After Dozens of US Historical Statues Removed by Left, Indians in TX Have Built Gargantuan 90 Ft. Statue to Pagan ‘God’
Confederate memorials came down by the hundreds after 2015. Statues of Christopher Columbus were beheaded, dumped in harbors, or trucked into storage. Statues of other great American heroes like George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, and Teddy Roosevelt took hits in the same campaign.
Speak out against it and you were the villain. The official line from detractors was that monuments to our heroes are optional and the United States of America is only an “idea” that needed updating.
And now, we’re seeing what that “updating” looks like.
In August 2024, Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple in Fort Bend County, Texas, dedicated a 90-foot, 90-ton statue of the Hindu deity Hanuman.
Houston Public Media reported it as the third-largest statue in the United States.
The figure is a man with a monkey’s face, palms out. Parts were manufactured in China, shipped here, and assembled on site. Organizers call it the Statue of Union.
Temple leaders said 90 feet is an “auspicious number.”
While the clip is two years old, it’s spreading again now. If you have not seen it, plenty of readers haven’t either.
Old Stock Appalachian posted the video and tied the new idol to the old demolitions. Lee first, then the founding fathers, then the claim that America is merely an abstraction while pagan monuments rise.
That contrast is the story.
They tore down Robert E. Lee and told you speaking up made you a Nazi.
Then came Washington. Grant. Teddy Roosevelt. What, you support enslavers and racists?
Now they erect pagan gods while telling you America is merely an “idea.”

About 95 percent of Hindus are Indian. This was not a Swedish civic project. Fine. Name it.
