Re: India eyes Finland for tech cooperation to give 'Make in India' bo
It has nothing to do with our population.This "crore" is hilarious, you are so many that you had to develop new word for "ten million"
A crore (/ˈkrɔər/; abbreviated cr) is a unit in the South Asian numbering system equal to ten million (10,000,000; Scientific notation: 107), which is written in these regions as 1,00,00,000, equal to a hundred lakh (a lakh is equal to one hundred thousand and is written as 1,00,000). It is widely used in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal. The South Asian numbering system is used in Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, and Nepali.
Source: Crore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe word crore is derived from the Prakrit word krodi,[1] denoting ten million in the Indian numbering system, which has separate terms for most powers of ten from 100 up to 1019. The crore is known by various regional names in modern languages, all derived from the Sanskrit word कोटि koá¹i.
