Blog Entry Eight Challenges That Indian-Language Wikipedias Need to Overcome
by Subhashish Panigrahi — published Mar 29, 2016 — last modified Mar 29, 2016 05:05 PM — filed under: , , ,
Even after a decade of existence, Indian language Wikipedias are not yet known to many Indian language speakers.

Blog Entry Enforcement of Anti-piracy Laws by the Indian Entertainment Industry
by Prasad Krishna — published Jan 22, 2010 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 04:35 AM — filed under: , ,

These bodies not only investigate cases of infringement and piracy relating to the entertainment industry, but tie up with the police and IP law firms to pursue actions against the offenders through raids (many of them illegal) and court cases. Siddharth notes that the discourse on informal networks and circuits of distribution of cultural goods remains hijacked with efforts to contain piracy as the only rhetoric which safeguards the business interests of big, mostly multinational, media corporations.
