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.
