I'd love to see what the government ends up with after adding 7 here :P

speak about this... we may also try and meet some Minister or some senior
MLA too rega
Shiju had conducted a workshop on the basics of editing Wikipedia last week
in Sanskrit Bharati, Girinagar (which is probably the same organisation that
TOI refers to). I had also been there, and am in touch with the

Hoi,
As the Sanskrit wikisource is waiting for its creation, there is additional

A quick note to say yes, do know the people who moved this request. We will

We can discuss this in the evening meetup. I have requested the gentleman
