ps: I went out with my children for a day today, I just came back, and now I'm updating to keep everyone waiting, sorry!

The main plane Earth, the South Asian subcontinent India.

In 2013, India's population exceeded 1.2 billion and is still growing at a rate of 15.5 million per year. At this rate, by 2045, India's population will surpass Yan Huang to become the world's largest population. However, there is a problem here, India's land area is about 3.2 million square kilometers, and the area is only one-third of the 9.6 million square kilometers of Yanhuang's land.

From the perspective of food supply, although India has a small land area, it does not have the western part of the country with high mountains and the central region with a relatively harsh natural environment. In terms of arable land area alone, India's arable land still exceeds the 1.8 billion mu of arable land in Yanhuang. Yanhuang has a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, but only 13% is cultivated land, that is, about 1.28 million square kilometers; India has a land area of 3.2 million, but more than 55% of it is arable land, or 1.65 million square kilometers. Moreover, it is located in the tropics and subtropics, the solar sun is abundant, the crops grow rapidly, and the unit production capacity of arable land is much stronger than that of temperate countries, so India is a major grain exporter every year. From this point of view, God loves India so much!

However, a good foundation does not mean that everything is OK, because of the implementation of Western "democratic politics" in India, the result is not only the birth of many "political families" and "military families", resulting in many parliamentarians' descendants are parliamentarians, businessmen's descendants are businessmen, and the descendants of the poor are poor.

In India, there is a strong contrast between the speed of development and the infrastructure, there is no decent highway in India, and the infrastructure of Delhi Airport is only equivalent to the level of a railway station in a prefecture-level city in China; Economic growth contrasts sharply with the poor. The number of people living in extreme poverty reached 450 million, which is estimated according to the latest poverty line published by the World Bank, that is, the daily income is less than $1.25, and of course the corresponding figure is about 254 million (which is not less). But the most bizarre thing is not these, but the caste system in India.

In India, the caste system has its origins in its "state religion", Hinduism, which divides people into four different classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Brahmins, or the monk class, are the first caste with the highest status, engaged in cultural education and sacrifices. The Kshatriyas, or warrior class, were the second caste, second only to the Brahmins, and were responsible for administration and warfare. Vaishyas are commoners, a third caste, who trade in commerce. The Shudras are the fourth caste and have the lowest status, and are engaged in agriculture and various manual and handicraft labors. At the same time, in India, various castes have given rise to many sub-castes (or sub-castes, sub-castes).

In addition, in addition to the above 4 castes, there is also a type of people who are excluded from the caste, the so-called "untouchable untouchables", also known as "Dalits". Most of the Hindu Dalits are married to people of different classes or inter-caste marriages and their descendants. In India, regardless of the original caste of both men and women, if one of them is a Dalit, his descendants are untouchables and become untouchable. Untouchables are considered too dirty to be considered "human". Dalits make up 25% of India's total population. Before India's independence, untouchables had absolutely no access to education and no qualifications. Even now in the 21st century, untouchables are not allowed to wear shoes on the streets of India and must stand anywhere, even if there are many empty seats around. Even in many parts of India, untouchables are denied the right to work by the local society, and can only live by begging every day.

Shahabpur village, eastern region of Uttar Pradesh, India.

At 5 a.m., Sara was sleeping on a light bed propped up outside the hut. Sara himself and his family have been engaged in leather manufacturing in India for hundreds of years, as Hinduism stipulates that his family is limited to this profession. Because the Sara family belonged to the tanning caste, one of the dozens of castes in Indian history that practiced lowly or "unclean" occupations, the Sara family belonged to the "untouchables", i.e. the untouchable class.

Sarah's family of five is usually crammed into two adobe huts. The hut is surrounded by an uncultivated wasteland where human and animal droppings are everywhere. Sarah's wife, Sushla, was engaged in another "unclean" job - delivering babies to the village. In India, midwives are despised by Hindus for being dirty because they come into contact with the placenta.

Now the sky was slightly bright, and the branches above Sarah's head were shadowy, and a clumsy crow woke up and jumped between the branches, making the branches rustle and waking Sara from sleep. He opened his worried eyes, crept up from his light bed, and passed through a dozen wild dogs curled up and slept, ready to start his busy day.

To support her family, 45-year-old Sara works two jobs. Every morning, he hurried to the shoe repair stall in the Shahappur bazaar to repair shoes. As for the other job, it is to skin dead cattle and sheep. Every evening, when the shoe repair stall was finished, he would pull the carcasses on his pedal tricycle, peel them off, and throw the carcasses to the dingos around him, before selling the simply processed skins and bones to a local dealer. This allows him to earn between 500 and 1,500 rupees (about $11 to $33) a month.

Despite his hard work, because he was a pariah, he often lived in fear that his hating neighbours would set fire to his hut even if he stayed at home. As for the revolt, Sara didn't think about it at all. Due to the government's indifference and ethnic hierarchical habits, not to mention here (in the Indian countryside), even in the larger small and medium-sized cities of India, the untouchables who have been threatened with death will not get much help after reporting to the police, and there are often incidents of a certain untouched family being brutally burned to death in various regions.

