WHY THIS SARDARA SARDARA DI?????

 

On 31^st October I woke up from my bed in the early morning…after finishing my daily routine works had a strong strong coffee with a good aroma…which completely rejuvenated myself to give me a kick start for my day….then went on for my daily work and daily routine life…I just flipped through the newspaper and nothing as usual found out…except some good articles here and there…during my lunch time I just switched on d TV to know wats goin on around d world n just got to know that 2day was SARDAR VALLABHBHAI JAYANTI ….I said to myself ok…happy bday sir with no offense from my heart…but how does it matter to me???..hahha…had there been d bday of my GF or my frnd then I must have thought of some plans of going out for a restaurant or anything else....then a news flashed in the tv like “BREAKING NEWS”…WORLD’S TALLEST STATUE IN INDIA to be made on NARMADA RIVER….i again said ok..thats great but still how does it matter to me….I as an AAM ADMI has bloody hell different jobs…had I known dat PETROL PRICE has reduced would have given me relief because  next time when I shall take out my girlfriend for a ride will not have to  bother about the petrol price…or had the  DOMINOES PIZZA rates would have reduced then would have  given me a smile to my face…but no all this did not happen but what I saw is a STATUE of a man is being built at the cost of some around 2000cr… here I forgot the words “THE WORLD’S TALLEST”…and again to add to my woes I have to see the morons or I will say numer uno or numer unee of our media like CNN IBN or NDTV or INDIA TV who will utter their stupidity d moment u drop your hat…they started to convince us  again and again by repeating d same lines of “2000cr”…as if earlier whatever statues are being made in our country were shown the amounts and the cost benefit analysis…haha...again deleting the word “THE WORLD’S TALLEST”….1^st I got frustrated and felt the pain of what we r spending our money for this A STATUE…don’t u think it is too costly affair…and all the adjectives like POVERTY ,UNEMPLOYMENT,PRICE RISE n wat not filled the empty vacuum of my grey matter in the brain...then again said to myself CHOD NAA YAAR apne ko kya….and again went on my work….again without giving the iota of thought wat this STATUE all about…in the night after finishing my work my best friend SASANK called me and with all the excitement and joy as if he has won “KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI” spoke to me and told me with vigour that “do you know today the history is in the making in INDIA??..i said with little dampness in my voice what “HISTORY” which HISTORY is he talking about BABAR,AKBAR or about BRITISHERS…
                            
                                       Then he said to me “DO YOU KNOW WORLD’S TALLEST STATUE will be made in our country”…for the 1st time throughout the day I got remembered about the words “WORLD’S TALLEST”…

it banged me straight to my mind how come I forgot these words…is it due to the face of morons in media or due to my daily routine life that I could not get essence of wat is going to be made or due to my ignorance and narrow mindedness which showed only the amount of money  figure ..…I still thought ok a TALLEST STATUE …so what ??I asked him with a heavy tone in my voice… it is a sheer waste of money and nothing else where I told again all the adjectives which I said to myself earlier told  my friend …and after that the way my best friend SASANK responded changed the whole perspective of discussion..

                                          
                                                   1^st of all he asked me who is SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATEL???I answered quickly THE IRON MAN OF INDIA…and then asked me what else….it gave me a strong whip to my mind and I asked to myself “what else????”…he is a good man...a freedom fighter and a great person….a noble person without having an iota of knowledge about him…I beat around d bush…sasank then told me “is that all or u want more to beat around the bush"and smiled …..i smiled again because he reads my mind better than any friend could read in my life….
                                                           Then he went ahead that this statue is being built up in the picturesque background of SATPURA hills of gujurat and on the NARMADA river…then told me why that place has been choosen where it can be made in any part of Ahmedabad and gandhinagar….he told me the area where it has been selected is totally a underdeveloped area and lacks any resource base where any industry can be made up…plus it is being situated on a river island far from dust and pollution of the city….let us take an example of STATUE OF LIBERTY ,RIO DE JANERIO’s CHRIST THE REDEEMER what does it achieved in the world…it showed the whole world that they have world class monuments and ppl throng to visit those areas to see the architectural marvel….last time we got a architectural marvel is in 1650s i.e TAJMAHAL..n wat after that….we have nothing to show to the world …”saale log bhi paak gaye hai iss MUMTAZ and SHAHJAHAN ke prem kahani dekhte dekhte”….then coming to benefits of wat we are going to achieve…

