Based on responses as included, I assess I failed to communicate using above few lines. Allow me to explain. On 15 July 2010, Unicode had moved at lightning speed to register a proposal from an Unicode insider and registered it at 23:39 HRS. On this date, Unicode had received proposals for same purpose form non-insiders too -- as you know this is true because India is a nation of over a billion populations. So what method Unicode had used to choose to register the only proposal from an insider? Doesn't it sound like insiders trading :-') In order to recognize Unicode as the discoverer of India new Rupee sign it must be transparent displaying all proposals submitted on 15 July 2010. If ISO approves, even if Unicode does not approve, India’s new Rupee sign gets approved automatically. So why did Unicode rush hastily in this way? Will India pay Unicode anything at all? Do you know if India wants you guys to gossip in this way in this forum? India is World’s largest democracy by the way :-‘) Hoping I have explained! Any question, please feel free to ask.

I do not recommend haste/rush. Michael has uploaded the proposal at mid-night 23:39 HRS. What if there were other proposals submitted to Unicode on that day? Submitted none is great! If not I am afraid, it will raise questions on Unicode's professional-moral.

As I said, having had experience with the EURO SIGN, I believe it is imperative that matters like this be handled quickly so that implementors can get to work.

What I did in writing the proposal and submitting it in a timely fashion, and in telling some of the Indian websites about it, may help to prevent a misuse of the existing RUPEE SIGN. This is called "being responsive". And I did the same thing with the HRYVNIA SIGN, and the TENGE SIGN, and I shall do so with the RUBLE SIGN when it solifies.
