This part of India calls itself Chinese: refuses to marry India, does not learn Hindu, but does not learn Indian festivals

author:Yan Ling【Special Topic】

There are many countries in the world, each with its own unique culture and traditional customs. We all know that after the 70s of the last century, the mainland has identified 56 ethnic groups, in fact, there are still many ethnic minorities that have not been established and recognized, and among these ethnic groups, whether they are Han or ethnic minorities, they are collectively called the Chinese nation. In fact, people in some areas of other countries maintain traditional Chinese culture and customs, they learn Chinese, and use Chinese characters. In the past, China went through a dark period, which is well known to everyone. During that time, China lost a lot of wealth and a lot of territory, maybe with the growing power of the mainland, and then through the efforts of the mainland, some territories returned to the embrace of the motherland, but some areas were not able to be successfully recovered, and some areas have the same way of life as China, because some areas have not been recovered.

However, there is a region abroad where people who live here claim to be Chinese, and although they are not in China's territory, they identify themselves as the Chinese nation. What's going on here? Where are they located? Most of these people live in northern India, and the place we come into contact with is called Manipur. Most of the people who live here learn Chinese, and even the characters they write are Chinese characters. In addition to this, the people here refuse to use the Indian language, refuse to celebrate Indian festivals, and even refuse to marry Indians. So what's going on here? Why do they use Chinese characters to learn Chinese? Let's take a closer look.

Manipur in northern India

For example, some people who know more about international politics should know that there is a country in Africa called Liberia, and the flag of this country is very similar to the flag of the United States. The reason for the similarity of the flags of the two countries is mainly due to historical reasons. For example, in Liberia, most of the systems are copied from the United States, so the flag they use is very similar to that of the United States, so it is not surprising. In fact, it is not only the United States that has such a country, but also the mainland has such imitators. This imitator is Manipur in northern India, and the national flag they say is similar to China's return flag, the national flag of the mainland is called the five-star red flag, and their national flag is called the six-star red flag, mainly because it has one more star than the mainland, so it is called the six-star red flag.

Except for a slight difference in quantity, in other respects, it is the same as the mainland, and if you don't distinguish carefully, it is difficult to distinguish between China's five-star red flag and their national flag. India is a multi-ethnic region, and if it weren't for the arrival of the British to unify India, India would still be in a state of separation. You must know that India was a state of separation before, no matter in which aspect, they all retained their own language and customs, and even some ethnic groups would not please look at each other, and what was even more unexpected was that even in this state of Manipur, which is very similar to the Chinese flag, there are more than 10 ethnic groups who have rescued them. Among them, there are three ethnic groups who want to join China, and the one who shows the most fanatical is the Kuki.

Why do the Kukis want to join China?

This brings us to a long time ago. Due to the fact that it was ruled by the British at that time, and the mainland had a certain amount of power in Central Asia, at that time, these areas were not explicitly regarded as mainland territory by the Qing Dynasty, and finally the arrival of the British also made it under the name of the Viceroy of India. You must know that at that time, the Qing government was unable to protect itself, and it definitely did not have extra time and energy to manage people far away in Central Asia, so these people were planned in India and became Indians. It's because they have such a history that they want to join China and become a part of China. They didn't just think about it, they did it. So what did they do at the time?

Refusing to marry India, not speaking Hindi is just an Indian festival

The Kuki are very different from other races in India. They have a strong sense of identity with the national culture, and the people here will only use education to preserve and carry forward their national culture, and the people of this race do not speak Hindi, but they do not marry and have children with Indians during Indian festivals. When it comes to national culture, this is certainly inseparable from language, if the ethnic minorities in the mainland have also invested a lot of money and manpower to protect their language, and even some ethnic groups only have language, not writing.

For this reason, the mainland has long tried to convert their language into written language, so as to preserve it. The Kuki people use a Tibeto-Burman language, which has been written and is why it has been able to circulate for so long, and it is estimated that the group is now using this language, both in textbooks and in class, which also avoids the invasion of Indian culture, especially British culture.

In terms of culture, they also prohibit cultural works related to India, especially films and books, and they are not allowed to enter the local villages. It is estimated that we have been aware of this problem for a long time, and it is only in recent years that the mainland has gradually realized that it is necessary to strengthen its work in the field of culture. It's just that their behavior has been suppressed by the Indians, and in it, they will think of various ways to oppress them.

It's just that to their surprise, the Kuki people, who have been suppressed by the Indian government, have not given up and are still in that situation. At the time, this method did not work, so the Indian government used economic means to crush the weak resistance, but they did not succeed, and the girls of the Kuki still refused to marry Indian men, and the men refused to marry Indians.

epilogue

It is precisely because of this that the estimation group maintains a relatively independent state, although their life is very difficult, they have been living in the mountains, and it is certainly impossible to count on the Indians to help them build roads and houses, so they have been living like this all the time. Although during that time, the estimation group has been suppressed by the Indian government, but they still persisted, did not choose to give up, and still wanted to join China. In fact, the mainland has lost a lot of territory in modern history, and I hope that those who have not returned to the embrace of the motherland before will indeed be successfully recovered, and I hope that the mainland will become more prosperous and powerful in the future. I don't know what everyone thinks about this.
