Try opening the file in OO.o, save as pdf, and use pdf2ps to convert
the pdf to postscript. pdf2ps is a part of the GhostScript package.
On Debian systems, it is in the gs-common package.

Scribus uses the QT toolkit, and KDE's rendering subsystem, so has
good support for most Indic languages, especially, Hindi, IMHO. I say
IMHO, because I do not use Hindi. Dunno about postscript and
Inkscape.
