All you need is your mysql database/tables created with default encoding as utf8. If the database engine default is not utf8 compatible then you may need to define the columns explicitely with utf8-general and so on.

Then the database.yml in the rails configured with 'encoding: UTF8'

You are ready to go.

I dont see any indic editors attached to rails or php or any other web technologies.

There are some javascripts available for indic languages to help typing in Indian languages. You can fit them into rails as you normally do the Ajax stuff.
