Seal or emblem

[edit]

It is very doubtfully, that this emblem could be the seal of the Provisional Government of Free India. I have found this emblem in the article AXIS AND ALLIED PROPAGANDA TO INDIAN TROOPS. And the description tells us, that this emblem was depicted on the German leaflet, which was dropped on Indian troops fighting in North Africa in 1942. But the the Provisional Government of Free India was established in 1943.

_____________________________________________________________

So, I have replaced this emblem with those one, which is on the first page of the Azad Hind Gazette (Vol. 1, No. 2), published in 1944. It is an official gazette of the Provisional Government of Free India and of the Azad Hind Fauj. Reproduction of this gazette is placed in the book “The Springing Tiger: A Study of the Indian National Army and of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose” (author: Hugh Toye; year: 2009; publisher: Allied Publishers; ISBN 9788184243925) (pages No. 185—187). — صلاح الأوكراني (talk) 00:01, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cookersweet: please, provide sources, that the Provisional Government of Free India used this emblem as a seal. — صلاح الأوكراني (talk) 08:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@صلاح الأوكراني: Just being on the Gazette does not prove it is the emblem. Also the image you are using can be extracted from the flag of German Indian Legion.

Cookersweet (talk) 08:08, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cookersweet: Yes, you are right. "My" emblem was used in the official gazette, but the official description (law, for example) of emblem is absent (or have not been found). And other emblem was used in a leaflet, published in 1942 (before the creation of the government). So, there are two ways: completely remove the information about the seal from the article or show different variants of the seal in the template. — صلاح الأوكراني (talk) 08:18, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we should wait for some time until consensus is reached about this Cookersweet (talk) 08:26, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some information about the emblem:

Why the term some Indian was Included than Indian in case of support of INA. The movement were not opposed ultimately by anyone in India.

[edit]

The term some Indian is not applied in context of support of INA. None ultimately opposed it and and also public reaction started before the political parties reaction. The role of Naval Revolt in support of freedom of INA officers, corresponding revolts in all disciplines of Armed forces also contributed a lot. The then PM of UK, Atley's Comment in AIR after independence also recognized INA as the solemn cause of British fleeing from India within 2 years of victory in WW2.

@Subhoghosa17: No. That's a misinformation created by a government official of West Bengal. Clement Attlee never said that. Editorkamran (talk) 17:57, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Map not centrally showing to India

Why is it skewed to the east? The Andaman and Nicobar islands dont even go that far Danial Bass (talk) 20:32, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indic Script

[edit]

@Lamba Chaura so you mention Wikipedia:INDICSCRIPT but that same page says "Additionally, there are too often problems with verifiability of the accuracy of the non-English spelling.", the seal that the image is based on clearly shows the text so there is no "problem with verifiability of the accuracy of the non-English spelling" as we can clearly see it.

@Vif12vfsee above as well, I can take removing the text at the top of the infobox but the seal is in it's proper place and also is a direct transcription of the image itself. NorthTension (talk) 15:55, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indic script is not allowed in India-related articles, that is the current standard. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 15:57, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@North Tension: Please stop adding Indic script to article. Lamba Chaura (talk) 17:21, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
