Basavaraj,
You must differentiate between the following:
The social relevance of Sanskrit in India (as you put it)
Impact of Wikipedia in Sanskrit to society.
The first topic, I maintain is beyond the scope of this list. It is to wide a topic.
As far as the second one goes, Wikipedia in Sanskrit is too small to discuss this now.
If you question was with regards to the process followed to start a wikipedia in a
language (like Sankrit or any other), you are referred to the following:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Language_proposal_policy
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee
As you can see from the links above, there *are* active discussions before a wikipedia
project is created.
do you guys discuss social relavance of what you are doing at all? if yes, where? if no,
that is a grave ommission.
I urge you to consider spending some time understanding how wikipedia works and the
processes behind it before coming to conclusions on some
aspects.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents
Wikipedia has evolved over 10 years. It did not become a phenomenon just like that. There
surely is a "method" to most things, even if it doesn't seem very apparent
to some. And these methods keep improving. You too can contribute to bettering these
while participating in the processes and experiencing them.
A lot of links and references have been shared on this thread. Hope it helps you form your
views on the processes behind wikipedia. And as they say, "Rome was not built in one
day"! In this case it took 10 years (and it is still a WIP).
Thanks
Arun

Basavaraj,
The social relevance of Sanskrit in India, is not a topic that is in the scope if this
list.
It is a much larger topic.
As far as your observations on factual inaccuracies of some articles, that is certainly
something you can take up on the talk page of the respective wiki page. There may be more
knowledgeable contributors on the subject who can comment on it.
Could you also please refer the following links or pages that may assist you further:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fact_and_Reference_Check

Thank you
Arun

wiki has to recognise and be sensitive to these

It is, in it's content drawing on it's policies of being
an
encyclopedia and being neutral. These are very powerful
pillars that
promote neutrality of points of view.
Thank you.
Best,
