You make what you measure. They measured snakes.
What do you suppose they should have measured instead? Honestly I’m coming up blank.
Probably could’ve just employed people, with one of their responsibilities being to manage the cobra population — not tying their pay to how many cobras they killed.
Same thing was said about French colonial forces and the Vietnamese but with rats instead of snakes.

Iirc there’s no evidence of this actually happening, could be an old folktale for all we know lol
I love the colonial britain getting hustled. But how does having increased cobras benefit India?

Fewer rats I suppose.
Now we’re talking.
Like all cute stories that justify markets, it’s fake lol
