So block the article in India but there’s no reason to block it in the rest of the world. Fuck India’s government gonna do to them?
Hopefully not block the entire website in India.
Why? VPNs exist and fuck Modi
Not everyone knows of/has access to VPN's.
I don't disagree with your sentiment, but I also get why they'd rather try to resolve it legally. If they succeed it will allow for much easier access for the majority of visitors.

Wikipedia unfortunately has a policy of blocking so-called open proxies.
Most of the internet blocks open proxies. They're often times used in malicious attacks. Just blocking them isn't suspicious at all.
