I'm interested in the Indian flavour of using lakh as a unit of measurement. Indian English hooks on the front page are cool, we just need to link it to lakh as most readers won't know what it is. The structure needs sorting out slightly - the first para should be a WP:LEDE. tapscape.com reference is missing a link. The CS monitor reference doesn't use lakh?
