Ramesh,
Could you try http://ml.m.wikipedia.org/ from your phone? (Of course, it'll
still need the fonts.)
To my knowledge, Malayalam Wikipedia is the only Indian Wikipedia to have a
mobile interface (I could be wrong).
For Tamil Wikipedia, only the final steps are pending.
- Sundar
"That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
- George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture
