<div>I have tried this also. It has the similar issue of the fonts. The chillus of malayalam is another issue while displaying. </div>
<div>I could read it, but as far as the usability, it is of no use. </div>

<div>Could you try <a href="http://ml.m.wikipedia.org/" target="_blank">http://ml.m.wikipedia.org/</a> from your phone? (Of course, it'll still need the fonts.)</div>
<div>To my knowledge, Malayalam Wikipedia is the only Indian Wikipedia to have a mobile interface (I could be wrong).</div>
<div>For Tamil Wikipedia, only the final steps are pending.</div>

<div>Have you used MTS free Wikipedia? I overheard they are falsely advertising but actually it costs something. (like only en.wiki is free and data charges apply for images on the article from commons). I am not very sure on this, anyone who uses MTS can confirm. But i have to disagree with Arjuna and feel data charges have come down significantly over a period of time now though may still not be affordable to a common man on the street when compared to the dead low voice tariff. More and more alternate ways of consuming Wikipedia on mobile needs to be developed. I particularly find the Wikipedia layer on Google maps for mobile useful while exploring unknown territories.</div>
