The tallest statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar outside India was unveiled in Maryland, US. The 19-foot tall "Statue of Equality" was formally inaugurated amid chants of "Jai Bhim." Over 500 Indian-Americans attended, some travelling 10 hours. Sculpted by Ram Sutar, the statue is at the Ambedkar International Center, which will also have a library and Buddha Garden. Earlier seen as a Dalit leader, Ambedkar is now recognized for empowering marginalized sections andcontribution as architect of India's constitution. His ideology of nation's prosperity through empowering all citizens is inspiring developed and underdeveloped nations alike.
