We have extensively used GIS with GeoDjango. While GIS is doable, maybe we should agree upon what the primary purpose of the site should be. What I thought that you were proposing was a site that acts as a central location where data from multiple Indian data sources are accumulated, and provided to users via an API. While we are also interested in GIS, visualisation, and reporting, to my mind that should be a secondary focus for this site.
