Why can't you create a character style for your numbers: one for Hindi numerals and another for Arabic numerals? In the Font tab of each character style, set the font you want to use and the Language that will give you the appropriate numerals. Then select the appropriate style before entering a number, and select Default after entering the number. For more information on Styles, see the styles chapters in the Writer's Guide available at: http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/.
Because then he'd have to set the different style for each block of text. That could be a pain. I'd recommend a font that displays the numerals differently in each language. That's by far the easiest solution, and it makes the document portable so that those who are not familiar with the Hindi characters (Arabs born in North/South America or Europe) can read it. They can simply switch fonts.
