Since its Netajis 100th anniversary and Republic Day week, we decided to check how much some of our freedom fighters are talked about on the Net. A search using Infoseek turned up 1,462 sites where Netaji has been mentioned, 1,341 for Jawaharlal Nehru, 2,221 for Sardar Patel, and 12,613 for Mahatma Gandhi. We were surprised when Bhagat Singh turned up on a whopping 31,495 sites, till we realised that thousands of companies with offices on Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg in Mumbai was the reason. More recent figures: Rajiv Gandhi: 1,407, Sonia Gandhi: 231, and Priyanka: seven.
