It's working at my end. I can select Hindi text in ncst-term and paste it
to Mozilla and vice versa. Are you running both ncst-term and Mozilla after
setting your language to hi_IN.UTF-8?

This most probably is the problem with vim-6.x. I have observed that
vim-6.x series is still not able to correctly recognize UTF-8 sequence
sometimes (I use vim-6.0). Alternatively, you can use gnotepad (gnp) to
edit your text. select-copy-paste operation is working properly across
gnotepad, ncst-term, and mozilla.
