This being India, both numbers are entirely credible, but clearly one or both is inaccurate.


Earlier today I reported on India’s New Delhi World Book Fair, which has just concluded, citing reports that just shy of 1 million visitors turned out.

Another report has just crossed my e-desk asserting 2 million visitors were at the same fair.

This being India, both numbers are entirely credible, but clearly one or both is inaccurate.

I’m now awaiting confirmation from the fair organisers as to the official count. Updates as and when.
