I couldn't agree with you more on this! But there is more to it when it comes to India, it is mostly that "nobody really cares". It is sad that while India is develops, it is rapidly leaving its many languages behind when it comes to the computer; indeed, while Chinese/Arabic keyboards are extremely common, one would be hard pressed to find Hindi, "Nagari", (let alone Bengali) keyboards in India. This despite the nauseous linguistic jingoism in the country's political history. Indeed there has been, sadly very little to show, and it has infact, gotten worse past independence, as with many things; see, http://www.columbia.edu/cu/mesaas/faculty/directory/pollock_pub/classics.pdf http://www.columbia.edu/cu/mesaas/faculty/directory/pollock_... I would not be surprised, at this rate, if India turns into a monoculture, two centuries hence. P.S: Speaking of representation, the script the OP talks of, belongs to the set of phonetically accurate scripts; one which while being populated mostly by Indic scripts, is given - quite disgracefully - the name "abugida", after a lone Semitic script - "Geez" - from Ethiopia - which ironically is probably derived from one of the Indic ones. Systematic biases are far too apparent in Indology.
