For pity's sake, who slapped a <nowiki>{{npov}}</nowiki> on this thing? It's obviously in its infancy; it can be edited however you please. Why do people cry NPOV instead of just fixing whatever bothers them? At least put a justificative objection in the talk section. <br>

Personally, however, I do find it problematic that the creator of this article clearly wants to roll together people fighting for diverse causes over many centuries. Can we perhaps limit this article to a list of people taking part in the [[Indian independence movement|freedom struggle]] stricto sensu?

== Chronology ==

:I made a few changes, so hopefully it feels more neutral now. My sense is that this list could cover anybody who fought against foreign domination and the imposition of foreign cultures. (Which could include fighters prior to the Colonial period.) [[User:RJHall|RJH]] 16:58, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

**It's the title that is POV. Were they fighting for "freedom" or just for political power of their own group? The title takes a clear stance in every case, and that is POV. [[User:Chicheley|Chicheley]] 17:59, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

*[[Rajendra Prasad]] and [[Jaya Prakash Narayan]] belonged to [[Bihar]], and they should be mentioned under the section ''Leaders from Bengal and Northeastern India'', and not under ''Leaders from North and Central India''. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 12:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

This article's list should rearrange in alphabetical order. People are getting confused and adding duplicate names. [[User:Dhina35554865|Dhina35554865]] ([[User talk:Dhina35554865|talk]]) 04:55, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello all,

Under 18th century activists the name Maruthanayagam has been removed.He was a controversial figure and worked for the British as a warrior.The British used this character to mow down all anti colonial activists in Tamil Nadu.Two most famous of them were [[Veeran Azhagu Mutthu Kon]] and [[Puli Thevan]]([[Polygar]] of Nelkattumseval},former was blown from the mouth of a cannon and the later was captured and handed to the British who hanged him.Later Maruthanayagam himself was killed ,but this time he was captured by the British and hanged by the [[Carnatic Nawab]] in 1756.Tamil Nadu government recogonises only [[Veeran Azhagu Mutthu Kon]] and [[Puli Thevan]],as freedom fighters ,while Maruthanayagam is recogonised by none except movie actor Kamalhassan who along with the BBC planned a mega buck movie ,but later dropped for various reasons.
