Chapter 931: The Life of the Ge Caste
"Gandhi is going to England?"
Hersmann learned the news from Natalie, who had returned to Berlin, and he sighed softly: "Mahatma is Mahatma, and it is really not an easy character to deal with. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
This time, Gandhi made a 36-step move, on the one hand, he gave in, and on the other hand, he left India, the land of right and wrong, and ran to the nest of British imperialism -- when Gandhi and Nehru arrived in England, Hersmann's butcher's knife could not be cut. The non-violent movement in India was temporarily halted and gave way to the violent line of the Bolshevik Party. By the time the Bolshevik Party began to divide the land and fight the Brahmins, the rich and powerful supporters of the Congress Party would reunite under Gandhi's banner......
Natalie was a little unimpressed, saying: "That's not the case with Indians, and after Gandhi announced the end of the hunger strike and the withdrawal of the British Exit manifesto, the Congress party was divided. Many prominent figures in the Congress party chose to leave, accusing Gandhi of failing his nonviolent line and saying that Gandhi and Nehru had gone to Britain to surrender. Gandhi and Nehru are probably going to fall, they have betrayed their line, they will be spurned by the Indians, and they will never again be the leaders of Indian politics. ā
Hersman just shook his head, "Natalie, Gandhi and Nehru have not abandoned their course, they have always taken the non-violent line." And the so-called non-violence does not mean that we can kill and not resist, but that we do not intensify the contradictions when our strength is insufficient, and when we see us raising the butcher's knife, we will make compromises, and the purpose is to let the flame of struggle burn for a long time. Even if their generation does not succeed, there will be those who come after them to carry their career to the end. Such a line seems weak to us Europeans, but it must be in line with India's national conditions.
You see, it won't be long before the people who spit on Gandhi now will return to him, and he will become a prophet and spiritual leader admired by everyone in India. ā
"So what should we do?" Natalie asked, frowning.
Hersman smiled coldly: "The best way is, of course, to kill Gandhi and Nehru...... But the decision is up to the British, and if they don't dare, we have a way to help maintain the Indian Empire, just a little trouble. But that's fine, the British will depend on us for a long time to come to maintain a decent gentleman's life. ā
Natalie nodded and asked again, "Imperial Marshal, I heard in Mumbai that we are going to divide India in two and achieve the division of the MSL and the Hindus, is this true?" ā
The dismantling of the Indian Empire was something that Hersman had long planned in his heart, but he never mentioned it to Natalie, the "great secretary", so Natalie heard about it for the first time in Mumbai.
Because of the "rumors" of the break-up of India and the fact that Gandhi and Nehru were going to England to live in seclusion, the atmosphere in India was already a little wrong before Natalie left Mumbai. Some radical Indian independence groups (Hindu) were preparing to cause trouble, and a part of the Anglo-Indian Army (reorganized from the Nationalist Army founded by Bose) controlled by the Indians themselves was also preparing to mutiny.
"It's true!" Hersman replied, "But not now." ā
"When will it be announced?"
Hersman did not hide it, and replied with a smile: "Wait until the Agrarian Revolution and the Caste Revolution in the Indian People's Republic begin." ā
While the two were talking, a report rang out outside the door of Hersman's office, and an adjutant walked in and handed a copy of the telegram to Natalie.
Natalie glanced down, her complexion suddenly changed, she looked at Hersman and said, "Imperial Marshal, it's a report from the Indian Front Command...... The leader of the Indian National Army, Bose, defected and his whereabouts are unknown! ā
Hersman shook his head indifferently, "He must have gone to Peshawar!" Gandhi was the old fox, and Nehru was a good student of Gandhi...... It was this Bose who was the most impulsive, but it was a pity that his enemies were too strong and his strength was too weak to work miracles.
Indian...... Only when we are slaves of Europeans! ā

Chandra. Bose was a passionate revolutionary, and the negative Gandhi was the opposite of a different kind of person, somewhat similar to Gandhi's good student Nehru, but his ideas were more radical.
He believes that India must carry out a thorough land reform (there are two types of land reform in India, the incomplete reform is the abolition of the "chamindar system" similar to the tax collector system, and the complete land reform is the equal division of all land), the complete abolition of the caste system, and the industrialization of the country. This line is very close to the ideas of the Indian Bolshevik Party, and Bose is very familiar with many Indian Bolshevik revolutionaries -- the circle of Indian revolutionaries is actually not very large, and such a figure as Bose, who has been the chairman of the Congress Party, is of course very familiar.
