Veerji I used Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele), its an OS X keyboard layout editor.
For Ubuntu/Linux flavors you might want to look at Keyboard Layout Editor http://code.google.com/p/keyboardlayouteditor/ Aman bhaji introduced me to Jhelum, I have found it easier for beginners and layout is mostly based on phonetic keys. I'm not very sure how compatible it is with Hindi; I have not had a chance to check primarly because I can hardly recall typing in Hindi on my computer. English/Punjabi works mostly for me, but it is a very valid point to check. Aman can give more insights on the issue.
