In reply to:

Oh--I just reminded myself of another question: a couple of times in the book, I have seen ref.'s to an amount of...Rupees?, for ex.: R 1,50,000. Can anybody tell me how many 1,50,000 of anything is? That first comma has me bumfuzzled.

My first thought was that it might have been a reference to 1 crore, 50 lakhs, but I couldn't explain the other zeros. Here's another possibility. Maybe there's a zero missing from the number, so that it should be Rs 1,500,000. Just a stab in the dark, of course. Where's my Radha when I need her?
