I think this Indian Star Trek has to tred the line carefully between being reminiscent of Indian mythology and being blasphemous. Portraying aliens as local like Hindu Gods, yet being being mortal humanoids, and legally equal to human beings would probably be on the wrong side of that line.

Blue-skin is a well established sign of divinity within Indic culture, so perhaps it would be preserved especially for the 'god-like' aliens that the Enterprise occassionally meets. Perhaps an elephantine Spock is still possible though?

The bad guys, however, would probably not be allowed to show any resemblance whatsoever to Hindu deities. Hinduism respects all of its deities, even if they are antagonistic towards humanity, so to have a religiously-inspired Klingon Empire would probably not be in order - perhaps an antagonistic race based on the Pakistanis, (and then, in TNG, based on the Chinese).
