When it comes to India, it is always inseparable from the word "strange", drinking cow urine, Ganges water, in order to prevent the new crown, coating cow dung all over the body and so on.
Looking at every strange phenomenon in India, almost all of them are related to faith.
India is known as the "religious museum", not only many religions, there are tens of thousands of "gods", but anything you can imagine, in India may be named "god".
What is even more surprising is that many animals are also worshipped as gods, and the locals not only do not have to treat animals with a condescending attitude, but even have to respect them.
Cows can roam the streets freely, wild boars are enshrined high in temples, and even rats that everyone shouts and beats have their own temples.
Monkeys are even more rampant, bullying vendors on weekdays, harassing crowds are commonplace, and even often make homicides, but it is still worshipped as a "god".
Monkeys have a very high status in India, not only claiming to be kings and hegemons, but also all ancestors, and they do not pay attention to humans at all.
These monkeys roam the city at will, and if they want to eat, they can go to a store and get it, which is more willful than people. Destroy crops, bite off power lines, kill people and rob people, etc., they are almost all evil.
In India, alcoholism is not a "patent" of humans, and many animals are also "drunkards", and monkeys are one of them.
Just this July, a video of an Indian monkey drinking alcohol went viral.
In the video, a mischievous monkey sits alone on a liquor counter, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, expertly opening the cap with his teeth, and then drinking heavily with his hands and feet.
The shopkeeper tried to attract the monkey's attention with a biscuit, but the monkey's two eyes never left the bottle from beginning to end, and he happily licked the wine on his paws after drinking.
After the video was broadcast, it made netizens laugh happily, and they left messages saying that this monkey was simply a sperm.
However, in addition to being funny, it is very worrying, people are drunk and will inevitably run into trouble, let alone monkeys?
Indeed, netizens' concerns are not exaggerated at all, and similar incidents have occurred before.
In June 2020, according to the Daily Mail, in the case of a sudden drunken monkey in Uttar Pradesh, India, more than 250 people were attacked and one of them died, as well as disfigurement.
The monkey's name is Kalua, and because its owner loves to drink, he likes to feed the monkey wine and eat meat on weekdays. Over time, the monkey developed a drinking addiction.
Later, when the owner died, the monkey could not drink alcohol, began to become grumpy, often rampaged through the streets, and rushed up to bite when he saw pedestrians, eventually leading to tragedy.
Later, the monkey was kept in a zoo, and the animal keeper replaced meat with a vegetarian diet, hoping to change its vices.
However, now that a year has passed, the monkey is still aggressive, especially for female administrators. If it is released, it will definitely hurt people again, and it can only be "permanently imprisoned".
In addition to drinking, vicious injuries to monkeys are also common in India.
In October 2021, a shocking "monkey murder" occurred on the streets of India.
At that time, an Indian man named Mohammed Kurban was buying a material package when he was suddenly killed with a brick by a monkey, who had not acted excessively with the monkey before that.
Bricks were placed on top of the tank to prevent monkeys from opening the tank.
In the afternoon, a group of monkeys removed the bricks, one of which was thrown on a nearby balcony, and the other of which was thrown casually, and coincidentally hit a passing Kurban.
But in fact, such a vicious incident is not a special case.
In September this year, the wife of a ruling party leader in India was inexplicably attacked by a group of monkeys on the balcony of her home, and in the process of dodging, she accidentally fell from the upper floor.
Although she was sent to the hospital for rescue at the first time, she died because of her injuries.
In India, the monkey is so rampant that even if you don't provoke it, you will be attacked by it.
In September 2020, a family in India was hit by a flying disaster. At that time, because the ceiling fan in the house was broken, the hostess took 4 children to cool off in the yard, but was unexpectedly smashed to death by the courtyard wall that suddenly fell, and the culprit was a group of monkeys.
In March 2019, a 60-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man were also attacked by monkeys in two villages not far apart, and eventually died.
In November 2018, a 15-year-old girl was attacked to death by a swarm of monkeys. In December of the same year, a 23-year-old woman was harassed by a group of monkeys while cooking on a stove, which caused a fire and the woman died.
According to statistics, there are more than 1,000 reports of monkey bites every day in India, including injuries to death. Such a phenomenon is not uncommon, and it makes people shudder.
In addition to killing, monkeys also rob children.
