What always cracks me up about India is how they have to figure out how to adapt all the parts that make up a modern democracy to be accessible to their majority illiterate population. Shit like the hand on the coin because you fucking know 33% of pajeets can’t read arabic numbers.
Since you've pretended to show some sympathy at the end I feel inclined to share some info with you on this stuff that maybe contrary to what you like to believe, More so than that I have an interest in this subject as well.
I don't think such a high number of pajeets are incapable of reading numbers neither is the majority population illiterate, Idk where you got that percentage from seems that it's your lucky number lol. More than most Indians are alright at reading numbers because in fact the numeric system that now the whole world follows was originated in an ancient civilization called 'Bharatvarsha' by Vedic mathematicians also known currently as India.
Persian mathematicians were the first ones outside of Bharatvarsha to actually adapt to it because of the friendly relations they had with the civilization in that period (not necessarily mainland Arabs they got it later from Persians but they were most instrumental in spreading it around the middle east), Later it reaches the west through Arabs so I guess maybe western historians thought that it's Arabic. While even the part about them expanding the system isn't entirely true in this
article, The Persian mathematicians just took concepts that were already their and translated it in their own native script but since it's not the main point, So I'll concede on that.
Kids in here first learn the numeric system usually in their regional language or mother tongue which also allows them fundamentally grasp any concept of numbers and to also gives them the ability to learn any other numeric system in a different script/language. Image bellow shows it in different scripts and a lot of them are regional Indian scripts. Devanagiri is the most ancient script here and one that is most commonly used in India still today and if you compare it with the first three rows on this table you can clearly see how similar they appear especially with that one on top.
Now the reason for the hand symbol on that coin was to accommodate for the population who're illiterate not because they haven't received enough education (government education is almost free for all children), Rather it's actually the fact that they're so fucking backward and poor that they've never even been able to consider learning anything in their life, People like this are usually beggars, auto/rikshaw drivers, construction workers, etc. Although funnily enough you wouldn't see that hand thing on newer mints if you check from my recent post about coins here, Because even the government along with the Indian bank reserve realized that the group of people I just mentioned also don't need it anymore. For the time it was their even for such a small insignificant and poor population there such accommodation as done because the authorities thought these people needed it and they're humans too.
Or their voting machines that have pictograms for each party (not a logo, but some random clip art).
From the limited knowledge I have on elections, I can tell you the way elections usually are conducted in India is specifically based upon which party has been able to win most districts in a state through their candidates. Because unlike US it's not a 2 party system, So people in a locality may it be a small village or a metropolitan city are given numerous options to vote on a candidate. Some candidates that are aligned with a mainstream party get picked by their senior staff of ministers and some are independent as well, Each party gets to pick a randomly hand drawn generic symbol by the General Election committee that is then used for representation of their candidate on a local election. It's not clip art just a simple easy to remember symbol. If you ask me they seem kinda wacky lol.
Here's an
article on it.
I admire their creativity on one hand and feel sad for all the people there who can’t receive proper education but on the other hand you can lead an Indian to water and he will shit in it.
Well the so called high literacy states here have been electing Communist, Marxist leaders. Because the education system that the pig rapist bogland nonces had left this country with was intentionally made to sabotage any growth or progress of common citizens. It was so toxic and filled with cucked bri'ish faggotry that anyone that climbed the ladder of education, Instantly became a self hating pajeet that looks down upon his own ancestral heritage, Whilst also pretending to be a gay noble englishmen, In fact the
Gurukulam system was much superior we didn't need any of their whoreshit really.
The only reason why India still has any resemblance of an independent nation is because people here found there brains two decades ago and elected a Patriotic National Socialist leader, Instead of continuing to pick the Congress that was left here so that the west could still have soft control over India. Since then people are starting to learn the actual history and the highly sophisticated rich literature of their land, Which gives them the courage to actually grow intellectually and progress economically.
