Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] The man who edited Tamil Wikipedia from prison.
Hi Rahim, Ansuman, Subha Glad you found it inspiring. //When people talk about languages dying out because of lack of use in writing/computing/communication// Lack of use is a symptom for slow death. The cause has to be studied and fixed !

This is truly inspiring Ravi. I get a new point to explain when other communities ask how Tamil community is so vibrant. When people talk about languages dying out because of lack of use in writing/computing/communication here are the rays of hope and this is beyond the boarders. Best!
