Notably, in 1950, just two years after Gandhi’s death and 30 years before the release of the film Gandhi, the Gandhi World Peace Memorial was erected at Lake Shrine in California. Since the 15th anniversary of Indian independence, a statue of Gandhi has stood prominently in the Plaza de Sicily in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 1968, a bronze statue of Gandhi was unveiled in Tavistock Square in London by then British Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
