It's more to do with the demand.. it is very very common for quite a few 
Indians to speak / write / read / understand 3-4 languages, but businesses 
require only english. Though local state govenments do require all 
communication in both english and the local state language, there yet isn't 
such a demand.. Once the need arises, someone will hopefully oblige :) 

The last 7 years or so of being in local email industry, i  have yet to see 
a requirement for the local language.. at the same time i see a lot of work 
being done on Indian languages, check sarovar.org (the Indian sourceforge) 
which tells me to get a second opinion from the local LUGs.
