[Wikimediaindia-l] Is it morally right for govts to support sanskrit wikipedia?

[CherianTinu Abraham]

Just in case, you are not aware , there is a Wikipedia in Pali.

http://wikimedia.in/wiki/List_of_Indian_language_wiki_projects#Pali_.E2.80.93_pi

http://pi.wikipedia.org

So can we assume Pali Wikipedia got one more contributor from today ?
