Perhaps we should see and explore more of these -- simple Math techniques to help all learn Maths with ease and faster : https://www.amazon.in/Power-Vedic-Maths-Atul-Gupta-ebook/dp/B008JZQRSC -- instead of expensive *international* schools. That book in the link costs less than Rs. 150! I am sure many of you have already come across such books.
