http://data.gov.in - it doesn't have census data yet. http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/hlo/HLO_Tables.html has lots of aggregate data in an open format (PDFs) but not in an accessible / machine-readable format. The Census has a deal with JNU where the data is made available on computers there.
