Hello all,
In Debian 9, I am not able to find input sources for Hindi or Tamil in "Region & Language" settings of GNOME.
Is there any specific package that has to be installed for this?

This was fixed in 9.2. Please update your system (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade). See https://tracker.debian.org/news/874249
You need xkb-data 2.19-1+deb9u1

Are you on debian 9, I think the recent update fixed this issue.

No this was a bug which was introduced due to removal of indian language
layouts from the main xml file which gnome uses. This was removed because an
Indian Redhat developer thought that these layouts are not useful and may
clutter gnome control center. You can see the commit here ->
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=913af7dafaab8ff4a9a...
This was reverted when users reported the issue and I guess debian guys
patched the files and released it with an update. Other distros will have to
wait for the new release of xkb I think.
