Gautam, any idea what happened to that blanket public domain extension plan of Govt of India which was posted some months back?
Warm regards,

As far as I know, "the content that is that is out of copyright in India

"can be uploaded to the existing wikisources.
Citing Sreejith above.
"Currently Wikipedia projects are hosted in US and all media files uploaded to these projects should be copyright free in the source country of origin and also in US."
Also:
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Copyright_policy
"The copyright laws applicable to Wikisource are primarily those of the United States of America, where the physical Wikimedia servers are located. The United States is not obliged to extend copyright beyond what it would be in the author's own country, and virtually all countries have copyrights that last for the author's life plus some number of years."
I don't have a specific example, Shiju. Was thinking out aloud.
Thank you.
Best,
