Chapter 885: Hinduism
Hinduism is a religion that forcibly divides people into three, six, nine and so on, and has great feudal remnants. In modern times, if India were not for Hinduism dragging its feet, the development of Ah San would not be worse than that of China.
You know, Ah San can do a good job of software, which shows that their wisdom is not bad. Otherwise, it will not become an ancient civilization on the same level as China.
However, a Hinduism that imprisons people's identities and thoughts forcibly imprisons Ah San's development potential. Just like the original Confucian thought, which imprisoned the thinking of the Chinese people. Fortunately, after two revolutions, China completely broke the ideological shackles, and then realized the country's take-off. And the Asans also regard Hinduism, which has a heavy feudal remnant, as a state, and even the prime minister is tied in a turban, which naturally restricts development.
Of course, this is a good thing for Huaxia. Ah San is willing to restrain his own thoughts, so let them continue to bind. The lack of a strong competitor is also a good thing for Huaxia.
In his previous life, Marin had always felt that the South Vietnamese monkey might have more potential than Ah San. Because, South Vietnam also broke the ideological shackles through revolution. Moreover, Nanyue was originally a Chinese territory and was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. Those well-known TV series, such as "Huanzhu Gege", are very popular in South Vietnam, and even remakes of thunder dramas. Then, he also imitated China to open up...... Had it not been for the fact that its territory was long and narrow, and it was greatly restricted, South Vietnam might have risen as a new power. And if South Vietnam and Ah San exchange territory, a great power will surely rise......
This is in terms of future development, but from the perspective of the rulers, Hinduism could not be more wonderful.
Because they are born into a hierarchy and with a strong religious belief, Indians rarely rebel against fate. After the British occupied India, they did not promote Christianity in India. Why? Because the promotion of Christianity is not as effective as Hinduism itself! If it is conducive to rule, why not keep this backward religion? As a result, the British promoted Christianity in other colonies around the world, while retaining Hinduism in India. The few revolts of the Indians were due to the fact that the British did not respect their beliefs. As for national independence or something, that's not for the three brothers to consider. For example, the Great Uprising of 1857 was because the bullets promoted by the British army were coated with butter. And the cow is a mascot in India and is not allowed to be eaten. This violated Ah San's taboo and led to the great uprising. As long as you don't respect the religious beliefs of the general government, India should not be too easy to rule. Even if Gandhi made trouble, he would not cooperate, rather than just do what he said he would do, as the northerners did. Speaking of which, it is not as difficult to rule India as it is to rule Afghanistan.
Why did Marin bring in Indian untouchables and protect their faith? Because of the Hindu canons, the untouchables do not dare to have the idea of being the masters of their own affairs, but only dare to be coolies honestly.
Moreover, at the same time as introducing Lao Hei to Japan, Marin also planned to introduce Japanese labor in the Americas. After the introduction of Japanese labor, arrangements were made for Japanese peasants to marry Indian untouchables, and Hinduism was promoted......
This trick is very shady, because according to Hindu rules, any child born of intermarriage with a Dalit is also a Dalit, regardless of who the Dariah marries him.
In this way, according to Hindu rules, the children left by the untouchables and the Japanese farmers are also untouchables......
Hindu untouchables generally do not rebel against rule, so Marin's colonial rule is much more stable......
Why did Marin import people from Japan? There's no way, there are only a few hundred thousand people in the Beihai country, how can you control such a large area of America? Japan has a population of 17 million, and it is also a good choice to get some labor from Japan to help develop the Americas.
In fact, Marin originally wanted to bring in the population from China. However, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to agree. At most, Marin can only find an opportunity to get some refugees to escape the famine to go to the Americas, but the number will definitely not be too much. Because, now is not the era of refugees in the late Ming Dynasty. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the country was still very stable, and large-scale refugees were unlikely. Therefore, Marin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, bringing in untouchables from India and farmers from Japan to help develop the Americas.
But the Japanese are ambitious, and when you are strong, they will obediently obey. When you decline, I might bite you. Therefore, even if a large number of farmers were brought in from Japan, Marin had to be on guard. And let them intermarry with the untouchables of India, and then let them adopt Hinduism...... O, everyone is a pariah, and they are still making hair?
Marin then built several more Hindu temples and called on devotees to donate gold...... Marin remembers the news that tens of billions of dollars were found in the secret chamber of the temple in Travangol, India. Marin can ostensibly call on believers to donate gold, and then secretly take the gold...... As for the idols in the temple...... Just paint the statue with a layer of tin sulfide similar to gold dust to fool the Hindus...... Real gold, swallowed by yourself......
Hindus have a habit of collecting gold, wearing it, and donating it to Hindu temples...... If one day, Marin occupies India, he will definitely go to the temple to look for gold...... Of course, you have to look for it quietly, otherwise it will anger the honest third brother......
……
In addition, Marin also had plans to introduce Hinduism to Japan. In this way, after solidifying the class in Japan, it will be more convenient to rule......
was lowered by Uncle Hei's IQ again, and was solidified into 369 by Hinduism, Ma Lin did not believe that there was a future for the Wa Kingdom in the future......
Moreover, Hinduism and Buddhism came out of India together, and Marin could deceive the Japanese in the name of Tianzhu (Indian) upper-class Buddhism. After all, during the Warring States period in Japan, the influence of Buddhism was still quite large. Both Hinduism and Buddhism originated in India, and Marin was able to make Hindu monks pretend to be eminent monks to preach in Japan...... As for true Buddhism, it should be suppressed by force......
In addition, Marin can also co-opt the daimyo and promote to them the benefits of Hinduism - class solidification and the interests of their families...... Only the class is ideologically solidified, and the people will not rebel against the ruling class...... Anyway, those big names must have been of the higher castes......
Then, those Japanese farmers must have been classified as untouchables. As a pariah, in the future, I will honestly make cattle and horses for those nobles, and don't think of some unrealistic ideas to get ahead......
As long as it is beneficial to the ruling class, they will certainly be happy to uphold this religious rule that is beneficial to them. Haven't you seen the 21st century, Ah San's high caste, and don't agree to be equal to the untouchables? If they were truly equal, how would those of the higher castes be powerful?
So, for the rulers and the ruling class, Hinduism is really a good choice. And it just so happened that Japan was in an era of war, Buddhism, Shintoism and Confucianism coexisted, but none of them had an absolute advantage, and it was easy to be invaded and influenced. If it is replaced by the deep-rooted Ming Dynasty of Confucianism, there is no way to promote it. After all, Confucianism believed in "the son is silent, the strange power is chaotic......
