What do you think of the new Rupee Symbol

Jul

15

2010

what does the new Sign mean to us all, how much do you like it? How much is its influence globally?

Since our keyboard doesn’t show a rupee sign, is there a shortcut for rupee symbol? Would they update computers with this new sign instead of Rs.

Also why does a currency sign always have 2 lines – is it just the practice

All that is really remarkable about the Indian economy is the gargantuan hype generated about it by the Indian govt. and sections of the media (that is swallowed hook, line and sinker by most among the middle classes) !!

Indian and the Indian economy truly manage every time to make themselves inconspicuous and irrelevant on the world stage !!

When the reality is thus, it is truly hilarious that the Indian govt. keeps trying to wear oversized boots in the matter of ‘projecting India’ (as the whole ruckus about the ‘symbol for the rupee’ is about) !!
