India wants its own currency symbol. The rupee is certainly a strong, and storied, currency, but if China doesn't even have a standardized keyboard and the euro sign isn't yet really universal, what chance does the rupee have of making it as a globally recognized symbol?
The development of a common market (Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal) would certainly help; bringing together more than a billion people using the same currency in a volatile region would promote greater market integration and freer trade within South Asia. Though not very likely, if implemented, such a momentous change would help to ensure a little more political stability in the 'hood and it just might make for a lasting rupee (and symbol).
