Thank you all for your responses. Thanks Pradeep for telling us that the bid was a placeholder bid. I was not aware of that. Placing the placeholder was indeed a good action, though of course, it would have been better if wider publicity of placeholder being placed were given.
I'm personally happy to see Mumbai opting to build up local community activities which it missed out last year due to their full and tremendous commitment to WikiConference 2011. Mumbai Community has been doing great events and they have a wonderful line up including GLAM. I'm of the opinion that the Delhi bid be discarded prima facie and as Mumbai has clarified its stance, Arjuna Rao Chawala, as Chapter head may like to confirm India's non-participation in contesting for hosting Wikimania 2013. Of course, if there are dissenting opinions please pitch in right away as it may seem that I'm trying to rush through with this issue, which is not the case.
