As noted by Karunakar in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171767
this is an issue with conventions at the xkeyboard-config project.
The convention is to use country-based layouts. That is, in the India layout file you add the layouts for all Indian languages.
There is an exception for languages such as Arabic which is spoken in more than a dozen countries; in this case there is an Arabic layout file.

To change the files from country-specific to language-specific would
require to start again the discussion.

However, if you try Ubuntu 10.04, you will notice that the keyboard
settings offer the option to search for a layout according to the
language. The data files are still country-specific, though now you have
the option to search per language.

Therefore, what you can do is bring the subject again to the KDE team to
emulate the functionality found in GNOME for this.

I'll mark this report as completed. If you have any questions, feel free
to ask again.
