I too support creation, and agree wholeheartedly with Satdeep's point about
the usability of even inactive Wikisources.
(And a P.S. to Steven's intro about stats – there are no more pages in the
"Hindi" category, I moved them all to the correct category a few weeks ago.)

I am obviously in favour of creating a new Wikisource
for Hindi. I do
however understand MF-Warburg's concern about different language version
but this is not the forum for that.
Also, I don't think we shouldn't be thinking of Wikisource as a Wikipedia.
While on Wikipedia, there is a need to remain updated on facts, Wikisource
is completely different. We can have a good Wikisource without even having
a large amount of regular editors because it's different. As a friend would
say, Wikisource is a renewable resource. It would still be useful for
people. This is also a discussion for another time.
For now, I strongly support creation of Hindi Wikisource.
Best
Satdeep
