First line, and only non-list part of this page states that it is an 'incomplete essay'. Also violates WP:NOTLIST as nothing more then a list with no context showing why its encyclopedic.

 * Keep a useful list of mainly blue links for history researchers. The topic is very likely to pass WP:LISTN in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 19:43, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a legitimate and potentially useful list. I would prefer it to be Christian campaigners for Indian independence or something like that, because most of them did not fight.  The opening words "incomplete essay" were presumably intended as a tag. However, this is a list.  Almost all the articles have links to bio articles, which is where the references should be.  It would be better this a slightly longer intro - another couple of sentences, linking it better to the independence movement. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Almost passing WP:LISTN and most of the people mentioned have links to wiki bio pages Proton Dental (talk) 14:27, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: I see no reason why intersection of person's religion and their activities in freedom struggle of India are relevant. The freedom struggle of India was not based on any religious. One may argue that formation of Pakistan was based on religious grounds and hence a religion+Pakistan formation subgroup may be notable. But that's not applicable with India. Until someone proves why this intersection is notable, this is just LISTCRUFT, no matter howmuchsoever blue linked entries it has. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:34, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I click on T. V. Thomas and find he was an atheist and also fought for communist rule, not freedom. Also some of these were just elected officials, they didn't doing any actual fighting, just writing letters and speaking out against things.  Should be list of activists.  Their religion didn't seem to have anything to do with any activities these people did.  This list was mostly done by just one editor.   D r e a m Focus  19:29, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree with Dharmadyaksha here. The premise of this list is flawed; there's no evidence this is treated as a notable topic; merely being filled with notable people doesn't satisfy LISTN, and to boot the actual organization appears critically flawed as "freedom fighters" doesn't properly describe many.
