India is our neighbor and the second most populous country to ours. In 2020, India's GDP has entered the ranks of the world's top ten, but most people still have the impression of India: Ganges water, ignorance, street snacks and so on. This perception may be a bit of an error, but that's pretty much how life lives for the people at the bottom of India. Despite the economic development, Indian society is still in a state of extreme backwardness.
In addition to the cognition of social habits, I believe that many people have noticed such a phenomenon: most of the Indians we see in the news are black-skinned, while the Indians in Indian movies are mostly white-skinned. As an Asian country, there is no yellow skin in Asia at all, and I finally know the reason after consulting a lot of information.
India is a country with a multi-skin color population that encompasses almost all the skin tones in the world. These have a lot to do with the history of India, which has suffered many invasions, and the result of many invasions is forced to intermingle, which is why the color of the whole country is so chaotic. At the same time, India's skin color problem is not only a color problem, to a certain extent, it also reflects many social problems in India.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the composition of the Indian race</h1>
As an Asian country, India was mostly yellow at first. The Negritos, who lived in Southeast Asia, then set foot on the continent, characterized by dark skin and short stature. After years of fusion, the skin color of Indians gradually changed from yellow to brown. And as a South Asian country, India's climate is dominated by a subtropical monsoon climate, and the brown complexion is more suitable for survival in this climate. The brown-black Indians are truly primitive Indians, which is the evolutionary choice of the species.
India has been weak since ancient times, so it has suffered many invasions in history. Around the second millennium BC, the Aryans traveled thousands of kilometers from Europe to South Asia to invade India, after which India entered the era of Aryan rule. The Aryans are the ancestors of the white people, and there will naturally be a certain degree of integration after ruling India, and many Indians are the descendants of the Aryans. Before the 19th century, India was proud to be a descendant of the Aryans.
In the thousands of years that followed, India was invaded by Mongols and Turks. After the Mongol invasion unified India, it was quickly assimilated because there were not many Mongols. By this point, the composition of the Indian race had been fused into three or four different bloodlines.
Until the 17th century, this country in the middle of the Eurasian route was targeted by the British. With great national power, Britain soon opened the door to India, and after nearly a hundred years of tug-of-war, Britain took full control of India. India was once again ruled by whites and became the back garden of the British, and a large amount of wealth and resources were seized by the British. At the same time, the Occupation of the British once again added a fire to the fusion of Indian descent.
Although Aryans have existed in India for thousands of years, aryans consider themselves to be of noble blood and have never bothered to merge with Indians. The British, on the other hand, took the initiative to intermarry with Indians in order to gain the support of the Indian nobility in order to speed up the pace of their rule in India. The British ruled India for nearly two hundred years and had a considerable impact on India.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > the social status of whites in India</h1>
In general, whites have a high social status in India. This situation was established during the reign of the Aryans, when the Aryans established a caste system to better maintain their rule in India. Through the stratification of society, the bottom Indians lose their determination and ability to resist. For thousands of years afterwards, the caste system has been influencing Indians, knowing that there is still a huge gap between high and low castes, and that lower castes cannot intermarry with high castes.
White Indians were the biggest beneficiaries of the caste system, as whites were usually at the top of the Brahmin and Kshatriya classes. Even the later Mongol and Turkic invasions did not change this phenomenon, so the superiority of the white race in India was innate. This phenomenon was exacerbated by the two-hundred-year-long British rule, which also brought many problems to Indian society, which still affect India to this day.
White Indians, who enjoy the dividends, are now the most comfortable class in India, and they are born without worrying about future life problems, nor do they have to struggle at the bottom of society like low-caste people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > the impact of the caste system on India over thousands of years</h1>
Almost all Indians have religious beliefs, and 82% of them believe in Hinduism, which makes the worship of gods in Indians incomprehensible to outsiders. The caste system is a direct manifestation of religious theocracy, and it is the "gods" who divide India into several hierarchies. Lower castes cannot communicate with higher castes, let alone intermarry across classes or anything else.
Religious beliefs are often accompanied by feudal ignorance, which has undergone a long period of caste rule, and the idea of ignorance has long been engraved into the memory of Indians. Instead of seeing a doctor when you are sick, you go to drink the water of the Ganges and the urine of horses, which is unimaginable in any civilized country. This is one of the shackles that the caste system has put on Indians, and after years of propaganda in our country, feudal ideas have gradually drifted away from the people, but India is so deeply rooted that if the government does not interfere, I am afraid it will last for countless generations.
The caste system has also led to the solidification of Social Classes in India and the widening gap between rich and poor. In India, the life of the people at the bottom is very hard, and even some families have to sell their daughters to temples in order to survive, just to reduce some tenant rent. The upper class has never had such a burden, and the aristocratic class in India is completely different from the lower people from food, clothing, housing and living habits, and daily life has almost no intersection.
Readers who regularly watch Indian movies may find that the protagonists in Indian movies are mostly white, and black people rarely become the protagonists of movies. This is the manifestation of the solidification of social classes, and the people at the bottom are rarely able to turn over. At the same time, the education of the underprivileged people in India is also a big problem, and 80% of the illiteracy in Indian society is from these people. Without a good education, it is even more difficult to cross classes.
