The server will always produce times in the timezone it is configured to run. If you want an indian citizen to have his real "now", you need to somehow find out his timezone and create datetime objects with it yourself. To do so, you could try and use IP-based localisation, or you might make it a configurable option in the users profile. But I fear that whatever TG will create as dates - e.g. by FormEncode-validators - will all be in one timezone. So you need to post-process that.
