Heading of article:
LONDON (AP) — The legacy of Mohandas K. Gandhi is being celebrated with a prominent new statue of the Indian independence leader in Parliament Square in central London.

Placing a Gandhi statue on UK soil! This is not in some museum; this is done outside; seems to defy reason; commemorative statues/monuments are customarily done to recall the memory of a notable person of a past member of their society not a past member of a foreign society.
Why would a past Indian citizen be commemorated on the UK? Anyone?
How does the G of E get a way with this (not a typo)? Anyone?
I have some pretty good ideas but it would be good to hear yours.
