HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 мар 2022
- 182 metres tall and decorated with 12,000 uniquely-crafted bronze panels, India’s 50-storey Statue Of Unity is a triumph of aesthetics and engineering. And get this - it’s made from melted-down old farm equipment.

Incredible how little publicity this has in the West. Bravo India, I hope you invest to keep it standing forever.
Western culture. Us Americans only care about ourselves
yeah - the US and China literally had to do it for them.
For such a major achievement by the US and China, you think they would have covered it more.
I saw it once a while back and wasn't even sure if it was true
@@ec6052world collaboration I guess
Its beyond amazing what mankind can do. From pens to airplanes, vibrators to gigantic statues, its astonishing. But why is it so damn difficult to drive correctly?
They should have built an enormous vibrator instead.
Just imagine the severity of the earthquake it would cause lol
@@frankmcnally996 please read about geography of India before commenting. Half knowledge is always dangerous.
I ask my wife this every time she comes home with a sheepish expression on her face after borrowing my car. F*cking bitch.
Vibrators are the pinnacle of human achievement
I never knew this existed until today. It is extraordinary. Dwarfs the statue of liberty. All credit to the architects and engineers. A must see if I get the opportunity.
That doesn't say much. Lady Liberty doesn't even notch the top 20 biggest statues/monuments in the world. It's just the most famous.
We only have fake news, only propaganda. I bet you know women are men, and men are women, who can get pregnant.
The statue not being very popular internationally (especially compared to the Statue of Liberty) says something, that it wasn't done for clout or a world record or such but was indeed made as a powerful symbol, which makes it even better!
the statue of liberty is literally so small compared to some statues lol
@@dandandan18 that much money for a useless statue.
It's amazing that it is not mainly constructed for the sake of some title/ just to break a record in guineas book of world records, etc. But because it is meaningful for its country
Burj Khalifa 🤭
Made in China 🤦♂
You can hit two birds with one stone
@@m2gautam buildings and statues are different..
It was intended to be the biggest statue in the world. Unfortunately India lack the expertise to built it itself but seek China's help.
you have to see it in real life to appreciate the scale of it.
I'm a little obsessed with this statue; it's unbelievably huge, but it looks just like the person. He could be waiting for a taxi.
2:52 i cant even imagine how scary sitting in that crane would be at almost 180 meters
What amazing symbolism that it used discarded farm machinery and enlisted the help of many countries
Joke-wise: If there ever was a Kaiju attack, The Statue of Unity would be our go-to to fend off the monster. Haha!
Also, this man Sardar Patel is known as Iron Man of India, so ig, he can definitely help to defend 😅😂
Joke-wise: They should send your mom instead, since she can certainly handle my Monster Cock. Haha!
$500 million ... And most of the money went to China and Singapore?? Why?? If India doesn't have the capability to design and make it all in India, why try to make it right now? Looks impressive but why??
Had an opportunity to visit it recently. Great piece of engineering marvel and execution. India should be really proud of this achievement.
Wow. I have never seen this before. It's definitely not an eye sore. It's a beautiful work of art.
imagine seeing it irl
its garbage lol
@@unitycatalog just like your mom produced 😊
@@unitycatalogtakes one to see one
@@neethan30 cope🤣🤣🤣now go build a pedestrian bridge in morbi🤣🤣🤣
This statue is amazing. Up close is the only way to truly gauge the size, especially of cuppa! Truly amazing
Do visit India and witness it. Among the thousands of other ancient sites.
Remarkable. I think things like this are worth it for the inspiration they provide to the people and their children. It lets them know humanity can do great things when we work together.
You must be beyond foolish for thinking such things.
That money could have been spent to fight their poverty but no, arrogance and politics are stronger than the alleged good will.
It's a monument to the idiocy.
An insult to the future generations.
@@marikishtarWhile I may not have as much vitriol about it, I can't say that I disagree with you. In the Bible, Jesus remarks that, "the poor will always be with you," not as an excuse to do less for them, but in recognition that there is also value in expending resources in paying tribute. In the West, it used to be that the tallest point in a given town was the church steeple - a testament to what the populace most "looked up to." Now, the tallest statue we - as a planet - have is a statue of "unity" - which I think is a euphemism for the centralizing of power. Which might also be put, as you say, "arrogance and politics."
Absolutely 💯
@@marikishtarRead a little bit of before making ignorant comments.
The Indian state of Gujarat where this statue is is located is a highly industrialized part of India where many people have been lifted out of of poverty. Also this is a state with many many small and medium businesses
