There are Indian/Hindi* instances:

(Thank you for your work, BTW! 🧡🤍💚)
But your question is valid, as the Global South is totally underrepresented.
Mastodon is still strongly dominated by white North America and Europe. Japan has some very large instances, but there is limited interaction. Latin/South America is also growing.
With every new wave, some new regions join, I saw in the last wave entering many Turkish accounts, for example.
The network effect is a thing. We need to be welcoming to people from these places and invest some time to make the early adopters feel comfortable (e.g. by boosting them to facilitate them to find their peers).
For a more diverse Fediverse! :fediverso: :black_sparkling_heart:

*As you asked for Hindus, I unsure whether you are interested in followers of the religion or people from India.

@Jdreben @parker Also, in before “#FediDiVersity isn’t going to happen”
In conversations/thoughts I’ve had about #Fediverse platforms, I return to the idea that microblogging alone is an insufficient social media ecosystem. Rather, it works best as a glue between all the others (not unlike a “town square” I guess).
I feel like that’s how Twitter went (?), and, that we can all kinda feel an “incompleteness” with Mastodon that is the lack of other popular platforms.
#FediDiVersity is vital I think.
