India: History Template‑class | ||||||||||
|
This template is BIASED. The British are "figures" and the Indians are "freedom fighters". It also seems that a number of Muslims who were part of the independence movement, and later plumped for Pakistan, are missing. Viewing this purely from an Indian nationalist POV, when it involved three other new nations, is extremely biased. I suggest that this template is NOT NEEDED and that categories can do the job.

The images in the top line (with the eight images) wrap on 800×600 and 600×480 screens. Four images need to be removed to ensure the images stay on one line for the smaller screen resolutions. Greentubing 06:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I've said it before elsewhere and at the risk of sounding repetitive, I'll say it again. There are too many freedom fighters in the template and despite that, notable omissions such as Bipin Chandra Pal, Tanguturi Prakasam and Bhogaraju Pattabhi Sitaramayya. It is always better to let the categories do their job and have a small list in the template. I am disappointed with this mushrooming of names again. --Gurubrahma 14:06, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Everyone who edits an article containing this template is exposed to the blatantly biased phrase "IndiaFreedom". Olborne 12:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
There is ZERO bias. Indian independence movement is a conventional, universal name for this series of political events. And as independence and freedom mean the same, there is NO need to make foolish changes. Rama's arrow - this Fire burns always 15:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
The wrapping is still a problem. Have to remove a couple of items, otherwise the "incidents" and "leaders" sections are wrapping onto a new line in several articles. Hornplease 06:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
It has entered my mind that a separate section for publications could be an added bonus to this template. What do others think?Harrypotter 13:47, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I can fully understand why some editors may want to include Jinnah, but I strongly disagree:
Since there were two pictures of 1930 related to the Gandhian non-violent movement hence I have replace one with the group photo of Kakori Case Accused Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan and others.Dr.'Krant'M.L.Verma (talk•Email)Krantmlverma (talk) 17:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Previously I had uploaded the above file in this tempelated which is not visible now. Kindly check it from wikimedia commons and fix its upload again. This is a historical image which must be restored..Dr.'Krant'M.L.Verma (talk•Email)Krantmlverma (talk) 14:52, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Since there was an image of Dutch East India Company in this template which was irrelevent to the subject of Indian independence movement hence I have replaced it by another image of Mangal Pandey- a hero of 1857.Dr.'Krant'M.L.Verma (talk•Email)Krantmlverma (talk) 16:31, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

As a doctoral research fellow of modern Indian history and a conscious citizen; I draw the attention towards a grave omission from independence activists template.The names of eminent freedom fighters Anugrah Narayan Sinha (Gandhi Ji's close associate in 1917 Champaran Satyagraha),Rajendra Prasad ( Gandhi Ji's close associate in 1917 Champaran Satyagraha) & Sachchidananda Sinha, ( first President of Constituent Assembly of India) {All these three eminent freedom fighters, icons & nationalists were also members of Indian constituent Assembly after Independence.Hope they will be rightfully included 47.29.54.211 (talk) 07:57, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Add Anarchism and Communism to the section on Philosophies and ideologies. Grnrchst (talk) 00:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
((edit template-protected))
template. This template looks particularly specific to Indian topics, of which neither anarchism nor communism are such. Izno (talk) 01:42, 6 May 2020 (UTC)This list could be split into two based on 1. Pre and post WWI or 2. Pre and post involvement of MK Gandhi in the Indian Independence Movement. Tharun S Yadla (talk) 07:07, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Although a significant number of notable activists could not be included in this list as this is quite overcrowded already, we may consider subcategorizing based on activists who are politicians, jurists, industrialists, philosophers etc., Tharun S Yadla (talk) 07:11, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Include Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in Organisations and Veer Savarkar in freedom fighters. That would be homage to his contributions. Please, Jai Hind 103.238.106.254 (talk) 15:54, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Add Velu Nachiyar as part of this link. She was the first woman from India to fight for the freedom. 72.68.68.54 (talk) 01:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Listing Siraj-ud-daulah, Shuja-ud-daulah and Bahadur Shah II as "Independence activists" is odd. They were sovereign rulers from a different generation and were not directly connected to the later independence movement (in the case of Bahadur Shah, merely a figurehead and not an activist). Perhaps include them (alongside Tipu Sultan, Shah Alam II, the Rani of Jhansi, Kittur Chennamma, etc.) as "involved Indian royalty"? W. Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/c) 11:44, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