@@MarcillaSmith Marik is an ignoramus who generalizes about this he knows nothing about
It's beautiful and majestic !
Just had the privilege to visit the amazing Statue of Unity in Gujarat .... courtesy a Training Tour conducted by Govt of Haryana for HCS Officers....Don't miss the Light & Sound Show in the evening 🙏
It is shit. Slum people agit in that river
Impressive engineering. And a beautiful statue.
I'm just now learning of this statue. Incredible. I'd love to see this someday. Not just up close, but from a great distance away too.
Now New Zealand should actually build the statues from Fellowship of the Ring. 😁
Impressive. I hope to see it on my 3rd visit to India
You've been twice 👏👏👏
But it made in a foreign country, then assembled for them in India. So are you still interested to see it ?
@@jacku8304 I was impressed by the African Renaissance Statue in Dakar Senegal that was made in North Korea. An impressive one for sure
@@noodengr3three825 I really like your way of appreciating art for art sake.
I think it a great project and will go and see it. But yes the money could of been spent on helping poverty, however a tourist site like this will help bring in more revenue for the Indian government, India is getting better as time goes on. Thanks for sharing this.
In the last five years, india has taken 45 million people out of poverty. Today, there are less than one percent people below poverty line. 😁😁😁😁India is making its infrastructure beautiful. Because of this india has become best place for foreign investment surpassing USA.😜😜😜😜😜😜
@@heatwave-bm5ht Well that's great news. I'm not Jealous at all. The only thing I'm Jealous about is the hot weather your having. Ha ha 😂 🤣 iv just supported you.
@@CarlsVlogs Sorry, i thought you also see india as a poor country. Because this is what western media is showing about india. They don't show how beautiful and advanced are india. They have brainwashed forigners about our mother india (bharat mata)
I see monument represent the whole culture or you can say country... If you think about USA.. You have mount Rushmore & Statue of liberty same goes to other countries. So indian had taj mahal which in no way representative of indian culture or it's history.
So the new india is trying to step foot in the world with representing itself in it's best way
Actually it is a state sponsored project and Gujarat ( the state in which it is build ) is more developed than other states . As india is a federal country so every state has budget which it could use in any ways
Well as India is a developing country, in view of that a large sums of amount that was spent on this gigantic statue is a point of discussion. But everyone has to agree on that this is an engineering marvel.
Thank you so much for making this video. We will love if you can make more India centric videos.
Bro its just a way to thank this man who unite our nation
Thanks to him India is what it is right now
He United our nation but where is he mentioned in history book. Only two names you can find in history books
@@ar2543 Even Asoka wasn't mentioned in the History books, we only got to know about him in the late 19th century because the work of some British archaeologists. So does that translate into that Asoka wasn't the one of greatest ruler the world has ever seen.
There not a single doubt about Patel's contributions towards the making of Modern India in my mind.
I have found considerable amount of mention of Sardar in my textbooks from my childhood. I don't know what type of History book you are taking about.
@@ar2543 exactly
4 billion in wages doesn't seem a waste of money!
India has created some of the world's most beautiful statues.............
Like the Jatayu Statue in Kerala
That one is an absolute beauty
I think it's incredible. I didn't know this existed before today. It's amazing. I'd love to see it in person.
... In Person?... I Suppose That's True.. The Statue Represents a Person...That Teld Me Din't It Eh?...🤓🥂
@@TS-1267 You're a nice one.
Deeply meaningful and inspiring!
It's more than just a statue for us.
It fascinates me that photos of its original color are documented so that future people can see its former look before it eventually turns into a green statue like the Liberty.
I believe Patina is the word. Beautiful statue
Honestly it'll look even better green imo
The statue of liberty is made of bronze. This is made of steel. Steel turns brown.
@@BOOGiNS the exterior is not steel
If only there could be a future collection of photos of all the dead people the resources used for this statue could have saved.
I love it. That really puts India on the world stage.
Chinese, Indian and American companies - good Collaboration. 👍
It is shit. Slums are even better than this
Ship from China and assembled all parts for them.
This Is Brilliance. Fantastic Engineering
Great job Remembering our beloved Patel sir
Statue of unity is an iconic piece of India's engineering
Well technically it's actually China's (the company responsible for the project)
Do you even know was thw architect
It was designed by a
Chinese Architect firm in Shanghai
Made in china.

