It's just a question of getting the right fonts. If you are using
emacs21 or emacs22, the only fonts I found that worked as advertised
were the (possibly non-free) CDAC fonts. 

The emacswiki link cited above has a recipe for setting a fontset in
your .Xdefaults that worked for me.

You would have a wider choice in fonts if you use emacs-unicode-2. All
the ttf fonts render just fine (at least for Hindi, other indic
languages have some small problems).
