Hello and welcome back!
A few days ago, India made a significant impact
upon geographical landmarks, by erecting the world's tallest structure - The Statue of Unity, wherein is sculpted our Iron man, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel - who was the man responsible for uniting the diverse states into an united identity of a nation called India.
This 182m long statue erected in the state of Gujarat, is an architectural marvel signifying both India's significant progress in the field of science, architecture and technology and India's message to the world - that it believes in Unity not just of It's People, but the Unity of all people who are citizens of the world, irrespective of wherever they originate from.
