Chapter 904: Can India Fight a People's War Too?

Regarding Shahrukh's suggestion to lead the people of Youyi to fight the "people's war" of the Chen era, Giani immediately expressed his obvious position. .

Giani's point is very clear: today's population of nearly 860 million represents the high-caste group of the social elite, which is too small compared to the large population base of the low-caste people.

After independence from British colonial rule in 1947, the legal status of the caste system was formally abolished, but the proposal to outlaw various caste classifications and discrimination was not explicitly legislated. The caste system still plays an important role in the functioning of today's society and in the actual life and work.

The BJP and the Congress Party alternate in power, making it seem that You has become in line with Western democracies. But in reality, this so-called democracy is a complete self-deception∪ and the entire social system is still firmly controlled by the four caste classes.

In order to mobilize the people of Yuyu to unite and fight a people's war, the first premise is to abolish the caste system in a real sense of the word and make all the people of all ethnic groups in Yuyu equal.

However, in Giani's view, the abolition of the caste system seemed to be more difficult for him to defeat the Eastern Union invaders.

The four castes represent the elite of the society, and they will never allow the untouchables to stand on an equal footing with them, let alone tolerate their wealth and status being taken away by the untouchables.

Shahrukh's idea of a "strategic concept of a people's war" is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Giani is well assured that if Rajiv Gandhi's cabinet dares to accept Shahrukh's proposal, Rajiv Gandhi's premiership will be over.

Based on Giani's understanding of the four caste families, they would rather compromise with the Eastern Union and cede land and seek peace to maintain their dominance in You, rather than let the vast number of untouchables "turn into serfs and become masters" like those untouchables in southern Tibet.

Of course, if Rajiv Gandhi had to try to abolish the caste system in the same way that the Chinese had completely abolished feudal serfdom, Giani would certainly not have stopped it.

Although President You's power is getting bigger and bigger, the Prime Minister's cabinet still has many constraints on the president. He would not mind dissolving Parliament and Cabinet if he could make the president the supreme head of state like the head of state of the Eastern Union.

After RA didn't use the information he wanted, Giani reprimanded Shah Rukh harshly and walked away.

Shah Rukh also took Giani's reprimand seriously, and he sorted out the information at hand, drove to the Prime Minister's Office, and reported to Prime Minister Gandhi.

What Shah Rukh did not expect was that before the Prime Minister's Office, the news that the government was going to completely abolish the caste system in exchange for the support of the broadest strata of the untouchables against the Eastern Union invaders was spreading in New Delhi as soon as possible, and it was rapidly spreading throughout the country.

All of a sudden, rumors such as "the cabinet wants to encourage the untouchables to rebel", "the government wants to let the sub-caste and mixed caste classes serve as war artillery", and "the Eastern Union is here to liberate the poor people" and so on spread in the country. In the end, some rumors even turned into "the cabinet is going to launch a proletarianization/revolution on a national scale, so that the caste system will disappear from this world completely".

The Assam region is located in the northeast of You, bordering Bangladesh in the west, Meghalaya and Tripura in the south, Huaxia and Bhutan in the north, and Nagaland, Manpur and Leuzola in the east, with a total area of 78,400 square kilometers and a population of about 28 million.

Assam is another name for the Dai people, which was first recorded in the Tang Dynasty Master Xuanzang's Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicles, called "Gamo Wibo Country", Xuanzang once invited the local king Kumoro to the country**. In the 13th century, the Dai people established the kingdom of Ahome, which was occupied by the British during the First Anglo-Burmese War and became the state of Assam in 1947.

Assam is a beautiful and rich place. Natural resources are abundant. The abundant water resources make the local area have great potential for development in agricultural irrigation and hydropower generation. The state is dominated by agriculture and plantation, with less than 72 per cent of the population engaged in agriculture, mainly rice and maize, and cash crops such as tea, cotton, jute, sugar cane and tobacco. Its tea production is high and has a long history.

At the same time, the Assam region is also rich in forest resources, accounting for 21% of the total area of the state, and is one of the main suppliers of timber in Assam. There are also abundant mineral resources, rich in marble, diamond, crude oil, natural gas, etc.

In 1889, oil was discovered in the local city of Digboy, making Assam the first state in the country to produce oil. The Digboi Oath Refinery is the oldest refinery in particular, having been in commercial production since 1901 and capable of refining 300,000 tons of gasoline, kerosene, diesel and other petrochemicals per year. In addition, there are three other oil refineries in Assam: Guwahati Snuenma Refining Oil Refining Plant, which has been in operation since 1962, mainly producing liquefied gas, petrol, kerosene, diesel, coke, fuel oil, etc.

Assam has huge coal reserves, which are estimated to be around 1.2 billion tonnes in total. The history of local coal mining began in 1865 with the mining of coal in the Makum coalfield. The underground coal seam extends from Dilly-Choappur in the west to Tipoke in the east. Locally produced coal has a unique quality, with a high combustion index of about 36% to 42%), a low ash content of about 3% to 15%, and a high cracking index of about 10% to 19%). Located in the mountainous districts of Assam, the districts of Gaurajah, Umrangsu and Kota-Alda all contain large amounts of coal.

As Abt Global Mining Group has become more comprehensive and meticulous in the exploration of natural mineral resources in the Assam region, the Assam People's Liberation Army has become more and more important to this treasure land that once belonged to the people of Assam.

In recent years, the investment in the Assam region has been smooth sailing, and the government has given a variety of policy support, and even the armed forces dominated by the Assam People's Liberation Army have also fought with the business representatives of the Abt company.

Before coming to Assam, Jessica had always thought that this was the poorest and most backward remote mountainous area in You.

Jessica was originally dissatisfied with Qiu Fang's letting her focus the investment of Abt Mining Group on the Assam region, but now she is truly impressed by Qiu Fang's intelligence resources.

After successfully completing the acquisition of the Digboy oil field and refinery, Jessica has come to see the entire Assam region as the private domain of the best and most successful man in the world.
