That is an interesting way of looking at it. Kind of makes sense considering unlike western units, 100k in Hindi is "ek lakh". And in India, the numbers are expressed as xx,xx,xx,xxx. So
100 is sau (hundred),
1,000 is hazar (thousand)
1,00,000 is lakh (hundred thousand)
1,00,00,000 is crore (10 million) Somehow the first split is 1000, then on every order of 100 gets a name. It sure is confusing, but there must be some reason to this. |
