There was a heated argument between us

I felt low ....
I again asked Gemini, " Who is Babu Rajendra Prasad ??

Today is Republic Day of India.
Presidents of European commission and European councils are the chief guests of this year's Republic Day parade.
Every year, Indian government invites Presidents of various countries as the chief guests.
I wondered did anyone from Pakistan or China attended as chief guests ??!!
Nowadays both the countries are spreading hatred ness against us.
But what about earlier days ??
Both Pakistan and China have a history of being represented in the past..
In the year 1955, Governor general of Pakistan was the chief guest.
In the year 1965, Pakistan food and agricultural minister was the chief guest.
In the year 1965, Chinese Marshall was the chief guest.
That's all !!!!
This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.

Question
In US, gas price $ 3. 5 per gallon
In India, petrol price Rs 100 per litre
Compute price in same unit and same currency.
Answer
To compare,
We will convert Indian price to dollors per gallon.
1 gallon = 3. 785 litres
1 litre of petrol = Rs 100
==>> 100 * 3.785 litres per gallon
==>> 378.5 Rs per gallon
1 US dollor = 89.8 Rs
We have 378.5 Rs per gallon
==>> 378.5/ 89.8 dollor per gallon
==>> 4.21 dollor per gallon
==>> 378.5 Rs per gallon == 4.21 dollor per gallon
==>> Petrol price in India is 4.21 dollor per gallon
==>> whereas in US it is 3.785 dollor per gallon