 

                                       

How do you create a IDENTITY of a country....either u must have good architecture marvel, or good monuments ,or a good gdp growth rate or good at sports etc etc..so there r different means to create recognition and name for ur country.....so it creates an image in international FORUM.it gives you an identity and it helps u in GLOBAL POSITIONING of your COUNTRY....and it shows the calibere,the capability of the engineers and researchers ,d unity of a country to showcase the power of country in international arena........lets think one scenario had shahjahan thought of not building TAJ MAHAL...then u must definitely thought wat benefit we could hv taken if our country could hv an architectural marvel...what benefit STATUE OF LIBERITY is taking in HUDSON RIVER...or the EMPIRES STATES BUILDING in USA..

HAV u ever heard of RIO DE JANERIO's CHRIST THE REDEMEER STATUE..IF NOT just google it out ..don't u feel a breathtaking view or a panoramic view when you see the CHRIST THE REDEMEER STATUE.. ..and brazil is not fool to invest in those things neither any other country to protect and preserve its monuments....N i hope if you have been to NEW YORK then it is definite that one must not miss those 2 ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTS..similarly this is not a STATUE what we see in our day to day life..

 

 

 

 

1st of all this is the WORLD'S TALLEST STATUE. I AGAIN REPEAT WORLD'S TALLEST STATUE......

 

 

2nd thing where it is going to be built... it is going to be built on the narmada river with the picturesque satpura hills In the backdrop and SARDAR SAROVER DAM...
              
So now coming to benefits. ...

1) It will help in influx of foreigners in a remote area where there was hardly any development due to lack of any resource base...

2) it will help the people of that area in getting employment opportunity as many hotels will come up for giving lodging facilities..

3) it will help in creation of good roads which can connect it..

4) it will help in restoration of ecological sanctity of that place as more foreigners means more money and more money means we will beautify the place...

5) it will help in skill development of the ppl so that the guides can be recruited to explain the life history of IRON MAN of INDIA...

6) it will help in influx of foreign dollars which will help in reducing the CAD(CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT)..it means the foreign dollars will help us to reduce our debt burden.....

7) it will help our COUNTRY to have a global recognition in world arena that if someone GOOGLES that where is the world's tallest statue then he will come to know about our COUNTRY...

8) there will b a research centres, amusement parks , and a amphitheatre where people can learn d history of this great nation,the plight of the IRON MAN who united country despite of all hiccups..plus the research centre will help to bring the talents of young minds to go for upliftment of tribal areas of the country...

9)many adjoining areas will develop to attract tourists or d business bigwigs...

10) INDIA can develop its SOFT POWER...it means INDIA WILL ATTRACT the attention of the whole world to give its DUE RECOGNITION in the world arena without using force or coercion...a country like QATAR is hosting world class events like football world cup with huge investment for only a few days of events... does that mean it is sheer wastage of money OR  are they fools ...but no it helps in building their SOFT POWER.. country like CHINA or JAPAN are not fool enough to spend billions of rupees for OLYMPICS GAMES though they have poverty issues ...but these events helps to attract foreign investments as well as project your country's strong image in world forum…for that  u have to focus on your SOFT POWER….and do u think the country who invest in nuclear weapons or in mars mission are fools or do they want to fight with nuclear warfare in each n every day???......but my friend it showcase the talent and it showcase the power that YES WE AS A NATION CAN GIVE TOUGH FIGHT WITH THE OTHER COUNTRIES

11) last but not the least the statue will be made up of iron implements collected from the each farmer's agricultural tools and there will be a digital book created where each village's history and their role in INDEPENDENCE will be written in it... plus every village and every citizen of our country will be connected in this project . So that everyone will like to participate in this project and feel a sense of proudness in his heart that he/she is also a contributing in this WORLD CLASS MONUMENT..

do u want more points..my friend SASANK  told me…and I was like shocked…with no reply from my side….
                HE went on saying “I can add more no of issues with it...the imp. thing is that we are creating an ASSET not a liability..it will give us the pride back to the citizens which they have lost due to 200yrs of foreign rule.. my dear frnd it helps in creation of BRAND INDIA IMAGE and helps in branding our products. A TALLEST STATUE OR FASTEST TRAIN or anything of larger than life importance will always create an impact on the whole world…..

