Experience the traditional culture of China.

Have you been deceived by the seven Indian misunderstandings in the eyes of China people?

As one of China's neighbors, India is actually both familiar and unfamiliar to most people.

What is the real India like? How do Indians live? Why do you call it an open country? Does he really litter? Down and out? Polygamy? Do people live with God?

Let's look at the real side of India. What you don't know about the seven real situations in India will surely surprise you from ear to ear.

Myth 1: India is dirty, chaotic and backward.

It is estimated that when people in China mention India, their first reaction is that they are dirty, messy, backward and poor, so most people are unlikely to choose India as a country to travel. Who would be so masochistic?

Is India really messy?

Let's take a look at the comments of netizens who have experienced it personally-Pony's brush-on the Indian holy city of varanasi. "There is rubbish everywhere, cow dung, and what is more terrible is the man who casually stands on the street and urinates with his back to you. Others barefoot, lined up in a crowded queue to worship Buddha in the temple. They may be lucky to step on the muddy water mixed with various substances on the ground and step on cow dung. "

Let's take a look at the comments made by the flowers of Fang Jing Mountain Temple in the Dust Room on Indian cities. "The chaos in India is caused by traffic. Even in a big city like Mumbai, there are not enough traffic light facilities. The government allows almost all vehicles to drive in the city, so the streets are congested with vehicles from rickshaws and motorcycles to tricycles and cars, and the horn has become the main voice of the city. " But is India just chaos? India is very backward. Is the economic level low?

Are we seeing the real India?

In fact, many Indian cities are clean and beautiful, whether it is Mumbai, the economic capital, or Bangalore, the IT Silicon Valley in the East. After getting rid of the mess of the peripheral slums, these cities not only retain the modern style, but also integrate into the traditional culture. To some extent, compared with Shanghai and Beijing, they emphasize the cultural accumulation left over from history. Do you dare to say that India is all dirty and messy?

In terms of economic development, "since 20 14, the Indian economy has shown a strong recovery momentum. Even in the complicated and changeable global economic situation, according to IMF data, India's economic growth rate rose from 5% in 20 13 to 5.8% last year.

The report "World Economic Situation and Prospects in 20 16" released by the United Nations shows that India's total economic output accounts for about 70% of South Asia's total economic output, and it is predicted that the growth rate will reach 5.9% in 20 15 and 6.3% in 20 16. "

The second misunderstanding is that the social status of Indian women is very low.

Apart from traffic, rape has always impressed us most in India.

What is the social status of women in that magical country? Don't leave the gate? Does rape really happen every day? Look at the views of China media and netizens. Indeed, the social status of low-caste women in India is very low.

Marrying a woman in India requires a dowry, which is a lot of money. Many in-laws dislike dowry, abuse their wives less, and even kill their wives before marriage. In order to avoid future dowry, the incident of killing baby girls is also vivid. Not to mention the sinful rape.

However, the status of Indian women is still slowly improving.

For example, when it comes to the education of Indian women, Ambica, president of the Indian Women's Support Association? Delhi said, "Before that, education was almost monopolized by men. Now parents are willing to treat their daughters as sons and provide them with equal educational opportunities. Once these women get good education and qualifications, they are more inclined to enter the business field. Moreover, today's society encourages women to show their abilities to prove that they can appear at work like men. "

In India, 54% of the CEOs of financial services companies are women. Among these women, Chanda Kohhar has the highest achievement. After working in ICICI Bank for 25 years, she successfully rose to the top management of the company, together with Shikha Sharma of Axis Bank, Naina Lal Kidwai, CEO of HSBC India Branch, and Kalpana Morparia of JPMorgan Chase India Branch. Rape is more a derivative of poverty and public security problems. Now the Indian government has begun to face up to this social problem under the urging of people's organizations and the media!

Myth 3: Indian men can marry many wives.

For some men, India is a paradise.

It is said that men can marry many wives? Marry her husband's family and pay back the money?

The fact is that Hinduism is monogamous. According to the Hindu Marriage Law of 1956, polygamy is prohibited, bigamy is treated as a crime, and its marriage is invalid; Allow divorce; The act of entering into marriage is specially stipulated by law, but the formal elements are determined by customs and etiquette. In the aspect of divorce, the theory that one spouse can only dissolve the marriage relationship if the other spouse commits a crime.

Islam can be polygamous, with up to four civilians and six nobles. But! There is no such thing as wives and concubines. The first wife and the second wife are completely equal in property status! In other words, if you love one more, others will tear you to pieces and eat you. The happiness of Qi people and the fragrance of tea only exist in fairy tales.

Also, Buddhist disciples don't give their wives.

