[Nilgiri]

India's data is from 2011 & Bangladesh's data is from 2016...
Bangladesh 2011 literacy from same source - 47.08

Dude you fact checked too early man, you got to give the bongs at least 3 pages head start next time ok? Then only you can crush their spirits good and hard.

I mean cmon can't go all Dinesh Karthik on them like that so soon.....take it from a veteran here

This is not even approaching just how badly (even for developing country level) BD does its "statistics" in the first place....but thats another convo:

Adult (15+) literacy rate (%). Total is the percentage of the population age 15 and above who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement on their everyday life. Generally, 'literacy' also encompasses 'numeracy', the ability to make simple arithmetic calculations. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of literates aged 15 years and over by the corresponding age group population and multiplying the result by 100.

That's a big jump, was there an adult literacy program in (claimed) effect at large scale and intensity?

Because its impossible to do that by natural (higher youth education prevalence) population replenishment alone.

Skipping aside the BBS for time being.
