The short answer is: we are blind by eyes, the sited society using computer is blind by mind. In India, it has another genuine reason too. They have a long time history of rule by colonists. Many Indian feel proud in speaking English, doing what western do, using English calender or ignoring own identity. Writing a full stop in Hindi instead of purna Viram is a good example. There is no reason to adopt a dot as a sentence end mark except to sublimate with their colonist past. The traditional system was build when one computer could not handle many language alphabets. Now they are still following the wrong practice. That is the reason I used to request you not do ask why done by other people, just ask what is there and what is not there. The world is full of fool persons!
