I found TinuCherianBot had mistakenly made Brian Horrocks, a British Army general unconnected with India except for his birth, as part of WikiProject India, a false positive. Sorry guys, he has nothing to do with us. We are now down another FA.

I think the list should be used more as a helpful pointer and as much discussion as possible should be done on Wikipedia itself. I think there are more lists than Wikipedians can handle and more time is spent on the lists than on editing Wikipedia, which is what we're primarily here for.

Thanks Srikanth, but I'm surprised you come across it at all. Brian Horrocks was a British general, from the British Army (not from British Indian Arny), did not serve in India, not involved in any campaign where Indian troops served (except North Africa). Generally famous in the Indian context for his exploits with the White Russians (Kolchak's Gold) and for Operation Market Garden (Aacted by Edward Fox in "A bridge too far") but nothing to do with India except for the accidental fact of his birth.

Thanks Srikanth, but I'm surprised you come across it at all. Brian Horrocks was a British general, from the British Army (not from British Indian Arny), did not serve in India, not involved in any campaign where Indian troops served (except North Africa). Generally famous in the Indian context for his exploits with the White Russians (Kolchak's Gold) and for Operation Market Garden (Aacted by Edward Fox in "A bridge too far") but nothing to do with India except for the accidental fact of his birth.
While acknowledging all the points made wrt Gen Horrocks' life, I can't help but feel that it parallels another couple of Britishers of more recent times who are treated (in some circles in India at least) as locals: Cliff Richards (born Harry Webb in Lucknow) and the late Freddy Mercury (born Fardoon Bulsara, early years in Bombay), both well-known entertainers. It may be OT to the discussion on Horrocks, but it does raise some thought about what we do and perhaps should take as subjects of Indian interest. Having said which, I have not participated at all in the India project, so please feel free to ignore my suggestion.

In the case of Freddie Mercury who belonged to an Indian ethnic community - the Parsis, had family ties in Mumbai, lived there for a few years, a case could perhaps be made. But not Horrocks. I cannot say about Cliff Richards.
