I wanted to send a patch so I took a quick look at ind-util.el, and ISTM
that the hashtable `indian-tml-itrans-v5-hash' is calculated just once?
Unfortunately, I don't understand the dances in ind-util.el,
lisp/leim/indian.el, etc. so I'm afraid I cannot be of any help here.
[ It should be a simple change if we don't make it a defcustom AFAIU. ]

As a native Tamil speaker, I can attest that contemporary text uses the
Arabic numerals (in fact, Tamil digits are mentioned as a matter of fact
in schools). I'm not sure about the situation in Sri Lanka, tho.
I can try asking the native speakers of Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam,
Hindi, Gujrati, and maybe Punjabi, Marathi and Bengali, too. The sample
size will mostly be N=1 for most of these languages however, but given
that they are native speakers, their statement should hold a lot of
weight.
