A selection of readers’ opinions. Statue politics I have full respect for Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, but I feel his real philosophy or thinking has not been taken into consideration ( “Eye in the sky: Is India at risk of becoming a nation of big statues and small minds?” ). I do not think such a selfless person would have approved such waste of money on his statue.

Even if they are financed with loans from foreign countries, the recovery would be through the taxpayers. Building free world-class schools, colleges and hospitals in the name of these personalities would have been a better way to pay homage than such statues.  – Prabhu Desai *** I disagree with Girish Shahane’s views. If he thinks the platform is ugly, he is free to clean it up. And not...
