There are various way to type in various Indian languages, either via installing some software or do it directly online.
For a long time I am using the second method on windows and Linux as well, recently I found a better and free method to do the same offline via Google labs product transliterate and thought it will be nice if I document it somewhere.
- This first way is via online, http://quillpad.in/ and its as easy as typing in English. Just give a try.
- The second way is also online via http://www.google.com/transliterate/
you can also download the offline software from Google from the link here.
Personally I like the Google one (both online and offline).
I will shortly put a video covering the topic :)
Posted the video as promised :)
