AFAICT, most modern (released within previous 2 years!!!) Operating
Systems support unicode encoding. Hindi and most other Indian

Use unicode. ;-)
As a side note, I remember a [La]TeX package which maps non-Unicode
fonts in a pdf to Unicode code points, so that searching the pdf in
Unicode works. Have not used it though.
