Attached patch puts the "Kharosthi" item in both Indian and Misc

[set-language-info-alist.patch (text/x-diff, attachment)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The problem is that when looping, the variables setup-map and
describe-map gets outdated and causes the overwrite.  The solution I

iteration.  This involved moving the keymap-setting forms to a separate
function.
