Reborn as the richest man in India.

Chapter 25 The one who can eat swan meat is definitely the golden toad

The man's words made Qiao Ge stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Bosh to find him.

The tone of the other party is a bit tough, there is no room for negotiation, you must go by yourself, what is the important thing?
But in Bosh's capacity, if he is looking for someone, few people in Mumbai dare to refuse, and generally they must pass by.

Qiao Ge naturally didn't mean to refuse, and he wouldn't make trouble for himself, maybe it's a good thing, at least the relationship between himself and Bosh is pretty good right now.

It's just that the guy's expression and attitude in front of him made him a little uncomfortable.

The five bosses next to Jogo immediately understood who Bosh was. They knew that Jogo had been having a hot fight with Director Bosh recently, which made them seem envious.

They are all millionaires, they can be regarded as small assets, but they still can't catch up with the relationship of a big man like Bosh.

If it was a multi-millionaire like Gu Dali, it would probably be about the same.

"Qiao Ge, Your Excellency Director has something to look for, you go quickly, there is no rush here, we will wait here for a while." One person said.

Others chimed in.

Jogo was not hypocritical, and after asking Sara to treat the five bosses well, he followed the man out.

After going out, Qiao Ge saw a car parked outside, which is the official vehicle of the government.

"I don't know what your name is?" Jogo asked politely after getting into the car.

"Daruye Thakal."

Qiao Ge understood that this guy was a Kshatriya. It can be seen from his surname. No wonder his tone just now was a little tough, and his expression made him a little uncomfortable. He was a high caste, so he had a sense of superiority.

"Mr. Thakal, I don't know why Lord Bosh is looking for me?" Jogo asked again.

"You'll know when you go, why are there so many problems?" Takal glanced at Jogo sideways, replied coldly, and then stopped talking.

Jogo's heart suddenly jumped, what kind of eyes were those, disdainful, contemptuous?
This guy is caste-discriminatory.

His own Vaisya status, in the eyes of him, a Kshatriya, is a low caste.

Since the other party looked like this, Jogo didn't bother to ask any more.

These days, although the caste system is still very influential, it has been greatly improved compared to before.

It must be mentioned here that many people may have some misunderstandings about Indian castes, thinking that people of lower castes have no chance of getting ahead.

In fact, it’s not true, everything has to be viewed in two parts.

There are also poor people in high castes such as Brahmins, and these people are actually quite miserable.

The Indian government has special care policies for low castes and untouchables such as Vaishya and Sudra. For example, the number of university admissions and government civil servants must reserve a certain percentage of places for low castes and untouchables. This is India's low caste reservation Policy, when Modi was in power in the previous life, this ratio exceeded 50%, which is very outrageous.

That is to say, if civil servants recruit 40 people, the lower castes will directly allocate more than half of the places, and then the remaining [-] or so places will be contested by everyone.

Those excellent low castes can also compete with the high castes for more than 40 places. If they can't compete, they can compete for the reserved places. It can be regarded as two chances, and the difficulty of admission for the reserved places will be much lower.

The poor of the high caste cannot get relief from the government because they are of the high caste.

However, even if rich people of low caste are very rich, they can still enjoy various subsistence allowance benefits and some tax cuts and other policies by relying on their status.

Of course, in the previous life, although these retention ratios increased, they also increased restrictions. For example, rich people from low-caste families whose income exceeds a certain amount, or officials of a certain level in government departments, police systems, and the army, etc., then they and Children can no longer enjoy this preferential system.

But in 1986, the system was not perfect. Although the proportion of retaining the system was not as high as in the previous life, children from rich families like Qiao Ge could still enjoy this kind of preferential treatment.

Didn't the people around think that he had a chance to be admitted to the Indian Institute of Technology?
If he really wanted to compete with those high-caste academic bullies, Qiao Ge would be far behind, and he would have no chance at all.

But he is a Vaishya and belongs to a low caste, so he can avoid those high caste academic masters and compete for reserved places in schools among the low castes. Their admission scores may be hundreds of points lower than those of the high castes.

Most of the families of the Vaishya class have average conditions, and most of them study in public schools, and the quality of teaching in public schools is really poor, so those who can study in international schools like Jogo are naturally at an advantage.

In the previous life, the voices of the lower castes in India became louder and louder. After all, the lower castes and untouchables accounted for the majority, and the Indian general election depends on the number of votes.

To get high votes, the ruling party has to curry favor with the lower castes, so systems that are beneficial to the lower castes continue to be introduced.

This caused the interests of the high caste to be damaged. For this reason, the high caste in India broke out a lot of riots, self-immolation protests, etc., and many people died, or asked the government to lower their caste.

That's right, you read that right, the high caste requires the government to include them in the low caste, so that they can enjoy the various reservation system benefits of the low caste.

Think about it, for example, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and civil servants, low caste can be admitted with a few hundred points lower, in addition to various other benefits, this temptation is huge.

In the face of huge interests, the caste system is also disintegrating, and times are changing. Don't always use the previous caste system to look at India.

Just a few days ago, on May 2023, 5, a large-scale violent conflict broke out in the Manipur state in northeastern India, killing more than 3 people and injuring hundreds of others. The fuse that triggered the riot was the main body of the state. The high-caste ethnic groups wanted the government to include them in the special care groups of the low-castes, but were opposed by other low-castes.

Taking care of low castes in India is a bit like discriminating against blacks in the United States. It has become a kind of political correctness.

Low caste background is a plus item for politicians, while high caste background is a minus item.

For example, the fourth generation of the Nehru Gandhi family, Nehru's great-granddaughter, Priyanka Gandhi, the daughter of the current Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, she is the first-class Brahmin, and her husband is the fourth-class prime minister Dhara.

This is a model of inter-caste marriage, which greatly added points to Priyanka Gandhi, and received support from many lower castes, which was very helpful to her political career.

Of course, although her husband is a sudra, his family is very rich and is a well-known wealthy family in India.

It is impossible for a noble Brahman to marry a low caste who has nothing.

If a toad can eat swan meat, it is definitely a golden toad.

After all, you have to have money.

In fact, among the richest people in India, low castes account for more than half.

For example, the well-known Tata family of the Tata Group, the Ambani family of the Indian Reliance Industries Group, and the Mittal family of the Indian steel giant are all Vaisyas.

Gautam Adani, the richest man mentioned above, is even more of a pariah.

Most of the rich belong to the Vaishya class, that is because according to the Indian caste classification, the Vaishya is the traditional business and trading class, and they are born to do business.

Therefore, most of the low-caste rich come from traditional industries.

High-caste rich people are more in IT consulting and other industries. After all, IT is a technology-based emerging industry, and low-caste people rarely have access to it.

In addition, the higher caste has a higher proportion of senior officials in government departments, the army or the police system.
