It’s time India switches to millions and billions instead of lakhs and crores

[Curious_Guy]

I like Lakh Crore Arab Kharab system, i have noticed many a times instead of saying something in arab aur kharab they will use hazar crore, lakh crore in Indian media. Is there a particular reason for that?

Me like MahaYugum

the left side sounds like some delicious food... like dosa or uttapam...

they should be used in Hindi, instead of English.

English media uses lakhs and crores when talking about rupees but millions and billions when talking about dollar...
btw its lakhs and crores in many other Indian languages too...

I don't care what system people use. I just hate it when people use Lack and Coror in English, they put an accent on it and think it's an English word.

Please stop doing that, Lack and Coror are not English words, when speaking to someone in English, who is not from the subcontinent, don't ude Lack and Coror.

It will be good if GoI introduces new unit for ₹1 lakh.
₹1 lakh crore = 1 Nishak
