[idn] Indian scripts and similarities



Hi,

Recently, I found many similarities between Indian language scripts.

  Go to http://www.aczone.com/itrans/tblall/tblall.html
  and click 'Vowel', 'Consonant' and 'Digits' links and look into
  the script comparison tables.

Compare these pairs of scripts:
  1.  Devanagari vs Bengali
  2.  Gujarati  vs Gurmukhi
  3.  Kannada vs Telugu

If indian business names in an Indian state can be expressed 
both in its official language scripts
and in its second language scripts (maybe the official one of another state),
there may be name collisions across Indian states.

Do we need equivalence-conversion tables among Indian language scripts
like that of Traditional/Simplified chinese conversion table
proposed by CNNIC?
