And there is an en wikipedia article also on this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BJP_youth_wing_protest_against_Wikipedia%27s_m…

The number (and the total inconsistency with how many people actually protested) comes from here: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/protest-against-wrong-map-mars-countrys-f… in which it simultaneously describes "hundreds of protesters" *and* that "all 21 who protested were arrested". Go figure. The article that's been created out of the controversy is a storm in a teacup (and as such is hardly notable) but the storm was so small it was barely noticeable - and would have stayed that way except for the misreporting of it.

Pradeep told me that there were hardly two dozen. But, I believe that article shall die soon. Also, the map in question, was made by Nicholas right? So why are they after Arjuna and the Chapter?
