On October 14, Maryland will witness the inauguration of the “largest” statue of B R Ambedkar outside India, titled the “Statue of Equality.” Standing at an impressive 19 feet, the statue, crafted by the renowned artist Ram Sutar, echoes his mastery seen in the iconic Sardar Patel statue in Ahmedabad. Part of the Ambedkar International Center (AIC) in Accokeek, Maryland, the statue honors the key architect of India’s Constitution. Anticipating attendees from the Ambedkarite movement worldwide, the AIC expresses its vision for the memorial to propagate Ambedkar’s teachings, symbolizing equality and human rights. Representatives from diverse countries are set to converge for the momentous unveiling ceremony.
