It sounds like there is something not quite right on your machine, or perhaps the way Java is set up. I run JOSM on Linux and I have Korean fonts and a Korean text input method. I can view Korean strings, and enter and edit them with no problem whatsoever. I can enter English and Korean on the same line, even. I suggest you look at what fonts you have installed. Clearly you have one that includes Indian characters. Perhaps JOSM's font selector is using a font that does not have Indian characters. Since I haven't had this problem I'm not sure what causes it, or the solution, but that's where I would start.
