What does different-different mean?

Question

What does different-different mean? I see it in articles. I have asked what it means. So far no one can tell me what it means. As a native speaker of English I have not seen that anywhere except articles here. So I assume it means something to the people of India but I do not know what that is.

Riddhi I assume you are not from India. As I said I assume it means something to the people of India. I need an answer ideally from someone that has used  different-different  or at least someone that has seen it used and understand it. Thank you for your offer to attempt to figure it out but I think we need something from someone in India or from India. The people of India tend to use terminology more common for the British but I assume that even the British do not say  different-different . I am an editor of this web site. When I see  different-different  in an article I change it to  different  so I am not aware of any examples; I have already edited all the uses of it I have seen. So if  different-different  is the same as  different  then I do not need an answer.

Hi... As far as my knowledge goes there is nothing like different-different. We can say - There are different things. Can you please give some examples(1 or 2) where this different-different expression is used.
