Tim, is your suggestion that some scripts are more 'Indian' than others, and that the Indianness or usefulness of the script is based on its origins. > My cousin who is well educated in English and fluent in oral > Konkani has great difficulty reading Konkani in the the Roman > script.... Are you sure this problem stems from the script itself, or from the vocabulary of that the priest-defined Konkani (called 'padri-bhas' by some)? This variant of Konkani, particularly after the end of Portuguese colonial rule, has shifted to being excessively (?) Sanskrit-influenced, making it arguably unintelligible to the average speaker of Konkani.
