Chapter 294: The third brother who is confused
It is not unreasonable to talk about the Vaishyas, Shudra and Dalits who are unwilling to be recruited as laborers and resist. After all, they are all counting on a good birth in the next life.
If you want to understand the various bullshit problems in India, you have to start with the origin of the caste system.
Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and a Dalit, these five seemingly unrelated words together form a kind of most typical, most severe and cover religion during the feudal period.
Hierarchy systems in many aspects such as politics, military, economy, people's livelihood, and culture.
In fact, the caste system is not unique to India. It has been common in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and other countries, but India is the most severely affected.
The formation of the caste system was mainly due to the migration of part of the Caucasian Aryans into India. After centuries of military expansion, it was urgently needed to consolidate the hierarchy with "cultural attributes" to
The rule of the indigenous peoples of India.
The oldest collection of poems in India, "Rigveda", appeared, and in its Volume 10, Song 90, it clearly proposed the prototype of the Indian caste system, "The Song of the Original Man".
In the cultural system of India, the "original man" represents actually similar to the "Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth" in my country's myths and legends. All the concepts of Indian gods, as well as time and space are born on it, and The writing time of Rigveda can be roughly dated to about 1,000 BC. Then in the fourth century BC, the earliest oral version of the Indian epic "Mahabharata" had also appeared.
In this Indian epic, the "caste system" has actually grown into a mature hierarchy based on "bloodline theory", which means that there has been a clear hierarchy division.
Among these five levels, the Brahmin, composed of the sacrificial group among the Aryans, represents the mouth of the "original man" in the "original man song".
Some people may be confused about why it is the mouth, not the eyes or ears, and there is nothing else, because these parts on the head already have their own masters. Take the eyes as an example, which represents the "sun".
Indirectly, it means that the Brahmin is actually an existence at the same level as the "Sun". Its status can be imagined. Then the next level is the "Khartis", which is composed of military nobles and administrative nobles among the Aryans.
It represents the original man's arms. It is obvious that he no longer has the qualification to settle down on the original man's head.
However, the power of Khadi, which is one level lower than that of the Brahmin, has enough political power to impose taxes on the Vaisya, Shudra, and Dalit classes in the form of a regime. What it takes is the world
Guarding the peace of Brahmins for generations.
As for the Vaisya, it is composed of ordinary Aryans, representing the legs of the original man. It is positioned in the Indian social class that it has no political power, but can do business, and then uses the income from business to worship Brahmins and Kshatriya.
Among the two remaining classes, the "Shudra" is composed of conquered indigenous people, with the largest number of people, representing the feet of the original people, and they cannot go into politics or business, and can only be the front for generations.
Three levels of service.
Dalit, the existence called inaccessible, is even worse. In the cultural system of India, it is simply excluded from the body of the original human being. It has no power, and it will not even be treated as a person.
, and therefore it is called the "untouchable" class.
In such a hierarchy, there are actually only the first three classes that can have real power, and although the number of people in the latter two classes is far beyond the first three, there is almost no actual power.
According to common sense, such a hierarchy obviously cannot exist for a long time.
After all, the reason why people are called human is mainly because people will take the initiative to think. After long-term oppression, a deformed system of caste system that seriously violates common sense will inevitably develop a sense of resistance because most people are unwilling to be oppressed.
To put it bluntly, it is the intensification of class contradictions.
Take the Shudra class as an example. In the context of the basic service industries such as living and living in the first three classes for generations, such as house construction, all they can get is only a few survival resources, so that
This has greatly widened the gap between the rich and the poor in the Indian social system, and most of the wealth is controlled by a few people, namely the three social classes of Brahmin, Kshatriya, and Vaishya.
Obviously, there is no need for such a caste system that violates human rights thinking, widens the gap between the rich and the poor, and then intensifies class contradictions.
However, what is more magical is that the "caste system" of India has been like this for thousands of years. During this period, even if it has experienced religious reforms or invasions of foreign civilizations, it is like the "four surnames equality" of Buddhism and the British to India.
However, the "caste system" remained unmoved, as if it had not been affected at all.
Let’s talk about the “equality of the four surnames” in Buddhism. The so-called equality of the four surnames actually refers to Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras who are actually equal.
In essence, Buddhism, which appeared around 565 BC, actually resisted the "caste system", and appeared even more than a hundred years earlier than the epic of the Indian Dynasty, Mahabharata.
Later in 273 BC, after King Ashoka became the third king of the Mauryan Dynasty, he became a loyal Buddhist and was also named the Buddhist guardian of the Dharma.
However, the caste system did not decline more and more, but was strengthened.
Because King Ashoka attached great importance to religion during his late reign, and it was not just Buddhism, but pursued political tolerance and non-violence, that is, multiple religions can coexist at the same time, then the "equality of the four surnames" of Buddhism will inevitably follow "
The caste system formed an obvious hedge, and Ashoka wanted to coordinate multiple religions, that is, to eliminate these conflicts. So what should we do?
The "Reincarnation Theory" was born and became one of the common doctrines of many religions such as India Buddhism, Vedicism, and India.
If it is applied to the Indian caste system, it probably means that it doesn’t matter if it is a low caste in this life, because the low caste has committed evil in the previous life, so you have to practice through life experiences and deal with people, that is, atone for sins, and then you can continue in the next life.
Reincarnated into a high caste.
This has led to the agreement between the "four castes equality" and the "caste system" in terms of development. After all, no matter what, even the high castes may become a low caste in the next life due to sin.
However, in this way, although the differences between "castes" are equal at the metaphysical level, the differences between high castes and low castes have also been further widened.
