I had a look and it could be a good start. Another
approach could be like what Sudha Murthy (Infosys
Foundation) did. She wrote a small intro book in
Kannada on computers (of course, PCs running Win*) 
and how to use them in day-to-day life for basic
purposes. Some such small book could be written as
intro to Computers and Linux for those who don't know
English and who don't know computers. Of course, if
it's written in one Indian language, it will have to
translated into other Indian languages too (at least
some).
