I too support creation, and agree wholeheartedly with Satdeep's point about the usability of even inactive Wikisources.

(And a P.S. to Steven's intro about stats – there are no more pages in the "Hindi" category, I moved them all to the correct category a few weeks ago.)

I am obviously in favour of creating a new Wikisource for Hindi. I do however understand MF-Warburg's concern about different language version but this is not the forum for that. 

Also, I don't think we shouldn't be thinking of Wikisource as a Wikipedia. While on Wikipedia, there is a need to remain updated on facts, Wikisource is completely different. We can have a good Wikisource without even having a large amount of regular editors because it's different. As a friend would say, Wikisource is a renewable resource. It would still be useful for people. This is also a discussion for another time. 

For now, I strongly support creation of Hindi Wikisource. 

Best
Satdeep
