Chapter 1 Million Dowry
"Mr. Pandit, Mr. Buhart is willing to pay a dowry of 30,000 US dollars, that's a full 30,000 US dollars, don't you think about it?!"
"What is $30,000? Mr. Chetley is willing to pay a dowry of $50,000!"
"Mr. Landoch is willing to pay a hundred thousand dollars!"
“......”
Looking at the noisy scene of these aunts in front of him, I am afraid it is difficult for anyone to guess that this is a bunch of "matchmakers" proposing to a man, after all, in the thinking of the Chinese people, marriage has always been the man through a high bride price to show his strength, but in India, it is the opposite.
At the root of this situation is the caste system in India, which, according to Hindu teachings, divides people into four classes, the first being the most honorable Brahmins, equivalent to ancient sacrifices, and the second being Kshatriyas, which are equivalent to ancient nobles and warriors. These two classes are collectively known as the high castes.
Then there are the third Vaishyas, who are responsible for the basic work of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishing, and are tasked with providing for Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and the fourth class is the Shudras, which are basically equivalent to slaves. But again, there are even lower "Dalits", or in other words, untouchables, who are not even qualified to be slaves to the high castes, and if you see the high castes on the road, you have to hide quickly and not let people see them, otherwise you will pollute the eyes of the high castes, and you will be beaten or even beheaded.
Although as early as 1947, the Indian government announced the abolition of the caste system, but in fact the caste system still exists in Indian society, and because this system has lasted for more than 2,000 years, it has long been in the blood of Indians, especially Hindu believers, so even in modern society, it still exerts an incredible influence on outsiders all the time.
Because the lower castes will be subject to all kinds of discrimination in life and work, for example, the doctrine stipulates that what occupation can only be held by people of any caste, which is a bit like the Shi and Shu clans in the Jin Dynasty in China.
Even in modern society, the lower castes can gain wealth and official positions through their own efforts, but they are still discriminated against by the upper castes, and even they feel inferior in their hearts.
And there is only one way to improve the caste, and that is marriage, that is, after the lower caste woman marries the higher caste man, then her caste will become the same as her husband, and if the operation is good, even the whole family caste can be promoted. But it is absolutely not okay for a high-caste woman to marry a low-caste man, and once it is discovered, then both parties will be reduced to untouchables, that is, Dalits!(In fact, in ancient times, there could also be a state lord or king to promote the caste of his subordinates, which is similar to the flag raising in the Qing Dynasty, but now that the government has announced the abolition of the caste system, it is naturally impossible to take this road.) )
In this way, high-caste men have become hot, because whether it is a high-caste woman in order to keep her high-caste identity, or a low-caste woman wants to marry a high-caste man in order to improve her and her family's caste, so in order to enhance competitiveness, the woman's family, especially the low-caste woman's family, can only come up with a large amount of bride price to attract high-caste men, and there are even people who are willing to provide financial assistance after marriage, to put it bluntly, they are willing to support you for a lifetime!
But even so, there are still very few high-caste men who are willing to marry low-caste women, because high-caste men, especially Brahmin men, can still live a carefree life with food in the temple even if they have nothing in this life, and only Brahmin men who are extremely short of money will marry low-caste women for money, so when they find out after marriage that the woman has not fulfilled the promise of providing for her life or the amount of dowry does not satisfy them, they will hurt or even kill their wives, in their logic, this is the first thing that your woman does not keep her promise, then she must be punished。 (Seeing this, everyone should have an understanding of some phenomena in India, of course, understanding is understanding, this kind of thing still has to be criticized!)
And the young man Shakru who was surrounded by these "matchmakers" was a young Brahmin man who was willing to marry a low-caste woman, especially since he was still highly educated and very fair-skinned and handsome, so it was no wonder that he was besieged.
In fact, this Mr. Shakru was misunderstood, because he didn't know the inside story when he first agreed to this matter, so when others asked him if he would marry a low-caste woman when he was dealing with his father's funeral, he casually agreed, if he felt that they were compatible with each other, then why not?
And the reason for this misunderstanding is because this Mr. Shakru is not the real Shaklu-Pandeit, his real identity is from a Chinese doctor in 2018, and after encountering a car accident, he inexplicably found that he actually crossed into the body of the 2002 Indian Brahmin boy Shakru Pandit who died of grief because of the death of his father.
But at present, this matter can't be dealt with with the pain of losing his father and saying the wrong thing in a moment's confusion, because these guys don't give themselves a chance to defend themselves at all, so Shakru had to say with a bitter face: "Aunts, I know everyone's good intentions, but do you have to talk about this kind of thing, in case the daughters of the gentlemen you represent, they don't agree, then aren't we wasting time!"
Unexpectedly, these aunts immediately retorted: "Mr. Pandit, don't worry, Mr. Buhatt's daughter will definitely agree!"
The others chimed in: "Yes, yes, how could they not agree to the opportunity to marry a brahmin like you?"
"If Miss Cheatley doesn't agree, Mr. Cheatley will break her legs!"
“......”
Seeing that his perfunctory plan was useless, Shakru was thinking about how to use to shirk it, when a voice suddenly came from the door: "I am willing to pay a dowry of a million dollars!"
Hearing this number, everyone was immediately shocked, after all, this number is too big, it is ten times the highest price just now, but the strange thing is that this "matchmaker" did not say which family she came on, but dragged Shakru aside and whispered a few words, and then Shakru was suddenly shocked: "Ah?!It turned out to be her?"
PS: Although my "Rebirth of India's Superiority" has been blocked, there should still be many friends who know this book, the reason why I wrote about India again is completely influenced by this year's popular movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine", this time it will still focus on the pharmaceutical industry, but it will be completely different from the previous one!
