Are US / European driver licenses accepted in India?

India is a signatory to the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic and recognizes the standard format International Driving Permit.

As long as you are licensed to drive in your country and your country is also a signatory to the convention, you can get an IDP and use it in India.

Assuming your country is a signatory to the convention, there will be an organization which is authorized to issue these permits in your country.
This somewhat old page shows a list of some of the options for different countries.
For example in the USA, the AAA and National Automobile Club both offer this service and in the UK the AA and the Post Office are options.
