The event marks an important moment for the Indian-American community and highlights Gandhi’s message of peace, unity and non-violence.
The unveiling ceremony brought attention to the values that Mahatma Gandhi shared throughout his life. Known around the world for his peaceful approach to freedom and justice, Gandhi believed that major changes could be achieved through truth, patience and non-violent action. His teachings continue to influence people across different countries and generations.
The installation of the statue is also seen as a way to strengthen cultural connections between India and the United States.
