Sign of the Paper

Back in early 16th Century, the Afgho-Indian ruler, Sher Shah Suri started the first ever postal system of the world, addressing the household and sending out messages in bits of paper....

He also was the architect of the first organized highway of the World, the Grand Trunk Road that connected the port lands of Bengal (India) with the rich plains of the North East frontiers, up to Landi Kotal, via Peshawar (now in Pakistan).

He also has another credit to his reign, apart from being a menace to the mighty Mughals... he segregate the Indian currency system to bring parity to the land...

Today, the Indian Government of the twenty first century makes an upgrade move, making a symbolic attempt to symbolize the Indian currency. In the light of some common names like Rupiah (Malaysia and Burma), Srilankan Rupees, etc, the Indian Rupee made her own lustre as gher government announces the symbol for it...

Indian Rupee
India, making her headway in the World Economy stage now joins the UK Pound, Euro, US Dollar, Yen and Rouble to become the sixth currency with a symbol and also the fifth nation to do so, since Euro is a collective currency.
