| Aug 16, 2022 at 14:06 | comment | added | LangLаngС | @IMSoP Even more: Does this writer in tag line exist? (Spelling variations? Search for him…) Did he say that/write that (or did anyone)? (Where/how are the names that are inscribed identified as so&so? [What are "backward Hindus","from RSS" ?] // While quite complex, & a whole list, all these points are so closely connected they should be addressable in one post, albeit a bit longer than what we got so far. Ideally showing from high quality sources which particulars are true, could be true, are probably distorted, exagerrated, or guaranteed made-up/lies. | |
| Aug 16, 2022 at 13:11 | comment | added | IMSoP | The more I think about it, the more different claims I see that can be pulled from this one image. 1) 95,300 names are inscribed on the India Gate; 2) these are the names of Freedom Fighters; 3) 61,935 of these are identifiable as Muslim, and so on for the other numbers; 4) these numbers show something about the proportion of Muslims involved, or killed (as opposed to, for instance, matching the proportions in the region as a whole at the time). To me, (3) and (4) seemed the most significant, but Oddthinking (and the sources they found) focuses on (2). | |
| Aug 16, 2022 at 12:04 | comment | added | days of love iff good genes | @Oddthinking: perhaps. But maybe (some) Muslims are unhappy with the official/legal definitions? The Deccan Herald seems to list different peopple/heroes than gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/… | |
| Aug 16, 2022 at 11:57 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | @Fizz: I just addressed this in my answer. I think this term is perfectly clear to the Indian audience. | |
| Aug 16, 2022 at 11:46 | comment | added | days of love iff good genes | @Oddthinking: The problem with this Q is that the poster itself doesn't define "freedom fighters". The (1857–1947) range was added by the OP. | |

the claim seems rather obviously not 'taking part' but 'paid price in blood'…

| Aug 15, 2022 at 15:51 | comment | added | Joe W | @Oddthinking I don't see why others have to do a minimum amount of research instead of the person asking the question. | |
| Aug 15, 2022 at 15:21 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | @JoeW: "If you suspect that a claim is not notable, you should perform a minimum amount of research before acting. Performing a quick google search using search terms taken from the question is a good idea. If you don't find any evidence of notability that way, you should comment on the question and vote to close or flag as inappropriate. [...]" -Source | |

| Aug 15, 2022 at 13:59 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | @JoeW: ?? A quick search reveals it is a popular meme, with multiple variants. The war memorial may not be making such a claim, but the meme is making several. | |

| Aug 15, 2022 at 13:45 | comment | added | Joe W | There does not appear to be a notable claim and a list of names on a war memorial does not appear making any sort of claim about the makeup of the freedom fighters. | |
