Yes, and yes.
Unlike the South, sometimes you need to know how to ask where things are, usng the "100 words" that will get you by in any local language. But you'll be fine without Hindi, too, just takes awhile sometimes.

It helps to hook up with an Indian girl shortly after you land and have her travel with you. Mumbai is a good place to meet one followed by Goa. Make your intentions clear from the start or getting rid of her can be a major hassle.

I would recommend the Lonely Planet Hindi/Urdu phrasebook. I have purchased it online and it should get u by if u have any problems. I used their phrasebook when l first came to China and its been an invaluable resource
