Sorry, but please do it on /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in.
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/gur is *obsolete*.

I was doing that on Debian Sid. But on Sid:
 $> ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in
ls: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in: No such file or directory

So that Debian Sid machine might be missing something.

Anyhow, here is the diff from a Debian Testing machine:

Looks like the above is not going to work as I had thought it would. The main problem is the line for key <AB01>. We cannot take out the "z" from that key, it is extremely useful for undoing edits. If that is remapped to 0x1000A71, that undo functionality is gone. And that turns out to be really bad.

So here is the new diff which I am using currently:
