Giant statue of Lord Hanuman In Canada Causes Racist Uproar

Construction of a giant 55-foot tall statue of Lord Hanuman at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, on January 21, 2024. The statue is the tallest Hindu statue in North America and its construction has caused outrage among white conservatives in Canada. The temple has enhanced security after complaints and bigoted attacks on social media. The statue is set to be formally unveiled in April to mark Hanuman Jayanti.
