Seeing the recent state of affairs wrt Internet and information, I think
the Government of India WOULD want to create a 'new' Urdu project where
they CAN have control over what goes on and what doesn't.

"In Wikipedia, information contributed is vetted for authenticity by

the public is a rich database free of prejudice and misinformation"
Say what?
Why don't they just fork the existing Urdu Wikipedia and fix it? Makes
no sense to throw it *all* out. Then again, the Government oh so does
love reinventing the wheel.
Thank you.
Best,
Gautam
