It worked after a techie friend advised me: Change your DNS in your router. Use 1.1.1.1
Some 3-4 others on Twitter were also saying they could not access Wikipedia at the same time.
Now sorted out. FN

Shortly after I wrote that, it won't go through even with 1.1.1.1 Some complaints coming up on Twitter. https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/hokfww/wikipedia_not_working/ The error that's coming through is This site can’t be reached
*en.wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org* took too long to respond.

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT This is odd, as it's very unusual for WIkipedia to go down for such a long time. Or for only one site not to work and the others go through smoothly. FN
