When you say "the Indian writing tradition", would that be Devanagari? Gujarati? ...
From one perspective, Latin has a convenient neutrality.

Subject: Re: India seeks Rupee status symbol
... there are more Rupee related characters in the Unicode standard:
U+09F2 BENGALI RUPEE MARK
U+09F3 BENGALI RUPEE SIGN
U+0AF1 GUJARATI RUPEE SIGN
U+0BF9 TAMIL RUPEE SIGN
U+20A8 RUPEE SIGN
Would be nice (from the typographic point of view) if India would come
up with a character that refects more the indian than the latin
writing tradition.
There is nearly some kind of *glyph code* for currency symbols in the
last years:
two bars.
Best regards,
Johannes
