#magic in India

[litsetaure]

So I got horribly bored a few months back and decided that one wizarding school for all of Asia was fucking stupid and decided to do the maths for how many there should be in India alone in Harry’s time.

At the time (the 90s), the total population of India was around 870 million. Assuming 20% of them are magical, that gives us 174 million.

Let’s say 1% of them are Squibs - take out 1.74 million.

That leaves roughly 172 million who are witches and wizards.

Roughly 10% of them are school age at any one time. That gives you 17.2 million students.

Say each school can hold up to 3000 students. That would mean 5-6000 schools in the whole of India.

Then, at the time, India had 27 states (I think there’s 28 now, plus eight territories)

That’s around 220 schools per state, though obviously that varies depending on state size and population.

Now, I know what you’re probably thinking - how do you fit that many schools into one country? Well, firstly, India is fucking huge. I cannot stress enough how big it is.

Secondly, you know what India has an absolute shit load of? 650,000 at the latest count?

Temples. Hundreds of thousands of temples. Who’s to say that some of them didn’t have magical schools built underneath or inside them? We’ve all heard of Vault B in the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, right? I mean, I’m not saying there’s some equivalent of the Chamber of Secrets in there, but…

a few months ago I'd seen someone on twitter share this image of Barbar caves, the walls of which were polished so perfectly 2000+ years ago that it still shines.

It seems like the western world has finally taken notice of it. so much talent was lost in the last 2 millennia it makes me cry
