India builds world’s tallest statue for $420 million 😐
For calibration:
India’s budget Mars mission cost $73 million
India’s education budget is about $11 billion (or ~25x this statue) if I did my conversion math correctly.

Oh that statue was damn ugly. How do you spend that kind of money and not at least landscape the surroundings?
