My search for "freedom fighters" turned up Indians exclusively. I wasn't signed in. Strange. Are they not called "freedom fighters" in other cultures? It is a semantically dubious phrase.
The Indian freedom fighters are unusual, in that most freedom fighters offer violent, armed revolt. Even Wikipedia singles them out in the second paragraph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fighter