                                                  WE  like dominoes or KFC not because they are cost effective but because they have created a brand name with which we want to get associated..it is not out of blue that TCS is conducting a 10K MARATHON in USA or the all the companies which are investing in creating their brand....it's just to create the brand name....and my dear friend it is very difficult to establish A BRAND NAME in the world ARENA.....the people who have narrow mind set like in the media will never understand the greatness and  cannot understand the history which is in the process of making......don't copy paste in your mind what PAID media LIKE CNN IBN n NDTV or anyone like them shows to you... had the paid media would not have shown us the amount it was being spent it would not have come up in our mind….that gave me another jolt that “yes nobody is discussing what we will achieve”.. .he again said that my friend “a half baked truth is more dangerous than a lie”.......reason it out with yourself and analyse it what media is showing to u......GOD has given u a brain for analysing not for copy pasting ...ANALYSE ANALYSE and if still do not understand ANALYSE WITH URSELF AGAIN.....and if still unable to take pride out of it...
                                          Then let me tell u 1 thing that I am sure that you and your family will definitely visit the place once in a lifetime and then when you would be taking a stroll in the garden there and when u will hear that a foreigner will be praising your country and THE STATUE OF UNITY n SARDAR vallabh bhai patel ji..then I can tell with utmost confidence that your heart will be filled with proudness...or if u ever go to foreign tour then the moment u say u r INDIAN then the world will recognise that "OH U R FROM THAT COUNTRY where there is a WORLD'S TALLEST STATUE STATUE OF  UNITY"...this is the power of branding....THEN I can guarantee you that, at that point of time your heart will be filled with tears of patriotism and joy ..we always take proud wen we as ODIAs visit any other state and if asked about our introduction then people will definitely come to know him/her bcoz HE/SHE is from the land of LORD JAGANNATH…the expression must b "oh u r from JAGANNATH DHAM"..THIS gives u an identity...
                                       
                                           "THE sun rises in the east" and everyone knows that EASTERN CULTURE is more supreme than WESTERN CULTURE but due to 200yrs of subjugation under BRITISHERS we have forgotten our identity and we have forgotten our past legacy...a nation is not  developed due to stone and bricks but due to it’s people and people needs confidence to show the world YES THEY CAN ALSO DO IT and compete with all the DEVELOPED COUNTRIES......once the project is over and you should be grateful that you don't have to visit to NEW YORK to watch WORLD'S TALLEST STATUE..

 

                                                             A complete silence and tears filled with my eyes that how come I don’t know these things that we as a nation can also achieve the impossible and can also make greatest, largest, strongest and tallest things…why we always follow the directions of others where we can also show the direction to the whole world…it is not the bricks and walls of TCS and INFOSYS which make a company great but due to the people who are working their and giving each effort to help in success of a company…it helps in taking pride in saying we are working at TCS or INFY..it is due to the people who have created the brand name TCS n INFOSYS...and we always like to be associated with it…

 Then my friend SASANK told me that it will change the future course of action and people will bow their heads infront of our INDIA …

A HISTORY IS GOING TO BE MADE AND LET US ALL COME TOGETHER FRNDS ....I can tell you that next time when our kids will be asked question from their teachers in their school that "where is world's tallest statue??"then the answer would come straight from heart of ur child i.e. INDIA....with a cute smile in their face....:)...

 With this my best friend bade me a good bye and said don’t worry dear I am here with you throughout my life to help u in any situation where you will not be feeling happy and  to guide you in right direction.. …
                                The call ended but it created a sense of proudness and satisfaction of being an INDIAN and removed all the narrow mindedness which have been inflicted in my mind towards a statue..…

                               thnxxxxxx my best friend and highly indebted towards u as always..….
