There are two problems:
One is the language is different between ibus-indic-table and ibus-m17n.

E.g. ibus-indic-table
% /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-indic-table --xml
    <engine>
        <name>hindi-phonetic</name>
        <longname>hindi-phonetic</longname>
        <language>hi_IN</language>
...
        <layout>us</layout>
        <description>This is a Marathi Typing booster engine table for IBus Table.</description>
    </engine>


E.g. ibus-m17n
% /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-m17n --xml
        <engine>
            <name>m17n:hi:phonetic</name>
            <longname>phonetic (m17n)</longname>
            <description>Hindi input method for phonetic layout.
...
            <language>hi</language>
            <rank>1</rank>
        </engine>


The m17n language is hi but indic-table lang is hi_IN.
I'd recommend to have the same language between engines.

If the languages are different, the long name has the higher priority so currently indic-table is checked at first but they are no rank tag above.
So Hindi locale doesn't load any engines by default.
If you uninstall ibus-indic-table, then the short name (hi) is checked and m17n engines are loaded because they has rank 1 above.

If you'd like to load ibus-indic-table engines by default, they needs the non-zero rank in the xml output.

Forwarding to ibus-indic-table at first.

thanks fujiwara for analysis.
