Hello M.Srilasya,
The XML data dumps of all the Wikipedias are free to download and use as per the licensing discussed here https://dumps.wikimedia.org/legal.html.
So you can just download anything you'd like from the website here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html.
If you let me know a specific language you're interested in, I can point you to the exact download link. But since you asked for a smaller download, let me offer simplewiki, which is a smaller English wiki that uses "Simplified English'', yet it is big enough to be interesting to do proof of concepts with:
All pages with complete page edit history (.bz2)
- simplewiki-20240201-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 https://dumps.wikimedia.org/simplewiki/20240201/simplewiki-20240201-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 2.9 GB -
All pages, current versions only.
- simplewiki-20240201-pages-meta-current.xml.bz2 https://dumps.wikimedia.org/simplewiki/20240201/simplewiki-20240201-pages-meta-current.xml.bz2 356.7 MB

Dear xmldatadumps owner, I'm a student working on a search engine project for which i need the xml data dumps. i do not have excess storage capabilities. so, I just need a small xml data dump. so that I can use it for my project. I will make sure that I will not misuse the data provided by you. please consider my request.
Yours obediently, M.Srilasya
