In this Short, Jatin Sir breaks down:
- Why India had no currency symbol for decades, while 45+ countries
already used one
- How the world's oldest currency symbol (the British Pound) came first,
with the Dollar sign following centuries later
- Why "INR" and "Rs" were costing India a distinct identity
- The 2010 Government of India design competition โ and the IIT professor
who won it
- What's actually inside the โน glyph: the Devanagari "เคฐ", the Latin "R",
and the two parallel lines that carry double meaning
The symbol was adopted on 15 July 2010, designed by D. Udaya Kumar of
IIT Guwahati.
Happy Independence Day ๐ฎ๐ณ
