According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, an idiot is defined as, a person affected with extreme mental retardation2: a foolish or stupid person.
The Supreme Court of India felt that it needed to come up with legal definition and so this is how the Indian legal community should define an idiot now
To be legally accepted as an 'idiot',
1. one has to be so dumb as to be unable to count till 20,
2. unable list the days of the week
3. fail to remember the names of one's parents
Also the Supreme Court identified just four kinds of people who could be classified mentally unsound — idiots, the very ill, lunatics and drunks.