Hindus account for 865,438+0% of India's total population. Hindus marry and believe in Vulcan. Their newly married men and women have to turn around the fire seven times together, which means that seven lives and seven lives are together. Do you think such a nation will never trust a person? In fact, to some extent, this is also beautiful.

Myth 4: The upper caste has money or power, while the lower caste has no money or power.

Speaking of Indian caste system, it is the most important part of Indian society. This unequal caste system in India still exists in such a modern age.

Many people think, but all the upper castes have money or power, while the lower castes have no money or power, right? Let's look at the real India. ? Guess what? Their Supreme Prime Minister is not the highest caste group we imagined. Modi was born in a small caste family in Gilat, ranking third among six children. Three generations of his ancestors have run a small grocery store in the local area, and his father opened a tea stall at the railway station-Modi helped his father sell Indian milk tea there since he was a child. Isn't it a surprise?

In addition, there are more, namely, four Indian general castes, Brahman, Khshatriya, Vedas and sudra. The first three are high castes and can be reincarnated. Brahman is an emissary who serves the Indian gods, and his social status is even higher than that of Khshatriya, an aristocrat representing the power class. However, this is also a brahmin. Indian caste is handed down from ancestors. Aryans are white-skinned, Indian invaders of that year, and generally divided into high-caste people.

But this does not mean that high castes have money. They may have only one title, and their family fortune has fallen. But on the whole, people with high castes are much richer than people with low castes, so you can understand them as rich second generation.

Then the question is coming. As shown above, what should Modi do when he meets the Brahmin crowd?

The answer is that he can only kneel down and touch each other's feet with his hands, and then touch his forehead to salute. Pray for each other and let yourself get the glory of God.

This is India.

Fifth mistake, India's education is very poor? Nobody studies? Is there a problem with studying in India?

A country's education is the ladder of its development and progress. Compared with China, where did the Indian ladder take the Indian people? Is Indian education really bad? Do they really have nothing to learn except IT?

Tsinghua University has a law degree and a double bachelor's degree, and Oxford University has a master's degree and a doctorate, but I don't think so!

After her real field trip to Nehru University, she found that "unlike China's teaching methods, I am very satisfied with the teaching environment and pleasant learning atmosphere in which Indians live in harmony with nature." She said.

Indian education has inherited the teaching system of the Commonwealth. 100% English teaching environment. Higher education teachers are strong (you know, the teachers in their slightly better institutions are all graduates from Oxford and Cambridge, after all, they have a British worship complex in their bones and generally choose to study in the UK). And the tuition is very cheap!

If you want to see a different world, India is really not as bad as you think!

Whether it's Bangalore, the political economy of Nehru University, or the language, religion and literature of Calcutta University, you should try to learn more about it.

Myth 6: Indians wipe their bottoms with their hands, but they don't use paper!

Perhaps the most unbearable thing in Indian living habits is the legendary hand wiping!

Bian Xiao drew a picture for you. Do you believe in this incredible behavior? Do you feel that the whole person is not good!

This is the toilet of an ordinary middle-class family. That hose is really useful, but it is used for flushing, not for washing hands, and there is no so-called XX buckle. Actually, there is toilet paper! Of course, the poor may … use leaves or stones. What will you do if you go to the toilet without paper? Only leaves can be used!

In fact, Indians think that the left hand represents filth and impurity. They don't eat with their left hands. They only hold the right hand when shaking hands, and they will be beaten if they extend their left hand!

It is true that ordinary people are not so particular about hygiene. However, Bian Xiao can only say that the economic base determines the superstructure, and who pays attention to hygiene when there is no food in slums?

Myth 7: Must India believe in Buddhism? There must be many Buddhists.

Most people in China know the Tang Priest, whether he is a monk chanting incantations in The Journey to the West or a monk who caused havoc in Heaven in A Chinese Odyssey. There really was such a holy monk in the history of the Tang Dynasty in China who went west to India 16 and returned to China to study Buddhism. He is the real Tang Sanzang without the Monkey King, but on his own.

Therefore, many people think that India must be a country with deep Buddhist roots and all people practicing Buddhism, right? In fact, Buddhism was not created by India, but by Nepal. Indians have their own religion, that is Hinduism. What about Buddhism? In fact, Buddhism has long been driven away! Not only Buddhism, but also Islam has been driven to pieces!

If there are four major religions in the world, the fourth must be Hinduism! Many people! India is one of the countries most deeply influenced by religion in the world, and religion has penetrated into every part of its society and culture.

About 83% of India's population believes in Hinduism. 10% Islam. 0.8% of the residents in India believe in Buddhism.

India's religion has brought a lot to India and made them lose a lot. The Indian religion enables the Indian people to maintain inner peace even in the face of poverty and backwardness. India is a magical and contradictory country.
