At this moment, let go of the things you don't want to care about when you're unhappy, and enjoy your happy time
A foreign netizen, he raised such a question on Quora, the largest Q&A website abroad: "Why do many Indians often think they are better than Chinese?" In fact, this question is also a common thing, the characteristics of the Indian people are to create all kinds of troubles in the eyes of the world's people, in the face of this question, netizens from various countries also gave different answers:
"It's called swollen head syndrome, in other words, sheer arrogance, as if many Indians have this disease", "The average Indian has a method of spiritual victory, the method of spiritual victory", "The inferiority complex is disguised as a superiority complex, which is the case for 90% of Indians", "The vast majority of Indians are illiterate, stupid and well-informed".
Seeing these answers is really impressed in the contemporary netizen literature, in fact, speaking of India, I think the impression to Chinese must be "India A San", there are many sayings about this title, the most outrageous of which is that Indians feel that their country should be in the third position in the world, so they simply began to call it "A San".
The enigmatic self-confidence of Indians can also be regarded as bringing characteristics to their own country, and mentioning India can always make people think about it, but why do Indians always think that they are better than the Chinese, is it because of the caste system of the Indian country or the gap between the rich and the poor that they are confident enough to be comparable to China?
In fact, India is a magical country, here, you can often see people wearing gold and silver, spending money, living in high-rise buildings, living a life of drunken dreams every day, and those who don't know think that wearing gold is the characteristic of the Indian people.
But in fact, in inverse proportion to this phenomenon, it is the poor in India, the poor in India, the daily life is also as difficult as a straitjacket for them, and it is common for people in poor areas to have no food to eat, and even lack of clothing.
In the living quarters of India's wealthy and even people own private yachts and all kinds of luxury sports cars, but about five minutes away from this rich area, there is the largest slum in Asia, the Ladakh Poor District.
If you ever look at this slum, you will think that hell on earth is nothing more than that, most of the people who live here use asbestos tiles as roofs, and when it rains or other bad weather, people use tools such as tree bark to protect against the rain.
In the areas where people live, there is garbage everywhere that can be seen, and even the most basic drinking water problem has become an unsolvable problem. The usual source of water may be the muddy ditch water at the door, and in the 21st century, the people here also have the problem of water and electricity.
A house with only a few dozen square meters or a dozen square meters is a living place for a family, and these houses without even windows make people feel that they will be moved to the ground as soon as the wind blows. Not to mention the people who live here, it is clear from the eyes of the people that they are desperate for life.
In this way, the two places separated by a wall vividly express the polarized living standards in India, and this wall alone has become a horizontal ditch that the people in those poor areas cannot cross.
The ultimate cause of India's wealth problems is still attributed to the country's caste system, in which there are four classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, kennels, and Shudras.
Brahmin can be imagined to be a very high caste class in India, the people who exist in this class mainly control religious issues, Kshatriya can rule the country, the source of India's rich people also comes from these two caste classes, the rest of the kennels, although the status is not high, but can be engaged in some business activities, personal assets are relatively rich.
Finally, there are the Shudras, a caste class that not only has their jobs restricted, but even their own children are socially outcast, even if the children of this class are well-read and want to use their culture to change their family life, it is nonsense.
There is a saying in India that "people live in sewers", which is also true, because people with low caste ranks can only work in the work of repairing sewers, but in fact, this work alone is not enough to feed a family, even if it is so hard, they do not deserve the right to choose, according to statistics, more than 400 people die in India every year in cleaning sewers.
Even though the people's lives have reached a point of polarization, the Indian state and government are indifferent, and the caste system has been deeply embedded in the Indian people's thinking for more than 3,000 years.
When the people are intoxicated with this scale of lifestyle, no one will easily change themselves, for example, the highest-ranking Brahmins will still look down on the Kshatriyas, who can run the country, and the Shudras, who are also from the lower class, will also look down on the Dalits who are regarded as "untouchables".
It is not so much that the people of India have a serious problem of wealth and poverty, and that the world behind the wall has become a dream place for people in the slums, but that the people there have succumbed to or even become accustomed to this unfair way of life, and the people here will face the existence of a lower level than themselves with a state of contempt, which may be the real reason why even the state is too lazy to take care of it.
Now think about why Indians always feel that they are higher than the Chinese, perhaps because they feel that China also has the same caste system as them, everyone looks at the people around them with a secular eye, and people who think that they have a high caste level can point fingers at others at will, which is also the spiritual characteristic of the Indian people.
On the other hand, China has long forgotten the incorrect ideas passed down from ancient times, and there is no gap between the rich and the poor in today's China, even if there are people at the bottom, they will not be treated differently, and everyone is born equal.
Under the leadership of the state, it has formulated relevant policies for targeted poverty alleviation, starting from improving people's lives to promote national economic development, which is what a country should do, not to be ruled by those feudal ancient ideas and let the people of their country be devastated.
Many Chinese netizens who saw this question also expressed their opinions: "I hope that Indians will always maintain such a sense of superiority", "Dream your own dreams and never wake up", "We don't want to destroy their self-confidence, we only hope that they will sink in this self-confidence".
Many words are either sarcastic or sincere, and in the face of such problems of the Indian people, Chinese have long been familiar with it, and the self-confidence of "Ah San" is often unmatched, and I hope that they can maintain this self-confidence and continue to move forward.
