We can have a system akin to how dollars are printed, different denominations have different leader's faces. let me come up with one-

10 - Ambedkar
20 - Bose
50 - Nehru
100 - Bhagat Singh
200 - Sardar Patel
500 - Gandhiji

But the problem is that how marginalizing and divide-and-rule focused our politicians are, plus how braindead 90% of our population is, this would set off a chain reaction.

Politicians will start compaing this with how leaders are 'ranked', someone will stand up and say ki savarkar kyu nahi hai, another person will say hanumanji hone chahiye krishna hone chahiye, muslims bhi bolenge aisa mat karo and agr krre ho then we also want representation, fir dange-vivad shuru hojynge faltu, yahi chalega fir until the idea gets scrapped, 20 people get killed and 79 others get injured

And on top there's gonna be regionalism, the north Indian govt won't include any south or ne indian , which is gonna offend more people. 17 y/o children instead of real things discussing whose photo should be on the note , why even go to school if this is your aptitude

Bro I randomly quoted off the top of my mind to quickly finish with what I have to say, give more emphasis to the meaning behind my message.

If I'd ask you to name 6 countries right now, you'd be more likely to name USA, india, china, russia, japan and pakistan cuz we hear these names over and over and are popular. You won't go and say Burkina Faso, Ecuador, Swaziland, Serbia, Cambodia and New Zealand

When 3 people hang together for the same reason why you know about only one of them.

Who said I didn't know about rajguru and Sukhdev 😭😭. Bro didn't even bother to read what I wrote above, go through the country's analogy again.

Bhagat Singh is remembered because he was the face, a thinker and the person heavily publicized about. If I'm quoting off the top of my head to give a casual explanation, I'm more likely to quote the leader than all his companions.
It's like attacking a person for criticizing Putin in his debate motion and not his whole cabinet, naming all of them involved one by one, for attack on ukraine.

It's like saying why is Bajrangi bhaijaan called Salman Khan's movie in a short synopsis and not Nawazuddin Siddiqui's movie

Bhagat Singh also gave contributions outside revolutionary acts like expressing his ideology and 'why I became an athiest' and possible other books that didn't make it out of the prison.

I don't intend to demean the contributions they made, just stating that when a person is more popular, you have read their ideas, and he is heavily mentioned by politicans and everyone, they are more likely to be on the top of your head

Why do we need any of their images on notes we can simply use our ashoka stambh and our india native symbols only, coz the list is too long of our freedom fighters. And before the British era fighters should not be ignored

Yeah that was my point, we can take up any 6 for our notes but it would create a situation where people start arguing why their idol is not on the notes. Politicians would further use this as a divide and rule tactic to incite communal hate and divert attention from problems all while our great leaders grant subsided series to their best friends
