@sanke1 yeah. Don't upgrade so soon. Wait for iOS 8.1.x. Just as I'm typing this, Safari crashed again with a BSOD
seems like I spoke too soon
Language is English. Nothing to do with regional languages! This issue is faced all over the world. What's the point of disabling iCloud sync ? It's like saying having car troubles? Remove the engine and check if you can use the car! The system as whole should work as intended.
This problem started after iOS8 update. So that's the culprit. I'm going to return my iPad tomorrow and see what happens. I've manages to partially video capture a couple of restarts, hopefully the service centre guys accept it as proof.
please do find a fix .
P.S. I think this issue is with low memory-1GB. iOS 8 needs a bit more I think. This is just a guess.
It is still happening with iOS 8.0.2, and no it has nothing to do with 1 GB RAM, it is a software issue specific to only some iPads. Case in point, my dad's original mini with 512 mb RAM is working flawlessly on iOS 8, whereas as I mentioned earlier, rMini with 1 GB Ram is rebooting once a day.
Gave my iPad mini retina in for servicing. Finally convinced them that the issue is not just a figment of my imagination. Also, After 8.0.2 safari is also not responsive if I open sites on iPad which are on my desktop. Keyboard has gone funny too.
Sorry, I could not upload. Hence I'm posting Google Drive link for the image

Issue solved for me
The latest update seems to have fixed things up considerably. No reboot/BSOD since latest update.
