Till recently I used to work on a project developing a beautiful, harmonized font family for all the world's written languages <https://code.google.com/p/noto/> (that have been encoded in Unicode).
Among the major Indic languages/scripts that are encoded in Unicode, none have the concept of upper and lower cases encoded in the standard. The Brahmi script from which Indic scripts are descended was also uni-case. Brahmi is said to be descended from Phoenician via Aramaic which both are also uni-case. While we are on the subject... for some odd reason, some Tamil magazines tend to use regular text for headings and italicized text for bodies of articles. But there is considerable variation between magazines and I have never been able to find out how this convention came about.
