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:
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.
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:

Thank you
Arun
