Though in fact we have definitive news sources indicating that only 21 people showed up. (As well as photographic and video evidence from news media who were there).
And you're right, it really should be merged with the WikiConference article - I'm not sure if the suggestion has been made on the deletion discussion yet.

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-fi...
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.
