People concerned with the lack of content in Indic languages might enjoy, "Digital Divisions of Labor and Informational Magnetism: Mapping Participation in Wikipedia", recent research co-authored by Mark Graham of the Oxford Internet Institute. The problem is not specific to India.
Quoting from the paper's abstract,
Complicating this issue [of imbalanced participation] is the fact that
participation
from the world's economic peripheries tends to focus on editing about the
world's
cores rather than their own local regions. These results ultimately point
to an
informational magnetism that is cast by the world's economic cores,
virtuous and
vicious cycles that make it difficult to reconfigure networks and
hierarchies of
knowledge production.
