I don't know why I can't see any need for serious development here! Why can't 
we/they just convert those 9 numbers to their corresponding Arabic numbers, 
do the calculations, and then convert them back to Indic-arabic numbers to 
display. It should be trivial.

If this would be considered as just a hack and not a clean solution, again the 
question arises where do I need to file this bug. Behdad mentioned he knows 
about the issue. It's not enough. We need a bug to be filed and well-known by 
the developers and the Arabic community.
