"Shakru, you really should think about this matter, as long as you are willing to agree to this marriage, not only your arrears can be written off, but Buhat's family is willing to pay a dowry of 50,000 US dollars, this is 50,000 US dollars, equivalent to 2.5 million rupees, you can only receive 3,000 rupees a month from the temple, which is equivalent to your subsidy for six or seven years, and people have said that even after marriage, you can still receive funding from Buhat's family, where can you find such a good thing?"

Aunt Asali said excitedly. At this time, Shakru was full of helplessness and depression, he also knew that Aunt Ashari had good intentions, but he still couldn't accept this kind of thing, of course, there were other reasons, but the most important thing was that he was not Indian at all.

In fact, he traveled from China in 2016 to the body of this eighteen-year-old Indian boy, probably because Shaklu's father died of illness, and Shakru Jr. couldn't stand the blow, so he didn't come up in one breath, and then I don't know what happened Downing, who was in a car accident in China in 2016, crossed over to him. Fortunately, Shakru encountered this kind of thing, so the strange performance that Tang Ning had just crossed over was mistaken by others for the situation caused by the fact that he couldn't bear the pain of losing his father for a while.

Speaking of which, Tangning was quite lucky, not only could he continue to live, but also had a young and handsome body, and most importantly, the owner of this body, Shakru Pandit, was very noble, belonging to the highest class of Brahmins according to the caste system.

Although the Indian government announced the abolition of unreasonable systems such as the caste system as early as 1947, in fact, the caste system still exists in Indian society, and because this system has been going through 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.

According to Hindu teachings, the devotees are roughly divided into four classes, the first class is the most honorable Brahmin, who is responsible for interpreting the scriptures and making sacrifices, and belongs to the monk class, that is, those who are responsible for moving the mouth; The second class was the Kshatriyas, who belonged to the warrior class and were in charge of administration and warfare, that is, those who were in charge of hands-on; The third class is the Vaishyas, i.e., the common people, who are responsible for basic work such as farming, animal husbandry, fishing, and hunting, and they have no political rights, but they must use labor or donations to support the upper two ranks, that is, those who move their legs; The fourth class is that the Shudras are poor people who are engaged in more menial jobs, that is, those who are trampled under their feet. In addition, there is also a class of untouchables known as the "untouchables", who can only do the most menial jobs such as slaughtering livestock, disposing of corpses, cleaning toilets, etc., and are not allowed to have any contact with high-ranking people, otherwise they will be punished. These classes are hereditary, and there is generally no opportunity to change them.

Therefore, in India, being able to be reincarnated into a Brahmin family is a great creation, because not only is your status noble, but even if you are not engaged in production and are idle all day long, you can go to the local temple and receive your own offerings on a monthly basis, although these foods and money are not very much, but they are enough to maintain the normal life of a family. (It's a bit like the hardcore crops of the Eight Flags)

Shaklu's family is like this, his father and grandfather are lazy, so they didn't save any money, and his father's serious illness not only cost all the family's savings, but also owed a large amount of foreign debt, and little Shakru also died of grief because of this, and was picked up by Tangning to take a cheap, and Aunt Ashari also seized the great opportunity of Shakru's family to come to propose.

In India, in addition to the racial system, there is also a very strange system, which is the marriage system. In China and most places, it is the man who comes to pay the bride price, and even the bride price in many places is sky-high, such as some areas in the north before Downing crossed, the bride price is a house and a car plus hundreds of thousands of cash. In India, however, the opposite is true, where the bride is paid, and the amount of the dowry is about the same as the Chinese bride price, or even exceeding. The logic of the Indians is this: I will raise your daughter for a lifetime in the future, and you must not give me some compensation, otherwise how can your daughter have a good life in the future? Therefore, although India also has more men than women, it is a curse to have daughters.

Another reason for this phenomenon is actually because of the racial system. In India, if you are a member of the Vaishyya, then no matter how much money you make, your social status cannot be improved, you still can't enjoy the treatment of high-class people, and you still have to be courteous and avoid high-class people, so many Vaishyas or Shudras are eager to improve their class status, and one of the easiest ways to achieve this is marriage. (In ancient times, there could be a state lord or a king to promote the caste of his subordinates, but now that the government has announced the abolition of the caste system, it is naturally impossible to follow this path.) This is similar to the flag raising in the Qing Dynasty. ）

According to Hindu teachings, a man of a higher class can marry a woman of a lower class, and the children born in this way also belong to the high class. If a woman of a higher class marries a man of a lower class, her children will still be of the lower class, and if the difference between the two classes is too large, she will be expelled from the family and beaten as a pariah. Therefore, many low-class families want to marry their daughters to high-class men, so as to change their own status, and high-class girls can only marry high-class or same-class men in order to maintain their own status, so high-class unmarried men are extremely sought-after. Under this kind of competition, in order to make up for the class gap and improve competitiveness, low-class families can only greatly increase the amount of dowry, and even are willing to continue to provide financial support to the man after marriage.

Little Shakru not only belongs to the highest level of Brahmins, but also has a handsome appearance and appropriate age, so he has long been remembered by many families, but Shakru's father resolutely does not allow his son to marry a low-class daughter-in-law, and Shakru is not very old, so he has never married. Now that Shakru's father is dead, and he is eighteen years old enough to marry a wife, the matchmakers all pounce. Among these relatives, the Buhat family is the most generous, not only providing a house, but also willing to give a dowry of 50,000 US dollars, which shows the urgency of its promotion class (50,000 US dollars in 1990 is equivalent to at least one million US dollars now), but Shakru has no intention of agreeing, first, as a Chinese who has just crossed over, he cannot accept this kind of marriage of the nature of trading, and second, he has seen this Miss Buhatt, which is really ugly
