Chapter 30: The Goddess

The title goddess is an honorific title in other countries and regions, but in India it means something different. Here, instead of being an honorific title, the goddess is the most notorious vice in Hinduism.

In the name of the gods, the monks of the temple brought girls from poor families into the temple, nominally to marry them to the gods, but in fact most of them would become the "private property" of the monks and believers, at their disposal. When needed, they will also be reduced to X slaves, or eventually become "skilled women" (harmonic words are not allowed to be written, just simplify the content in quotation marks). These girls are generally not more than 15 years old when they become "goddesses", and some are even less than 10 years old, and once they become "goddesses", they cannot marry for life. In the temple, they suffer all kinds of tortures, and when they are old, they are often resold or abandoned by the temple, and they are in a miserable situation.

According to Indian media, many tech girls in many red light districts such as Mumbai and Goa have been born as "goddesses". In recent years, various states in India have enacted laws that outlaw the organization of girls to join the "goddesses". In reality, however, the law has only allowed such activities to go underground, especially in parts of northern Karnataka, where the practice is still being secretly transformed. In some poor families, patriarchal parents hope that sending their daughters away will bring good luck to the family, and on the other hand, they believe that their daughters can find their own happiness by marrying the gods.

And AIDS is quite prevalent among the "goddesses", the more literary translation is "a bunch of grapes", once the goddess is infected, every man who has X contact with her will also be infected, and then it will be transmitted to their wives, the reason for this, on the one hand, is that the goddess system is semi-public and cheap, so many men will patronize it, and on the other hand, because in India, the use of condoms is considered a huge insult.

In order to control population growth and prevent AIDS, the Government of India has distributed many condoms free of charge every year, but in fact, only 20 per cent of the condoms are used for contraception, and the rest are used for commercial purposes other than contraception. In urban areas, private builders buy condoms in large quantities and mix them with concrete and asphalt to build roads. The report notes that the latex component contained in condoms can make roads smoother and prevent cracks.

Engineering builders also spread condoms under the cement slabs of the roof when carrying out roof waterproofing works, so that when heat is transferred to the condoms, the condoms will naturally expand to form a waterproof layer.

In addition, condoms are widely used in the traditional Indian costume "sari" (a coat worn mainly by Indian or Pakistani women, woven from a length of light cloth, one end of which hangs around the waist to form a skirt and the other end hangs down from the shoulders or covers the head), and garment manufacturers use lubricant-coated condoms to wipe the gold decoration of the "sari". Sari's manufacturers used to use wax oil to wipe these decorations, but the wax had to be heated and melted before it could be used, and in cold weather, the wax would quickly solidify. Clothing manufacturers say they started using condoms to rub down their decorations with lubricant, and the job became easy, convenient and effective. (How about it, the third brother's brain hole is big enough, it's weird enough!) )

Unexpectedly, Su Lan was very unimpressed by Sha Klu's answer: "What's the matter, none of the men in the village have ever been there, and I will go the day after tomorrow." ”

As soon as he heard that Su Lan was also going, Sha Kru suddenly opened his mouth wide in shock: "What? You're going to find the goddess too? ”

"No, no, I'm not going to find the goddess, how can I be a girl to find the goddess, but the day after tomorrow is the big day for the Gujarat temple to auction the goddess, and the temple will be very lively at that time, and people from all the nearby villages will come by then." With Su Lan's hurried explanation, Sha Kelu gradually understood what she meant, in fact, this is similar to the Chinese temple fair, except that there is a project in this temple fair that attracts all men, that is, the auction of the goddess, of course, it does not mean that if you auction the goddess, she will be yours, all you get is her ******.

For such a big bustle, Shakru naturally will not miss it, because this kind of thing can only be seen in the countryside, in big cities like New Delhi and Mumbai, it will never happen, of course, he just wants to join in the fun, and he will never participate in this kind of auction.

However, it was obvious that Mr. Sang did not believe Shakru's words, and he laughed and said: "Haha, it turns out that Mr. Pandit, you are also good for this, no problem, I happen to know the priest of the temple, and when the time comes, let him save the best for you, so you don't have to compete with those guys for the auction, but you can't let the family suffer in terms of price!" ”

Shakru explained again and again: "Don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean that, I was just curious and wanted to join in the fun!" ”

Sang Yi still smiled and said: "Well, I know you are curious, it is true that you will never see this kind of auction in Delhi, but if you see the right one, don't miss it, you must know that the Gujarati temple is famous for its kung fu in training goddesses, and the goddesses there are sent to the temple before the age of five, trained and cultivated by special personnel, each goddess's kung fu is quite powerful, and it will definitely make you want to go to the second time if you go once, and many hotels in Mumbai and Kolkata are specially here to hire goddesses with high salaries." ”

Before going, Sang Yi also deliberately asked Shakru to popularize science, so as not to make jokes because he was not familiar with the situation, and it only costs 100 rupees to serve the goddess here once, but if you bid for the goddess for the first time, it will cost at least 20,000 rupees, and some goddesses with particularly moving postures can even reach 40,000 rupees. The man who wins the bid can enjoy the goddess for hours, days, or even weeks, but sooner or later he has to send it back.

According to local customs, the first income of the goddess is unlucky, so after the first guest leaves, the money must be spent, usually they use this income to buy jewelry for themselves or their families, and also hold a feast, slaughter sheep and raise wine to entertain relatives and friends, worship the gods, because once the girl loses the first time, she can never marry again, so this feast is her "night of no marriage." ”

PS: In 2013, there was an Indian film "VARA" that caused a sensation at the Busan Film Festival, which tells the story of an Indian goddess, you can go and see it, there are many things that I am inconvenient to write about.
