And on a related topic...I find that many north Indian language newspapers and magazines stick to the numbers as written in that language, but Tamizh (I don't know about other south Indian languages) magazines/newspapers have adopted Roman numerals for numbering the pages. Was this the practice from the start? Were Tamizh numbers ever used in recent, living memory?
