I don't think http://wikipedia.in/ is registered by any one. Kindly verify.
But, do we actullay require this site? What is its purpose? Is it just for listing link to Indic languages wikis.
*NOTE:* Some Indic languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Urdu are the official languages in more than one country.

I believe that the name wikipedia is owned by foundation. If that is the case, Foundation can officially request the InRegistrar to revoke the

From what Mike told me, it depends on how India works with foreign trademarks, domain names, etc. It's hard for the Foundation to get involved until there's some kind of organization or chapter setup in India. It gets a lot more complex if the Foundation has to come in, which is why it's best to work informally with the registrar/owners first.
Maybe you guys could try asking InRegistrar about this and see how far that goes? Maybe they already have a process setup for this.
