Usually the worst that happens for services in foreign countries is that they get blocked, and wikipedia will survive not being accessible in India.

If the choice is between revealing editors and exiting India altogether, doesn't seem like a hard choice. The people in India will suffer without Wikipedia, but most have VPNs to access blocked sites anyways.

People existed before Wikipedia so it's not a big deal if it's gone

Wikimedia India is an independent nonprofit, with executives in India who could be held in contempt by the Indian courts.

Wikimedia India has nothing to do with the operation of Wikipedia.org and does not appear to be a party to the case. It is just a local wikipedia editors club.
