The new rupee symbol deserved a more dignified debut

View as Slide Show | View Thumbnails

The Indian rupee's new symbol, an elegant, simple and brilliant combination of Sanskrit Ra and the English R without the stem, deserved a more dignified debut.

All we got was a minister holding up an A4-size sheet of paper for cameras sitting at her desk.

No fancy unveiling, no fireworks or music, no celebrations at all?

How unfortunate. How inelegant. How crass.
