Not long ago, India's Rajasthan, Bihar and other 6 relatively poor administrative regions, suddenly broke out large-scale violence, in the face of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves thrown at themselves, Indian law enforcement personnel had no choice but to use tear gas and other weapons to carry out "education" on these people.
However, just when the outside world thought that this incident was written by a certain Indian separatist force, a media report cast a mysterious color on the incident.
It turns out that those involved in the violence are basically "para-military" people who are about to enter the military, and the reason why they took to the streets is because more than a month ago, the Indian military introduced a bill to restrict soldiers, and one of the most confusing ones is that for every kilogram of excess weight, the military will deduct 20% of the soldier's salary.
It is reasonable to say that overweight soldiers are not allowed, although the Indian military is "radical", but these prospective soldiers will not take to the streets to demonstrate, and because of this, many Western media have entered the turbulent areas to report, but even after they learn the truth, they also understand the Indian military's approach to some extent.
Today, let's talk to you, why does the Indian army impose such a high tax on the problem of overweight? And which of the bills introduced this time is the source of anger for the prospective soldiers?
As we all know, the history of India can also be called a history of invasion, as early as thousands of years ago, some Aryans from the European region lost the war, will flee to India, interestingly, these losers who were beaten in Europe, after coming to India, found that the locals could not fight at all, just like this, they occupied the magpie's nest and began the road to hegemony, and after that, all the defeated troops in Europe or the Middle East will flee to India and carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on the locals.
Over time, the native Indians became the lowest-ranking race, in order to consolidate their rule, the Aryans also founded the "Hinduism", in today's point of view, Hinduism does not eat beef, because the productivity was backward at that time, and the rare beef had to be given to the rulers; And the religion preaches the idea of suffering in order to brainwash native Indians not to try to resist.
It is precisely for this reason that thousands of years later, as Hinduism has flourished, the Indian people have gradually become inferior people who have no intention of rebelling and have no power because of the caste system, and in the mid-19th century, the British who entered India through some operations can be said to have set up an insurmountable obstacle for Indians on the road of meritorious service.
Perhaps because of thousands of years of oppression, India also fought fiercely when it first met Britain. It has to be said that although the weapon system is not as advanced as the other side, it is the only chance after all, so in the process of resistance, the Indian army has also caused a lot of trouble to the British.
However, when the flesh and blood meet the cannon of the strong ship, no matter how strong the will will will, it will be destroyed with death, so india's resistance still failed. However, such incidents also opened the minds of the British, after all, they came to colonize, rather than sending a large number of armed forces to suppress, it is better to reshape the Indian army from the thinking and let them manage themselves.
Because of this, the caste system became a tool in the hands of the British colonists. Prior to this, the Indian tradition was that only the middle class had the right to join the army, and the lower classes had only been enslaved. In order to facilitate colonial rule, the British deliberately recruited some uneducated low-level people to join the army after eliminating the middle-class soldiers in India, and at the same time, they were also awarded a symbol of the middle caste.
This situation continued until the establishment of the State of India in 1947, in fact, even after the British withdrew from India, the Indian top level also inherited this habit, recruiting low-caste people in the recruitment of soldiers, not only that, but also depriving them of the right to education, at the same time, in the nearly hundred years of "rectification", the top level of the Indian army also formed a small circle, often the father's official position can be passed to the son through special means.
So far, the Indian army has formed a "deformed appearance" of soldiers composed of uneducated low-caste people, and high-caste people with certain education monopolizing official positions, which is why corruption cases in the Indian army are frequent, combat maneuvers collide with the ground, and ships are knocked out of large holes for no reason.
Of course, even if joining the army is so "dangerous", for the bottom people of India, joining the army is indeed the only way for them to honor their ancestors.
One of the reasons is that we just talked about, the lower caste people will enter the army, get a symbolic middle caste, although everyone knows what is going on, but it is better to say; On the other hand, because only by joining the army can these low-level people have enough to eat.
However, as recently as 2016, the Indian military had to introduce a series of bills because soldiers were "too full" to eat.
According to some reports, many soldiers obviously have enough to eat, but they also have the intention of taking advantage of the situation, and they have eaten the amount of several people, and in an interview, these soldiers are also frank, they said that joining the army is to eat enough food, as for what is the lofty ideal of participating in the war for the country, they do not know anything.
It is also because of the lack of ideological construction that these low-level soldiers are often very loose, often sneaking out of the barracks for the sake of appetite, going to the market near the garrison area to buy some local "junk food". Talking about this, some friends may have doubts, sneaking out of the garrison can be regarded as deserters, why don't Indian officers supervise it?
In fact, compared with the soldiers who eat endlessly, the situation of Indian officers eating Haysein is more serious, some officers even have their own personal cooks, plus they only have their own careers in their minds, and there is no concept of military discipline, so accompanied by a high-calorie, high-sugar diet, resulting in India, whether officers or soldiers, before joining the army, are very "slim", just a few years later, they are full of fat scene.
However, in the face of such a situation, the Indian top level is still very disgusted, after all, the obesity rate of up to 40%, whether it is the overall image of India, or the impact on combat effectiveness is very bad, and because of this, the military will introduce a bill in 2016, but if you are overweight 1 kilogram, you will deduct 15% of the salary.
However, this bill was resisted when it was introduced, when many officers and soldiers claimed that the high-level people were doing this in order to deduct their "food expenses", and at the same time, their stomachs were not full, so who had the strength to fight?
In this way, the two sides prevaricated for a full 3 years, until 2019, the proposal, known as the "fat fine", became the "fuse" between the Indian military and the prospective soldiers.
It turned out that in the bill promulgated this time, the military not only increased the fat fine to 20%, but also put forward the proposal that once there was a sneaking out of the barracks and eating the sea plug, it would strongly classify the soldiers into the "elimination zone".
"Elimination zone" is the new concept proposed by the Indian army, before that, the service time of Indian soldiers was as long as 17 years, which is undoubtedly the iron rice bowl of the small half of life in the eyes of the low-level people, and this is the reason why even if the mortality rate is extremely high, Indian youth are still very keen to join the army.
However, after having nearly 1.3 million lazy grassroots soldiers, the Indian top brass suddenly realized that the 17-year service period still exists, but a phase-out zone will be set up when the soldiers serve until the fourth year, at which time, 75% of the people will come and go.
You know, Indian soldiers joined the army to mix up their lives, just to get 20,000 rupees, which translates to almost 1600 yuan salary, but now, they may not only be overweight 5 kilograms, they will be deducted all their salaries, but also need to train hard to keep the opportunity to eat 17 years of white rice, no wonder the prospective soldiers who have just passed the physical examination will erupt into such dissatisfaction.
It has to be said that from the grass-roots soldiers to the middle-level officers, and even the overall thinking of the Indian army, it is still stuck in history, and it is precisely because of this that although the top level has proposed a modern and more rational bill, it will still encounter many difficulties.
