What is the citation for the drivers being "mostly illiterate"? Sounds like bullshit to me.
The country is something like 70-80% literate and a significant part of the illiterate population consists of old people.
- brij0102 7y agoMemory is foggy and I don't have a citation but didn't the definition of literacy in India just involved the ability to read/write your name (officially by govt)? I wouldn't be surprised if a significant percentage was functionally illiterate - that doesn't mean they aren't smart though - likely smarter than the author :)
