I once noted on here that I was disappointed not to see a Statue of Gandhi up in parliament square. There are so many other statues of fine people up there, it seemed a bit wrong to me that there was not a statue of that great man among them. Today, it seems, that has been put right: as detailed here a 2.7 metre statue of the father of indian democracy, nonviolent protest and, in my opinion, one of the greatest people ever to live was unveiled there this morning. I think that is great news, and long overdue; it was about time he was paid such a tribute. I’ll be going up there to pay my respects to it as soon as possible.
