Try getSymbols("RCOM.NS", from="1900-01-01") instead.
It looks like google has removed the ability to download csv (not much business
providing it;)). In any case, Yahoo historical prices go way back than googles.
For instance, getSymbols("^DJI", from="1900-01-01") ; head(get("DJI")) shows
the first date as 1928!
Hope this helps,
Ivan
