I guess when you have a population of 1.5 billion people, you're going to have a certain percentage of retards. A quick online search says 1.4-2% retards.
2% of 1.5 billion is 30,000,000 That's higher than the population of New York City.
@MaleGoddess You also have to account that they're doing these stupid stunts for clout due to their culture and a majority of them believe in reincarnation so even if they die it's not that big of a deal.