In March 2020, a monkey "kidnapped" a 2-year-old boy from a village in India and forced the child to be its playmate.
The monkey carefully carried the boy from the room to the side of the road, and then, like a little adult, would touch his head and hug him, and his eyes were full of love.
When the boy's mother approached the monkey and tried to take the child away, the monkey held the boy tightly in his arms and refused to let go.
In India, monkeys rob children from time to time, and it is fortunate that children are not harmed, but many times, monkeys will lose their hands or deliberately kill children.
In 2019, a baby girl was lying in bed drinking milk. Who expected that the monkey looked at the bottle in the baby girl's hand and suddenly climbed into the house to compete with the baby girl.
The adults heard the sound and hurried to rush to try to drive the monkey away. In the rush, the baby girl was dragged to the ground and fell, and unfortunately died.
In November 2018, a monkey broke into a villager's home and snatched a baby from its mother, who was only 12 days old, and when the baby was found, it was covered in blood and had no breath.
These events sound absurd, but they are really happening in India.
In addition to the above evil deeds, monkeys will also rob.
Those lawless monkeys, walking on the street every day, see people have food in their hands, no matter whether it is three or seven or twenty-one, rush up and grab it, and many tourists have been attacked.
They will also come to the residents' homes, see what is good to eat, and take it directly.
There are even some monkeys who steal money, even if they don't spend it.
Once, a female tourist named Sonkar was snatched from her wallet by a monkey, which contained 3 bundles of 500 rupee bills, totaling 150,000 rupees (about 13,000 yuan).
Sonkar and her husband tried to lure the monkeys with food to return their wallets, but to no avail. After the "robbery", the monkey sat on the roof and opened his wallet and waved a whole bundle of banknotes.
Then, it opened the tied banknotes and began to scatter money, and the banknotes that floated down from above immediately attracted the people on the side, and everyone began to scramble wildly.
What is even more surprising is that there are also monkeys who are specially trained to come out and rob and steal.
During the pandemic last year, a group of monkeys also stole blood test samples from people infected with the new crown virus, almost making a big mistake.
Little monkeys are so lawless, is there really no way to clean them up?
Indeed, under the influence of cultural beliefs, even if they are threatened and harmed by monkeys, people will continue to feed these animals.
This is all because the Indians are very fond of the monkey god "Hanuman".
In Indian legend, the sacred monkey "Hanuman" is brave and warlike, and has great powers, and once helped Prince Rama (the embodiment of the gods) defeat strong enemies and protect the Indian people.
Therefore, the people of India have always regarded it as the embodiment of justice and worship it as a hero of the nation.
It is an exaggeration to say that the people of India believe that all monkeys are incarnations of Hanuman and therefore respect them.
Therefore, even if the monkeys are rampant, they will still adopt a spoiled and respectful attitude.
However, in the face of the monkeys' actions, the local governments did not condone it, and in order to drive the monkeys away, they were also full of tricks.
The New Delhi government once hired 40 young security guards and dressed them up as langurs, the natural enemies of macaques.
The young men had to blacken their faces, put on their hoods, imitate the monkeys' cries, and drive the monkeys back into the woods.
The security guards were placed around government offices, patrolling around and "deporting" the monkeys when they saw them.
However, this trick was quickly recognized by the clever monkeys, who returned to the city again and became more brazen.
In order to prevent monkeys from attacking local equipment, they disguised themselves as brown bears and successfully scared the monkeys away, which is said to have a good effect.
Of course, although some tricks are effective, they are expensive, and some Indian parliamentarians believe that this move is a waste of resources.
Since people can't catch monkeys, use monkeys to chase monkeys.
After that, they trained a large number of ferocious "South Asian long-tailed monkeys" to drive away the "Ganges short-tailed monkeys", but with little success.
Small cities in northern India try to sterilize monkeys, but the number of monkeys in India is too large, not to mention the huge cost, how to catch them one by one for surgery is a big problem.
To this day, India has not found a solution to the "man-monkey contradiction".
And India's conservative policy will only encourage the arrogance of the monkey group, the law of the jungle applies everywhere, if you indulge its development, the monkey will only become more and more rampant, who is the future owner of India, it is worth pondering.
We respect religious beliefs, but we must not indulge the "evil deeds" of monkeys.
When the so-called religious belief threatens the safety of life, we should also think about it: Is life important or faith important? Text/Little Happiness
