 * New enough and long enough. Three phrases in the lead were closely paraphrased, and I changed them, so there's no close paraphrasing problems now. The information on indiagate.org was difficult to understand--perhaps something was lost in translation? The article appears neutral and its sources are sufficient. The photo doesn't have any license issues.
 * Symbol question.svg The fact in the hook is incorrect. One of the sources you cited, 5 Things Every Indian Needs to Know about the Amar Jawan Jyoti, states that the fire in only one of the urns burns year-round. The other urns are lit on special occasions. Here are two other hooks I propose (the second is just because I thought it was an interesting fact). What do you think of these?

I can't approve these hooks, because I proposed them. They need a new reviewer or approval by the original author (I think). Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:40, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

 * ALT 2: ...that the person responsible for ensuring a flame is continuously lit at Amar Jawan Jyoti lives in a room inside the nearby India Gate?
