When you say Chinese and Indian, which dialects are you looking for?
You really should be specific here since both have quite a few dominant dialects.

i know for the 2011/12 tomtoms and garmins they have both canto and mando dialects, in both simplified and traditional writing.
and since i can't read indian, i can't confirm if it has both hindi and punjabi dialects, but they should.
also both garmin and tomtom offer free downloads for languages.
I sell GPS' so i've seen it.

pssst get a nokia phone 
as for devices like tomtom etc you should be able to download any language and install it i know there are websites where you can manually download languages to install on your unit (not sure about pre-installed languages)
you could even download cartoon/movie star voices

I can offer you a Garmin unit in a foreign language. Entire transaction will take place in Russian.