It's still early, and before going out, Sara has to do a simple "washing + defecation" job.

Sarah's hut is surrounded by a simple fence of thorns and shrubs. At this moment, he was squatting on the wasteland outside the fence to defecate and defecate. After about a quarter of an hour, after pouring out the "evening primrose" and feeling refreshed, Sara was under the unfriendly gaze of the villagers in blue plaid sarongs and T-shirts. Climbed up to a neem tree next to the hut, then broke off a twig from the tree and slid down. He carefully peeled off the bark and began to knock the branches with his front teeth to soften the ends into a fibrous brush, then began to brush back and forth between his back teeth and gums. Because neem contains a mild bactericidal substance, it has become a toothbrush for tens of millions of poor Indians. After brushing his teeth, he split the branches in the middle and began to scrape the tongue coating with the green part of the inside. When it was all over, Sara naturally tossed the used neem branches and finished the day's oral cleaning. In addition, it should be noted that in the village, the neem tree is considered "public property", so Sara has the right to use it. Of course, other people can come to his house at any time to break branches and brush their teeth.

At this time, Sarah's wife, Sushla, usually started to get out of bed. Years of poverty have long since worn out Sushra's youth and taken away her years. But for this, Sushra not only did not feel regret, but was greatly relieved in his heart.

In Shahabpur, a hierarchical caste system, a higher-caste man could possess a Dalit woman's body for just a few roubles or a handful of rice (according to surveys, up to 40% of non-Dalit men supported this ancient tradition). Even within the "Dalit" group, there is a distinction between high and low, and high-status "Dalits" can bully low-status "Dalits". So before Sushra's youthful beauty faded, she and Sara lived in fear almost every night, because the drunken young man of Patel often kept yelling outside her family's hut, demanding ****.

As early as 1949, as early as 1949, Ambedkar, the leader of India's "untouchables", mercilessly criticized: "What good is a village other than a nest of localism, a cave of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and local autonomy?" ”

This is India, an India with splendid ancient civilizations such as the Taj Mahal; an India with a wealth of modern British Victorian architecture; an India where open defecation is commonplace; an India that sells rock candy that can turn black because flies crawl around, and the buyer still looks like he eats it as usual; an India that buys arms and aircraft carriers in large quantities in order to dominate South Asia; An India of internal and external contradictions.

On January 6, 2014, such a country began to experience a great internal crisis. Last year's Leonid meteor storm destroyed most of Bangalore, and a port facility in India near the east was completely wiped off the face of the earth because it was hit right in the middle by another meteorite fragment! And these are not the worst, after all, no matter how big the disaster loss is, it is only the loss of "points", compared to the 3.2 million square kilometers of India's territory, Ah San can still stand.

However, in the end, the Indian Ocean tsunami caused the entire coastline of India to be attacked and flooded to varying degrees, a large number of port facilities were damaged and devastated, maritime shipping lines were interrupted, and imports and exports were suspended. Industrial blood oil cannot be brought in, and the oil that comes in cannot be refined because of damage to the seaside refinery, and commodities such as grain are either soaked and moldy and damp, or hoarded in the interior of India because of the interruption of transportation. There was a massive disruption of the country's economic network. Coupled with the loss of Bangalore's IT elite and the problems of many domestic software companies, it has been three months since the Leonid meteorstorm in September 2013, and even though India has sent a large number of troops and armed police to the rescue, the entire country's combing and reconstruction work still seems to be far away.

Due to the lack of a sufficient number of helicopters and engineering excavation equipment, many remote villages have not yet waited for rescue, and the whole country is full of pessimism, anger, irritability and depression, like a blast furnace with increasing pressure, which is about to reach the critical point of explosion.

The capital of India, New Delhi.

"Statistics have come up recently for the coastal areas, with more than 40 per cent losses in the three states of Mumbai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad (three of India's five more important industrial regions, all concentrated in the coastal areas, where the British laid a solid foundation before independence) and many factories were badly damaged." Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh muttered to himself with an ugly face holding the summary report.

"Bangalore (Madras-Bangalore Industrial Zone, the fourth most important area) has also lost more than half of its value, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time." Indian Secretary of State Laxman said.

In India, the real power of the government is held by the prime minister, and the State Council under his charge has a secretary of state and several state councilors. But there is no deputy secretary of state.

"In other words, except for Nagpur (India's 'Ruhr Industrial Zone', which accounts for three-quarters of the country's coal and steel production, mainly produces electricity, heavy machinery, chemicals, and non-metallic products, and is a heavy industry base), all other regions have been hit hard."

"Yes, Your Excellency, and now that the post-disaster rescue and reconstruction work in various places is in shambles, and now that the people are very angry, the opposition parties are seizing the opportunity to incite the media to carry out public opinion attacks on us, and we are in a very dangerous situation." Secretary of State Laxman reminded.

"It looks like we need to do something to distract people from the country." Prime Minister Manmohan Singh whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

As a result, a war in the South Asian subcontinent that Wang Fan planned and unexpected began to stage.
