Ind linux does not use ISCII encoding they use unicode. For typing in the respective languages you will have to map your keyboard for that language. You can try downloading their input methods from there website and check them out (it works only for redhat didn't work on my debian m/c). I don't think they will be any different from the popular phonetic layout.
