You really need to stop and think. If it was so easy why is there an entire GSOC project for this.

@Harshita-kothari unfortuneatly making Joomla articles multi category aware is a big task and needs much more than this change. The whole architecture needs a big redesign where we have a whole GsoC project for it. Therefor I'm closing this pr and suggest you pick another issue to fix.

Thank you for the clarification. I understand that multi-category support
requires a larger architectural change.

I will explore smaller issues and continue contributing to Joomla. I
appreciate your guidance.
