What is 1 million in English, is 10 lakhs to us. So, if you tell me there are eight hundred million something in somewhere, I would be left scratching my head first and then writing that on paper and then translating that into lakhs and crores (1 crore is 10000000). Technically we do have a word for million in Bangali at least, 'nijut', but that is never used and is imprisoned in the textbooks for kids. Thank you for the podcast.
you guys are the best.
