    • Shalini Nair Tags : mumbai, Shivaji statue Posted: Friday , Jun 12, 2009 at 0244 hrs

    Architect Shekhar Patki of R G Patki Architects Pvt. Ltd said the firm that is finally awarded the contract will work on the specifics such as these and build around his legacy in accordance with experts appointed by the state. “The idea is to erect the statue as an icon with which people can relate the city to. There will be large open spaces, around which facilities like open decks, art galleries and museums will be built. Much like Taj Mahal, the foreground will be an expression of the ceremonial arrival to the statue so that people can stand at a distance and appreciate the statue,” Patki said.

    o i cBy: ritz | 07-Sep-2009 Reply | Forward It is suprising that people are so ignorant of the things around them .. especially politics and reality. FI one feels or rather says that the money can be better used for someother purpose why dont we object on building of malls,grand houses of the likes of Ambanis and so many other things in country that happen unnecessarily. Why a project like this which is going to make Mumbai feel proud of a monument like no where else be targeted. We are proud to see Kanyakumari having a statue of its own then why not mumbai . Afterall there has to be some freedom given to locals... U build a bridge and name it after Rajiv Gandhi... why???? is there a shortage of leaders in Maharashtra.....?

    statue of our great leadersBy: richard | 12-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Soon we will have one more statue to worship. However this statue will be incomplete unless we sculpture those who turned this city from Bombay to Mumbai. Prominent among them are the members of Thackeray family. It is this family's unending devotion to change the face of this city that made the people to understand power politics. So much so decisions to administer the state are made on the strength of the stones the members of their political parties can throw. Marathi has been introduced at all levels of education and administration on account of their efforts. Today, most of the state employees have their pictures in their homes and they even worship them. As such it is a fitting tribute if the state government install the statues of the Thackeray family along with the statue of great Shivaji Maharaj.
    PrioritiesBy: sv | 12-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Rs 200-crore deserve to be first invested in infrastructure, public amenities, housing the poor and then erecting monuments...I am sure even Shivaji maharaj would had been of the same opinion!
