I agree with Steven here. A sysop from multilingual Wikisource reached out
to me recently to ask if we are going to have a separate Hindi Wikisource
soon, since it was feared that the multilingual Wikisource might become the
de facto Hindi Wikisource.
Besides, Hindi already has projects like wikivoyage and wikiversity.

Leaving aside the question of whether we should change
policies about
separate-language Wikisource projects for the time being, I'll note that
our longstanding policy has been that three consecutive months of
qualifying activity is sufficient to meet the "active test community"
requirement. I routinely tell that to test communities. If we want to
change that in the future, we can do so. But in this case, the test
community has already done everything we have asked of it.
Besides, while it is important to ensure that each wiki we approve
continues to have a contributing community, I worry less about Wikisource
(and Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote) than I do about
Wikipedia–Wikinews–Wikitravel. Information gets stale (or is quite subject
to political manipulation) in the latter group, less so in the former group.
So I think we need to proceed with this approval.