For example, Comrade Shurak, a Brahmin revolutionary of the Indian Bolshevik Party, is very familiar with Bose, they are classmates at Cambridge University, but Shurak's kind is better than Bose, and his family has more money, so he studied Eton College in middle school, and Bose went to England in college.
After arriving in Peshawar, Bos went directly to Shurak's house, where he met with Serov and Brezhnev, representatives of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union, to discuss the general direction of the Indian revolution.
"Chandra, you can do it with us, we all know your abilities, we need you very much." Shurak very warmly invited Bose to join, although these Indian Brahmin revolutionaries had many problems, but there was one point that the Soviet revolutionaries could not compare. It's just that the amount and style are very large, and they don't care much about power, and they are very tolerant.
Serov now understood the cold English of the British aristocracy, so he acted as an interpreter on the spot, telling Shurak's words to the frowning Brezhnev - Brezhnev had expected to meet a group of suffering slut revolutionaries in India, but he did not expect to meet Brahmin revolutionaries who were indeed nobler than the nobles of Tsarist Russia...... How can these guys lead the revolution when they look at people with reactionary eyes?
And Chandra, who was president of the Congress party. Bose's temperament looks a little more comfortable, without the aristocratic atmosphere and strong sense of superiority that is so strong that it can't be erased. Brezhnev guessed that his family must not be particularly wealthy, and his blood was probably not particularly noble......
"Sanjay," Bose affectionately called Shurak's name, "how are you going to abolish the caste system, the backward system that binds the hands and feet of the Indian nation?" ā
How bad the caste system is, it is difficult for foreigners to understand. The average foreigner knows only the five castes of Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra and Datli.
In fact, the Indian caste system is much more than that, the five castes are simply categorized, and it is the so-called "sub-castes" that really dominate the lives of Indians (Hindu believers). And "sub-caste" is linked to occupation, that is, the biggest role of the caste system is the hereditary occupation, and then the fixation of social hierarchy.
In other words, the basis of social hierarchy is hereditary occupation. Caste solidifies not only class, but even occupation. It divides Indians into "occupational clusters", each with a subcaste, which has been engaged in the same or similar occupation for generations.
For example, Bose's caste corresponds to a profession such as "court scribe" (clerical and the like), and his father became a famous barrister - in the eyes of Indians, lawyers and scribes are not too far apart, both are related to clerical work, so the elder Bose can work as a lawyer. If Bowes's caste corresponds to digging (Dartley's subcaste does this), then he is finished, his father can't be a lawyer who can make a lot of money, and he won't have the opportunity to go to Cambridge and deal with stinking for the rest of his life!
Therefore, without the complete abolition of caste, Indians can only treat life and destiny passively, reincarnation decides everything, and personal struggle is almost impossible. Such a nation, even if it is numbered to hundreds of millions, cannot have a bright future.
So caste must be abolished! But it is not easy to abolish caste, because it is a culture and tradition that is etched into the marrow of the Indian people, and it cannot be abolished with a few legal documents.
"We, the Bolsheviks, have already figured out a way!" Schurak told Bose with great confidence that "the caste system will soon be eradicated, completely eradicated!" ā
"Oh? What are you going to do? ā
"We will learn from the USSR and introduce the ingredient system in the People's Republic of India."
"Ingredient? How? "Bowes had heard of the "composition" and knew that it was a scientific method of categorizing human beings, which was not known to be much superior to the caste system.
"In the future, all Indians will forever get rid of the backward caste and be replaced by advanced elements. Each person will have an ingredient based on their own performance or family background. And the quality of the ingredients will have a huge impact on a person's life. ā
The Brahmin revolutionary Shurak pointed to himself, "I, for example, will no longer be a reactionary and backward Brahmin caste, but will become a progressive revolutionary cadre, and at the same time will have a sub-component, a revolutionary leader."
Those comrades who joined the BJA and the Indian Bolshevik Party, regardless of whether their original caste was Kshatriya or not, now had a revolutionary military or cadre component, and a sub-component was assigned according to the positions they held. For example, commanders, senior commanders, political workers, senior political workers, and so on among the revolutionary soldiers.
In addition to the revolutionary cadres and revolutionary soldiers, there will also be ordinary cadres, ordinary soldiers, workers, peasants, clerks, small proprietors, rich peasants, landlords, capitalists, bad elements, anti-GM elements, and so on, as well as many more sub-elements......"
