You explicitly asked for ‘Language=Hindi’ which is translated to
‘language=HIN’ in the low level font code, and since the font does not
have any lookups with that ‘language’ tag, fontspec is issuing a
warning. Remove the ‘Language=Hindi’ call if you just want the default
language of that script and the warning will go away.
