర్మించిందని కన్జర్వేటీవ్‌ పార్టీ ఎంపీ పీటర్‌ బోన్‌ విమర్శించారు. ప్రభుత్వం ప్రజలను తప్పుదోవ పట్టిస్తోందన్నారు. తాము ఐదేళ్లలో భారత్‌కు పలు ప్రత్యేక ప్రాజెక్టుల కోసం నిధులను అందజేశామని తెలిపారు. మహిళల హక్కులకు సంబంధించి, పునరుత్పాదక ఇంధన రంగంలోని ప్రాజెక్టులు, మతపరమైన సహనం పెంపొందించడానికి ఈ నిధులను సాయం రూపంలో అందించామన్నారు. ‘స్టాట్యూ ఆఫ్‌ యూనిటీ’ వంటి ప్రాజెక్టులకు భారత్‌ వేలకోట్ల రూపాయలు వెచ్చించగలుగుతున్నప్పుడు ఇక తాము సాయం చేయాల్సిన అవసరం లేదన్నారు. మరికొందరు ఎంపీలు కూడా పీటర్‌ అభిప్రాయంతో ఏకీభవించారు.

కొన్నేళ్లుగా యుకే భారత్‌లోని వివిధ పథకాలకు ఆర్థిక సాయం అందజేస్తోంది. 2012లో 300 మిలియన్‌ పౌండ్లు, 2013లో 268 మిలియన్‌ పౌండ్లు, 2014లో 278 మిలియన్‌ పౌండ్లు, 2015లో 185 మిలియన్‌ పౌండ్లు అందజేసింది. ఇదే సమయంలో భారత్‌లో భారీ పటేల్‌ విగ్రహ నిర్మాణం ప్రారంభమైంది. వేగంగా అభివృద్ధి చెందుతుండటంతో భారత్‌కు ఆర్థిక సాయం ఆపేయాలని బ్రిటన్‌లోని పలు వర్గాలు డిమాండ్‌ చేస్తున్నాయి.