The lifespan of statue of unity is 1000 years not 100 years.....
very, very cool work. what an honor.
What a magnificent monument to fine man. Was surprised hearing the Statue Of Unity has its comparatively short 100-year life expectancy. Still at a mere $4 million a year to delight & inspire thousands of visitors is a bargain. When a nice patina sets in, it will be even more awesome. Nice India.

Very cool statue that I'm sad and surprised I've never heard of until now.
Very impressive design. The statue's location makes it a destination, must see...this will help locals tremendously!
Невероятно! Сколько усилий понадобилось для создания самой высокой в мире статуи.. 😮
Эти бы усилия и ресурсы да в нужное русло, ну, например, чтобы Дели не был городом с самым грязным воздухом в мире. Или там, чтобы люди не были экстремально нищими и не жили в лачугах из полиэтиленовых пакетов и шифера.

Alien Commander: Welp, lets try the next planet.
i was there a few months ago... its stunning
i think it's so good and very beautiful made
The spacing of the bronze outer tiles is also important for expansion and contraction with the temperature.
I m proud on the sardar vallabhai Patel.
It's a beautiful work of art and the most incredible recycling project I've ever seen. The only thing I would have any objection to is its placement if it's down river from a dam should the dam ever fail it would be submerged underwater Or destroyed.
If that dam fails they will have much bigger issues to deal with than a statue.
Beautiful and marvelous thing...love to more indian things
I hope they can make a 100 meter statue of forrest gump in alabama some day

Lol
Are you for real?
And they smell onions too. Dirty street foods.
What an amazing man Patel was! And the statue is beautiful. But I can't help but think that he would've been more pleased to have the $400 million go toward providing food and shelter to the many, many poor people in India.
Great video with great presentation
I think this was an extremely difficult project, but they got it together, and the result is awesome!
@wuzz I have a job for you. A nice little bridge between England and America. I have a hammer you can use.
@wzz-di1elhush, baby bro
proud to be an indian
Made in China :)
I never even heard of this statue--so much for school 🤣
This is truly remarkable and one day I will visit.
This statue is utterly phenomenal and a glorious tribute
Made in China for India. There is also staff attachment in China and technology transfer in the contract. Thus It will provide India the expertise to built another bigger statue.
@@jacku8304 cry more. For a statue, artists matter more than manufacturers. The artist was Indian. Engineers were Indian.
@@2596mrThe statue is based on a old Photographs. A model was made from it. Not a creative form but a copy made for reference. India engineers has no understanding and knowledge of internal supporting structures that will attach the bronze plate. China has the expertise not India. Thus, you can cry harder now.
@@jacku8304 You are kidding me right?
They literally hired one of the most prominent skulptor of India. Padmashree winner or something.
You think making a clay model to capture right expressions is an easy task? By your logic making art of mona lisa is just someones face. Have you ever done anything like that in your life? Skulpting is and art form. They scanned the sculpture and then that was sent to china so they can manufacture it. But what would you scan without the sculpture? My foot?
Geology, wind, all of it was considered and designed by Indian engineering.
Like i said you are a cry baby, who just can't appreciate anything India does and wants to bring a racist point of view. The status stands there and is a big achievement. There is nothing you can do to bring it down. apart from crying.
@@2596mr You are really a crown. You simply pluck out information from the net and make up stories and that is a joke. I studied Restoration arts and have knowledge of all aspects of sculpturing. You guys hired a sculptor to make a model based on photographs provided. He didn't sculpt or carve out of his original creation. One of the earlier lesson on sculpturing is to copy the model with various materials. That means copying. Your sculptor, no matter his standing is still copying from a photographs provided. Not original ideal. He just follows the contouring lines faithfully on given materials. If your sculptor carved an image of "Big Foot" he saw and using you small feet as example, then that's original. So now clap with feet instead of your hands.
India only does the paper work on land use approval from various department, landscaping the surrounding area, provide the concrete platform to withstand the weight of statue, etc. Simple basic stuff that is....
China then ship all materials, accompanied by structural engineers, technicians, welders, foreman, etc. Indian will provide laborers. Not forgetting the batch of people that China had provided "Technical transfer "were also there. Seemingly India will attempt to build the next world's biggest statue using the Chinese technology transferred to India on statue constructions. Now go cry an Ocean ! Lol......
I’d have preferred a statue of Padma Lakshmi, but this is pretty cool, too.
Seriously, I like that it’s a realistic statue of an ordinary-looking older man. Most of us are going to look something like this, if we live long enough !
Why do you want a statue of a masterchef judge?
@@malliyana201 Padma Lakshmi is a beautiful woman. It was a little joke.
He is no ordinary man tho
Except for women,but in india they dont get to choose😂

