आज ख़रीदेंगे हम सोना
लेना है पूरा एक तोला
एक तोले में १० माशे
एक माशे में रत्ती आठ.
८० तोले का एक सेर
सोना लेंगे एक तोला
एक सेर हम लेंगे बेर!
Did you know that the weights and measurements system of Ratti, Masha, Tola, Ser and so on, was used non stop from the Vedic period to the British period, and is still used actively in parts of rural India? The weights and measures system that has been with us for over 2,500 years!
You probably know the metric method of grams - kilograms etc. But the Indian system was much more complex - having been designed to cater to many types of materials, while fitting into a universal standard.
