20,000

What sources specifically state that there were 20,000 security forces solely to capture/kill Brahma? Almost all of the citations appended near the last paragraph are unreliable as already explained by Abecedare [1]. Sources like the IDSA News Review on South Asia/Indian Ocean, Volume 20 are nowhere to be found on the internet or any library repository, which likely means snippets or small excerpts were used to bolster these claims, without consideration for context and thorough examination. Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 22:49, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ajit does mention 20,000.CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 08:20, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did the newspaper mention it in a matter of fact way? Or were they quoting someone? In any case, I see that Abecedare and you are talking about this source, so I will wait for that to conclude. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 05:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
