To this report, Anand Mahindra was quoted as replying, “What? Made me think of: “The origin of the phrase “Lies, damned lies, and statistics” is unclear, but Mark Twain attribute it to Benjamin Disraeli. It’s a phrase describing the persuasive power of statistics to bolster weak arguments”. Or as we would say in Hindi: Kuch Bhi?”.

Statistics Questionable
The main argument here could even be the fact that not all colours are proportionally sold in the market. It could be that the black and grey colours are the most sold which makes them feature at the top of this list but white is equally well sold. Moreover, most incidents in our country are not even reported. Therefore, it is almost impossible to understand the basis behind these stats. Nevertheless, we should bother less with the stats and more about driving safely and following traffic rules. Because if there is one reason that is common in almost all accidents, it is overspeeding and disrespecting traffic laws.
