An updated Baraha Hindi keymap is now available at:
http://oriya.sarovar.org/download/hi-baraha.mim . Simply download the
file, copy it to /usr/share/m17n/ and restart SCIM. It should show up
as hi-baraha under the Hindi section (you will need to have both the
scim, and scim-m17n packages installed).

This fixes the earlier map, which was completely wrong, and I believe
that it should be what is required, barring any bugs, and the
shortcomings noted at the top of the file. I will consider extending
this to other Indian languages. Please follow up here if there are
any issues with the keymap.