Therefore, in order to prevent some people from trying every means to break through the boundaries of "high and low castes" in their lifetime, the Brahmin class formulated a "Monu Code" and proposed a system called "Jathi System", which is a kind of way that can transfer all classes.
The professions that are engaged in are solidified in the form of law, thus causing the castes of India to begin to self-enclose, especially among the upper castes.
The emergence of this system has directly led to the way that could have been promoted to the "caste" attribute through mutual circulation to become more single. When men in the family can only inherit their father's caste, how can they complete caste promotion?
There is nothing else, only women's marriage, that is, the overall caste attribute of the family is indirectly improved through the female marriage partner in the family.
However, under the influence of the "Monu Code", women of high caste in India cannot marry men of low caste, so they can only achieve promotion of caste attributes by marrying women of low caste.
But this is not easy. Not only does the woman's family need to pay a high dowry, it is also possible to face boycotts or even murders from other members of the man's family. Because in this way, although it seems that the woman's family has paid the most, it is actually the woman's family.
But it will become the final beneficiary, while the male family will affect the social status of their own castes in the social circles of the same class by accepting low castes.
The series of "demand and burning a wife" incidents in Tianzhu, which are the cases of "family murder", came about.
Many people may also think that it can be achieved through meritorious service. The question is what can Shudra who have no political power or even business power use to make meritorious service?
The most important thing is that the policy of coexistence of multiple religions proposed by Ashoka also became the practice of the later Indian monarchs. The subsequent series of "reincarnation theory" or "Monu Code" based on this policy are also
Therefore, it can be retained for a long time and affects every Indian.
After clarifying the Indian caste system, all the problems later became easy to understand, and even from the perspective of caste, everything became natural.
For example, the England East India Company must be considered an outside invader, right?
However, the Indians do not hate the English East India Company, nor do they hate the English, because the English East India Company had never thought of changing the caste system. They even wanted their three brothers to carry forward the caste system, because the East India Company came to the Indians to run for the
Those who come with money and minerals do not come all the way to bring warmth to the three brothers.
In fact, the colonization method adopted by the East India Company for India was based on the Indian caste system, thus using the sharp class contradictions in India to realize the colonization plan for the Third Brother to defeat the Third Brother.
Otherwise, no matter how far India was behind at that time, it would not be possible that the East India Company's mercenaries could easily defeat it in a short time and establish strongholds in multiple regions such as Madras, Kolkata and Mumbai.
Similarly, it is understandable that they are crazy about being recruited as laborers now.
The problem is that if you resist, you must at least look like you resist?
For example, after the Ming Dynasty became cold, the people in the world had thought of being obedient and obedient, but the guy Gou Chengzi was not a human being, and Wu Sangui was not a human being. Later, Wu Sangui was captured by Jiangui and Chen in the pass.
What if you don’t act like a human being?
Of course it is resistance.
The people in the Central Plains Hall were unable to scare the people in the Central Plains Hall for ten days, and the three slaughtered places were unable to scare the people in the Central Plains Hall for ten days. The people in the Central Plains Hall were slaughtered to the point where only five living people were left, but they still couldn't scare them.
The people at the entrance of Zhongyuan Hall.
Although the Jianlu Hu Chief finally successfully sat on the dragon throne, he could almost see a clue from Mazi's words "Don't be misunderstood, what the Han learned."
For nearly three hundred years, there are many people who want to raise an army to kill Jianlu, from Zheng Chenggong, the positive national hero, to Wu Sangui, the traitor who led Jianlu into the pass, from Bai Lianjian to Yihequan.
However, the brain circuits of the three Indian brothers are different from those of the Zhongyuan Hall after all.
The so-called resistance of the three brothers is not to vigorously fight against the British East China Company and the Netherlands East China Company, but to surround the Human Resources Office and sit quietly, showing off your face if you don't.
We have been sitting down like this when we stop recruiting.
This magical operation directly confused the entire British East Tianzhu Company and the Netherlands East Tianzhu Company.
The human resources of the British East Tianzhu Company were better. After all, they were ordered by George III and worked in Tianzhu for many years. They could understand the operations of the three brothers.
But the human resources of the Dutch East Tianzhu Company are not good.
In my own way, the Netherlands has been killed by France, and the Dutch East Tianzhu Company is almost unable to hold on. In order to restore the country, William I even handed over Batavia to the Ming Dynasty.
Now that I finally had the opportunity to restore the country, Louis XVI even commissioned the Dutch East Tianzhu Company to come to Tianzhu to help the Ming Dynasty recruit workers. This clearly gave the Dutch East Tianzhu Company an opportunity to please the Ming Dynasty.
The result was so good that the three brothers were unwilling to cooperate!
Then, Overstraten, the leader of the Dutch East Tianzhu Company, would have gone crazy at that time. If he had messed up the recruitment of labor, it would be hard to say what would happen to the Ming Dynasty. William I, the Dutch king, was
They will not let Dongtianzhu Company go, and the seventeen gentlemen of Dongtianzhu Company will never let themselves go before they are unlucky!
Therefore, even for the sake of his own interests, Overstratten could not allow these diapers to sit still like this.
For Overstratten, since these diapers cannot tolerate continuing to sit down like this, the only way is to recruit all these diapers as laborers.
Overstratten thought that I couldn't afford to provoke the Ming Dynasty or France, but I, O, was the leader of the Dutch East Tianzhu company. I can't cure you diapers?
Overstratten thought so and did the same.
After receiving the order from Overstratten, the maids under the Dutch East Tianzhu Company captured and attacked the diapers sitting quietly in front of the labor recruitment office without hesitation.
