Our country is teeming with thousands of statues, but barring a few national heroes very few inspire us. Most of these statues are of politicians. I believe we should have a statue that will fire the imagination of the nation to greater heights -- to reach the unreachable. I believe a gold-plated life-size metallic statue of Neeraj Chopra, poised to release his javelin, will serve to inspire and fire the nation to stratospheric heights, not only in the field of sports but in the all-round development of the nation. The javelin poised for a launch resembles the pose made famous by legendary Usain Bolt and is sure to capture the imagination of the nation. Replicas of the statue in the form of statuettes in varying sizes may be handed out at prize distribution ceremonies, not only in sports but all events, even in academics as it represents our zeal to reach greater heights.
