Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that's true- even among my friends, only a few expert Hindi speakers were able to follow hindi.po completely. However, I figured that only those people who are more comfortable in Hindi than English will actually use hindi.po, so we might as well do it right :)

I also discovered another thing- even expert Hindi speakers don't seem to understand Hindi grammar very well :p After a few hours of studying, I was able to correct a few more mistakes that others weren't able to spot. Here's the diff.

Junio: Please squash this into the first revision of the patch.
