I used to do that too, then I discovered that Emacs has excellent Indic- language typing tools, with option to choose keyboard mapping, etc. So far, that's the best option I've found for typing long texts in Indic languages.
Agreed Emacs isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you can get past the initial curve it's dead easy to type Indic with.
Just install ibus and it has many options including transliteration - type in phonetic english and you get Indian language output. It works in any application including your web browser. That way there is not even an initial curve, but it can be slow compared to learning inscript, so I think the initial effort to learn it is well worth the effort.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
