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.

Conference India <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Conference_India>"?
If this is indeed true, this was the most unfortunate morcha I've
(barely) seen.
