Chapter 32: The Wise Man

In contrast, the content of the conversation between Mr. Sanyi and Mr. Johar on the other side was a little more valuable, and Mr. Sanghi first asked: "Johar, you also asked for a census there, right?" ”

Johar took a sip of wine, and then complained: "Of course I asked, but I don't think this kind of thing makes any sense, I can tell how many Vaishyas and Shudras there are in the village, but who knows how many untouchables there are, who wants to investigate such dirty things?" Eventually, I made up a random number and reported it. By the way, how did you do that, Sangyi? ”

"Like you, it's also reported indiscriminately, those untouchables seem to do nothing all day, they are busy giving birth, and the children start to have children when they are ten years old, so in the end, who knows how many there are." Sang Yi said as he cut the pork chops.

In India, untouchables are not regarded as human beings, and their gathering places are generally not willing to go, so when doing demographic statistics, the number of untouchables is almost not counted in detail, and the statistics are only an approximate number, so in fact, the population of India is much higher than the official figures, in fact, this is also the case in China, many remote areas and urban black households, are not included in the scope of the census.

Shakru on the side asked with some confusion: "If such untouchables are so poor, why do they have so many children?" Can they afford it? And why did they all get married so early? Isn't it good for your body to give birth so early? ”

Johar laughed and said: "Mr. Pandit, you just don't know, for these untouchables, having children is a matter of earning and not losing, children can help take care of their younger siblings when they are four or five years old, and they can work with them when they are older, and if it is a girl, they can still be sent to the temple to make money, what a good thing, and their only entertainment all day long is that little thing at night, so naturally there will be many children."

As for getting married early, there is no way, think about it, a dilapidated hut of less than ten square meters lives in more than ten parents and children, where can you live separately if you don't get married early? And the child has watched his parents do that kind of thing every night since he was a child, and when his body matures, he will inevitably try to do it, rather than letting his daughter be taken advantage of before marriage, it is better to marry her off as soon as possible, so as not to marry because of the loss of innocence. ”

"In that case, why don't they go to big cities like New Delhi and Mumbai to work, shouldn't that life be a little better than now?" Shakru asked, still puzzled.

This time, Mr. Sanyi explained to Shakru: "You are less poor in New Delhi and Mumbai, right?" The number of poor people in the slums over there is definitely far greater than you think, and how can that little work not be enough to support them, so how can it be left for the untouchables from outside? Two years ago, some untouchables in my village went to the big city to try their luck, only to be beaten back by the locals! ”

Shakru couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, in the end, we have too few factories in India, if there are many, many factories, then we need a lot of workers, so that these Dalits have the opportunity to work, and their lives will not be so miserable." ”

Unexpectedly, Sang Yi asked meaningfully: "Little Shakru, do you think that there are so many smart people in our India, didn't anyone think of this before?" But why haven't there been any large factory clusters? Think about it! ”

In fact, the answer to this question is that Shakru himself knows that under this system in India, vested interests (landlords) control economic circulation through various means, and then control class circulation. Although some people have made various efforts to break through this limitation, the number is too small and the mainstream ideology is not promoted to have an impact on society and lead others.

As an agrarian Indian society, if you control the land, you control the fundamentals, and the industry is not developed enough, and it is impossible to liberate the labor force. In fact, if the industry is developed enough and can absorb enough labor, it will also be able to impact this old economic system, but India does not develop industry but directly develops the service industry, and the reason for this is self-evident!

Related to this is the policy of non-outflow of arable land, which is one of the most thorough and resolute regulations enforced in India. The general idea is that even if the landlords want to sell their land and farmers, they can only sell it to the upper castes, and they are not allowed to sell it to the lower castes, let alone to foreigners, because they are afraid that once the foreigners get the land, they will build new farms, and once this phenomenon spreads, it will cause a powerful impact and destruction on the grassroots society of the whole India!

It can be seen that India is not without smart people, but they are all too smart, so they will only choose the most suitable system for themselves instead of the most advanced system!

Although he knew the answer, Shakru was still not in a good mood, he had neither the attributes of the Virgin, nor had he ever regarded himself as an Indian, but he was just looking at everything that was unreasonable in front of him with a sad attitude of spectatorship, so he said hello to Sami and Johar, and went out alone.

Before he knew it, he had walked near the untouchable gathering place in the village, and it was already evening, and everyone was supposed to go home to eat or rest, but there were two drunken young men shouting next to an adobe house, and when he listened carefully to their words, Shakru was immediately surprised!

I heard a drunken young man shouting, "Supra, come out quickly, if you serve our brothers well tonight, I can give you 50 rupees, which is 50 rupees, which is ten times higher than other Dalit women!" ”

And from the room came a woman's panicked crying voice: "Please, I have a husband, I won't do that kind of thing no matter how many rupees you give me, you better go find someone else!" ”

When the other young man heard this, he threw the wine bottle on the ground and said angrily: "Supra, don't be embarrassed, you untouchable woman, we can take a fancy to you is your blessing, you dare not give us face, are you not afraid that we will burn down your broken house?" ”

"I'm not going out if I'm burned to death!"
