Fun cultural note for those reading this who may not know: a &quot;lakh&quot; is just 100,000 of anything, in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.  People do not speak or think in terms of &quot;millions&quot; regardless of the magnitude, it would be &quot;20 lakh&quot; not &quot;2 million&quot; even when spoken in an English sentence.  You might sometimes hear &quot;half a lakh&quot; but less often &quot;a quarter lakh&quot; than you would &quot;a quarter million.&quot;
