Amir, I didn't understand what you mean by Pakistan being ahead?
Has Pakistan also taken up any govt-backed initiative for Urdu development?

Arun, this could be like what the K'taka govt tried with Kanaja.[1]
Curiously, when it was released, the press said Kannada Wikipedia launched.[2]

Hmm, it's a curious article, but I'm as puzzled as you are.

Are they uploading an existing encyclopedia to Wikipedia?
Are they creating a new site?
Why is Pakistan ahead of India if it's the same language?

It's possible, of course, that the journalist who wrote the article
didn't quite understand it himself. It happens very often...
