AFAIK, Indian numerals can not be used in calculations

Thanks, Ashwin!

Manoj, thanks for bringing up this need.  It won't make it into this round of prioritization, but it can be added to the backlog.  I would happily create a Phabricator ticket on your behalf, but I need to better understand the need you describe.  Where would you like to use Indic numerals, exactly?  In template parameters, for example? (i.e. instead of the 1 and 2 in: {{some_template|1=this|2=that}}?)

Could you give some examples of what you meant?

Thanks,

    A.
