Dear Friends,
Some of you may already know of the death of Dr. Sharmila Rege on July 13,
2013 [1]. For many people, especially in Pune and Maharashtra, who think of
her as a hero, a mentor, and one of the strongest voices in Indian Dalit
feminism theory and practice, it has been a great loss. From the CIS-A2K we
were in active conversation with her to introduce Wikipedia as a pedagogic
activity in her Department and in Pune University.
The articles on Rege on English WP [2] and Marathi WP [3] are stubs. There
are already some who are trying to expand the article on EN WP. Thought
some of you would be interested in joining hands in expanding these
articles. A Wikipedian's way of honouring a hero like Rege.
Regards,
Vishnu
