Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

In this era, only people in China and China’s sphere of influence can drink fruit juice. In countries such as Britain and the United States, only rich people can drink it. Ordinary poor Indians don’t even know what "juice" is. That girl tasted it lightly. After taking a sip, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly drank the whole glass of juice, then raised his head while holding the glass up, waiting for the juice hanging on the wall of the glass to flow down.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Pour her another cup."

The girl drank three cups in a row before she had enough, and returned the cup to the soldier on the side. Lin Yuan decided not to go straight to the point and ask her what methods the British used to confuse them. Start with some ordinary things, so Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

The girl replied in a low voice: "My name is 'Paglish' and I am 17 years old."

Lin Yuan then asked, "How old are your children?"

There was a hint of joy on the girl's face, and she said, "Two are two years old, and one is less than one year old."

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "When you were outside just now, why did that person behind you kick you?"

Paglish said apologetically, "I walked in front of him. I can't walk in front of him, so he taught me a lesson. He did a good job. Don't blame him."

Zhang Han translated Paglish's words to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was taken aback when he heard these words, and said to Zhang Han, "Old Zhang, did you make a mistake in the translation?"

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "No, how could the translation be wrong?"

Lin Yuan pointed to the girl and asked, "Then what does she mean?"

Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "Do you remember what I said just now? I said they don't wear shoes maybe not because they can't afford shoes."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Just as I was about to ask what was going on, she started crying, and I was interrupted by her crying. Why did you say that? What's going on?"

Zhang Han said: "Do you know the caste system in India?"

Lin Yuan said: "Of course I know that there are four major castes in India, from high to low they are Brahmin, Kshatrik, Vaisya and Sudra."

Zhang Han said: "Yes, this caste system was first established in the Aryan period, changed during the Maurya Dynasty, and was finally established in the later Gupta Dynasty and King Jieri period. You just mentioned the four major castes. In fact, in India, in the In addition to these four castes, there is another caste - Dalit, which means 'untouchables', and in layman's terms is 'untouchables'."

"These people are considered to be creatures abandoned by the gods. I said 'creatures', not 'human beings'. In the eyes of high-caste Indians, they are not considered 'human beings' at all. Even contact with these people will be severely punished." I have seen a case where a woman of a high caste was stripped naked in public for giving a glass of water to an 'untouchable', dragged into a river to bathe, and dragged into a temple to be whipped until Beat this woman until she is dying."

"These untouchables can't participate in social life like the people of the high caste. The people of the high caste have made a set of special rules for them to reflect their humbleness. One of them is that they can't wear shoes."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "You mean, these people are all untouchables?"

Zhang Han nodded and said: "I haven't asked in detail, but I think so."

Lin Yuan asked: "Since they are all untouchables, why did that man still kick her? Why can't she walk in front of that man?"

Zhang Han said: "This is also related to the caste system. In the Aryan era, India had only four major castes and untouchables. In the Maurya Dynasty, the Maurya Dynasty was an era in Indian history, roughly equivalent to the Warring States period in China. Late."

"During the Mauryan Dynasty, the caste was further subdivided, and many sub-castes were separated. Some of these sub-castes were distinguished by occupation, and some were distinguished by the place of residence. In the period of the King of Harassment, this period of the King of Harassment was equivalent to that of the heyday. During the Tang Dynasty, the subdivision of caste was fixed until this era."

"There are sub-castes of different levels within each caste, and the same is true for those who cannot be contacted. Some are of high caste, and some are of low caste. There are so many of these castes that even scholars in India cannot figure it out. People of high castes often Bullying people of low caste and gaining a sense of superiority from it, how cruel is this kind of bullying, people of high caste can get the body of a woman of low caste with a handful of rice!"

"The man who kicked her was probably a member of the upper caste of the Untouchables. He was angry when he saw her walking in front of him as a member of the lower caste, so he kicked her."

Lin Yuan then asked: "But after she was kicked, she apologized to that man and asked me not to blame him. What does that mean?"

Zhang Han said: "This will involve Indian religion. Indians generally believe in Hinduism. We Chinese are influenced by the Buddhist scriptures in "Journey to the West" and think that Indians believe in Buddhism. In fact, it is wrong. Indian Buddhism is popular in China. The Song and Yuan Dynasties declined and were completely replaced by Hinduism."

"The core of Hinduism is two - 'karma' and 'samsara', 'karma' is everything a person does, 'samsara' is reincarnation, simply speaking, suffering in this life will bring blessings in the next life, so low People of the caste enjoy it, and think that tolerance in this life can bring happiness in the next life. So this Paglish apologized after being kicked by that man, and please don't blame him."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "So that's the case, I really didn't expect it."

Zhang Han laughed and said: "Of course, India is like this in this era, and it is also like this in our era. They all look like this and dare to grab territory with us, and dare to support the independence of the Western Plateau Province. By the way, I I just mentioned the history of the Raja Raja period, and the Indians themselves have no written records at all."

"In our era, scholars all over the world want to know the history of that era in India, and they only look at Chinese historical materials, such as "The Great Tang Western Regions" written by Tang Xuanzang, which is regarded as a treasure by Indian historians all over the world. His famous "Buddhist Kingdom" has also been widely translated."

"In many periods of Indian history, only the Chinese have records. If there is no "Book of the Later Han? Western Regions", Indians would not know that there was a Guishuang Dynasty in their history. If Song Yun, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, did not go to India, India would People don't know that they have been invaded by a Huns!"

"Let's put it this way, without us Chinese, Indians don't even know their own history!"
