Hi @neelguha! this is neat. It is close to the concerns of some in the Wikidata community around "subsetting", so I've linked it from the Tools section in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Schemas/Subsetting#Tools_and_Data

One of the reasons folk are interested in Wikidata subsets is that it can be too large a dataset to work with comfortably - so pulling out just the bits most relevant to some application is appealing. There's also a concern to encourage offsite usage of the data so that the load on query.wikidata.org remains manageable while the project and datasets grow. In both cases, tools like yours seem relevant, although the problem of characterising what goes in the subset can be tricky.
