If anyone else has the same comprehension problem I found in the article, a 'lakh' is 100,000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La

  The article is utter nonsense. They took a peak number, 100,000, multiplied it by 86,400 seconds in a day and came up with 8.64 trillion; should be 8.64 billion. Possibly Indians name their number groupings differently; the British do.

    we number the same as the british. The colonial rule had something to do with it.

    No we don't, 1,000,000 is how we group. India, however, does group by two digits, with the exception of the first hundred: 10,00,000