Of course, it is not without the success of low-caste Indians across classes, in the case of India's current Prime Minister Modi, who comes from India's third caste, the Vedas. Born into a poor family, Modi grew up with his family setting up stalls, did not go to much school, and married at the age of 13. Later, he got rid of his family step by step, embarked on the political road, and did not know how many tribulations he had to go through to become the prime minister of India.
By learning about Modi's experience, we can see how difficult it is for lower caste people to climb up. I don't know how many Indians can have such a successful case. In short, the caste system has become an important reason hindering the development of India's society, and only by breaking the solidified class can we promote the better development of Indian society.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > British colonial conspiracy</h1>
As we all know, India is a peninsular country, with mountains to the north and the sea to the south. This kind of terrain was a natural barrier in ancient times, so ancient India did not have a large number of soldiers in ancient Times, which is also a big reason why every time other countries invaded India, they could succeed. At the same time, India is internally divided and there are few times of unity. When the British invaded India, there was no resistance from a large army.
Although the British entered India effortlessly, there were many small tribes and countries in India, and they all went their own way. The British had always regarded India as a supplier of raw materials, and the British did not want to bother to unify and occupy India, nor did they want to manage India at all. On the contrary, by co-opting the nobility, the Indians were internally consumed, and finally they were reaping the benefits of the fishermen.
The Way the British co-opted the Indian nobility was through intermarriage, consolidating alliances by marrying local nobles themselves or their relatives who had traveled to India. As we mentioned earlier, unlike the Aryans, the British were very keen on intermarriage with the Indians, and as colonists, the British did not have the feudal ideas of the Aryans, and they did not fear losing their privileged status.
British businessmen saw that the official progress in India was going so well and wanted to open the Indian market in the same way. For the next two hundred years, the British continued to travel to India to achieve their goals through intermarriage. At the same time, a large number of British living in India sought Indian mistresses, which also caused a large number of white orphans, and later these orphans did not live even as well as the indians at the bottom.
In addition to intermarriage, the British gave many preferential treatment to high-caste people in order to make the Indian nobility better cooperate with British rule. Once again, Indian society was divided, and the lower castes were almost all slaves, and the higher castes could benefit a lot as long as they obeyed the British. It can be said that the British people's understanding of the caste system has reached the extreme, and the two hundred years of ruling India have imprinted this system on the hearts of Indians.
India's Bollywood has made so many excellent films that criticize countless social problems, but never criticize the caste system; Modi, who comes from a lower caste background, has not attacked the caste system since he became prime minister. It can be seen that the attitude of Indians to this system may not have been expected by the British to promote the caste system to become like this. The white Indians created by the british intermarriage with India are still the elite of Indian society today.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > India can become a modern country all thanks to Britain</h1>
Although the British ruled India only to obtain a large number of industrial raw materials, in a sense, British colonial rule also promoted the development of India. India had been a divided country until it was colonized by the British, and even during the period of Mongol domination, India had not been able to fully unify India.
In order to facilitate colonial rule in India, the British conveniently helped to unify India. At this point, India, which has been divided for thousands of years, has finally become a unified and complete country. It was precisely because of reunification that India was able to achieve successful independence after World War II.
In order to save labor costs, the British implemented the policy of using India to govern India. That is, select some of the high castes of India to go to Britain to receive the most advanced ideas in order to help the British rule India. It is these people who have learned advanced ideas that have put India on the path of modernizing the country. If it weren't for Britain, India might have taken decades to fully awaken.
Some readers may not know that the official language of India is currently English. Due to its vast size and long-standing division, india did not even have a unified language before the British colonized India, and each region spoke its own language. The British colonists found it too cumbersome to manage, so they promoted English throughout India. English promoted the development of Indian civilization, but also made India an English-speaking country, and in later international politics, it has always held the thighs of the West.
The British also built a large number of railways in India, although this was only to better plunder India's resources, but it did lay a good industrial foundation for India. With India's national strength, even if it is unified, it is impossible to build a large number of railways on its own. The British intervention made a lot of efforts in the Indian province, and the railway was the most intuitive change left by the British to India.
In terms of education, India also established a perfect education system during the British colonial period. Otherwise, in a country with many religions, india, it is a fantasy to break religion to improve education. But the British could do it, and out of fear of britain, the Indian religion did not dare to interfere with all british affairs in India. Until now, India is still using the education system established by the United Kingdom, education has discovered a large number of talents for India, and the main reason for the rapid development of the Indian economy in recent years is that the education foundation is good.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > what role white Indians do to Indian society</h1>
We talk about the special status of white Indians and the harm they bring to Indian society, but the role of white Indians in promoting Indian society is also undeniable. It is said that the British gave white Indians a better education in order to help british rule, and these whites and their descendants became the elite of future Indian society. A broader vision has saved India many fewer detours, and India's modern political system, no matter how corrupt, is now clearer than when it was ruled by a caste system alone.
In addition to training a group of advanced talents for India, most of the white Indians today are descendants of the British, and this blood relationship also allows India to maintain a close political relationship with the British. After the end of World War II, India has been in contact with European and American countries and has received international assistance from many European and American countries.
India can become what it is now, for better or worse, and has a great deal to do with Britain. Becoming a modern country with the help of the British and leaving so many social problems under the influence of the British colonial period. The epidemic has brought too much chaos to Indian society, and it is not known where India will go after the epidemic.