incredible and very artistic statue
For those who are saying ,that money should be used for poor , but in india there is already free ration ,subsidy on education and reservation for poor . Moreover india is a federal country, meaning each state in india is different and has state gov and budget , Gujarat is already doing well than other states ,so it is not wrong for them to build such thing , it would be different if it was Kerela or up
Why would u say kerala??
@@binoy2345 The statue was built in gujarat with their state's money , kerala govt is in a very good person's hand , soon kerala will come down
@@Acf9394 u r right our state government is in wrong hands he is looting all the money for himself and his family is having good life. But our state never used its money to build a statue, not in my knowledge. Pls feel free to correct me.
@@binoy2345 Kerala is a beautiful state which is getting looted by a bustard , I hope people underrstand it soon and kick him out. He is totally against hindus
@@Acf9394 yes I hope that day come soon. But one year before election he will come up with new schemes to blind fold common people and later take it back after he wins the election. I am so worried about the mother port coming to kerala... I am sure that he will drain massive amount from it. He is not doing anything to improve infrastructure. Only one thing he is doing is nh66 and that too slow 🐌😒.
Haow many hospitals, schools or benefit homes to poor men or ancient people could to build ??? It is stupid.
*Shadow of the Colossus theme starts playing ominously in the distance*
So amazing👏🏻
I'm packing my bags now - gotta see this incredible feat of modern engineering! India does not play 'second fiddle' when it comes to projects that push the limits of what can be accomplished technologically. If in doubt, visit Hampi, Ellora Cave complex, the Taj...

Waiting for uploads 😊
The real "Iron Man"!
I don't understand why they bought metal in china if LAKSHMI NIWAS MITTAL is an Indian steel magnate the world's largest steelmaking company (KNOWN FOR KING OF STEEL IN INDIA).
Why Mittal? Jindals and Tatas could have supplied too. It's more to do with forging capabilities; India did not have that skill at that time. Importing from Europe wouldn't be economical.
Humans can do amazing things. Just imagine if we’d quit killing each other
worth a visit
The Dam was an act of madness, and the Statue is a symbol of human pride.
I couldn't agree more. The concrete industry is run by a global mafia. That's the only reason it exists.
I think appreciation and a showcase of Indias current giant strides

For being the world's largest statue, the statue itself doesn't seem too thrilled. It's like "well...this is alright, I guess."
They couldnt even make him look happy or at least proud
