In this era, only China and the common people in China's sphere of influence can drink juice, Britain, the United States and other countries can only drink the wealthy, ordinary poor people in India don't even know what "juice" is, the girl tasted it gently, her eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and quickly drank a whole glass of juice, and then raised her head with the cup up, waiting for the juice hanging on the wall of the cup to flow down.

Lin Yuan's plastering and Zheng file rout, the tyrant figurines hang Huai!

The girl drank three cups in a row, and then she drank enough, and returned the cup to the warrior on the side, Lin Yuan decided not to go straight to the point first, and interrogated her What kind of method the British used to deceive them, but planned to take a detour and start with some ordinary little things, so Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What's your name?" How old is this year? ”

The girl whispered, "My name is 'Purglish,' and I am seventeen years old. ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "How old are your children?" ”

The girl showed a hint of joy on her face and said, "Two are two years old, and one is less than a year old." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Why did the person behind you kick you when you were outside just now?" ”

"I went ahead of him, I can't go ahead of him, so he taught me a lesson, and he did the right thing, don't blame him." ”

Paglish's words were all translated by Zhang Han to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard these words, and said to Zhang Han: "Old Zhang, did you translate it wrong?" ”

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "No, how can the translation be wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed at the girl and asked, "Then what do her words mean?" ”

Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "Do you remember what I just said?" I say they don't wear shoes probably not because they can't afford them. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Of course I remember, I just wanted to ask what was going on, and she started crying, and I was interrupted by her crying, why did you say that?" What the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Han said: "You know the caste system in India, right? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Of course you know, there are four major castes in India, from the highest to the lowest, they are the Brahmins, the Kshatri, the Vaishyas and the Shudras. ”

Zhang Han said: "Yes, this caste system was first created in the Aryan period, changed during the Mauryan Dynasty, and finally established in the Gupta Dynasty and the Ring Sun Dynasty. ”

"These people are considered to be creatures abandoned by the gods, I say 'creatures', not 'people', in the eyes of high-caste Indians, they are not 'people' at all, and even contact with these people will be punished severely, I once saw a case where a high-caste woman was stripped naked in public, dragged to a river to bathe in a river for giving the 'untouchable' a glass of water, and was dragged to a temple to be whipped until the woman was beaten to death."

"These untouchables are also not able to participate in social life in the same way as the high-caste people, who have made a special set of rules for them to show their lowliness, one of which is that they cannot wear shoes."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "You mean to say that these people are untouchable?" ”

Zhang Han nodded and said, "I haven't asked in detail yet, but I think so." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Since they are all untouchables, why did that man still kick her?" Why can't she get ahead of that man? ”

Zhang Han said: "This is also related to the caste system, in the Aryan era, there were only four castes and untouchable people in India, and by the time of the Mauryan Dynasty, the Mauryan Dynasty was an era in Indian history, about the same as the late Warring States period in China. ”

"In the Mauryan era, castes were further subdivided, and many subcastes were divided, some of which were distinguished by occupation and some by place of residence, and by the time of the King of the Ring of the Sun, which was equivalent to the period of the Tang Dynasty, the subdivision of castes was fixed until this era."

"There are subcastes of high and low within each caste, and the same is true for the untouchables, some castes are high, some are low, and there are so many of these castes that even India's own scholars can't figure it out, people with high castes often bully people from low castes, and gain a sense of superiority from them, how cruel is this oppression, and people from high castes can get the body of a low-caste woman with a handful of rice!"

"The man who kicked her was probably a high-caste person among the untouchables, and he got angry when he saw her as a low-caste person walking in front of him, so he kicked her."

Lin Yuan then asked: "But what does it mean that she apologized to the man after she was kicked, and asked me not to blame the man?" ”

Zhang Han said: "This is going to involve Indian religion, Indians generally believe in Hinduism, we Chinese are influenced by the Tang monks in "Journey to the West", thinking that Indians believe in Buddhism, in fact, it is not right, Indian Buddhism declined in China's Song and Yuan dynasties, completely replaced by Hinduism. ”

"The core of Hinduism is two - 'karma' and 'reincarnation', 'karma' is a thing that people do, and 'reincarnation' is reincarnation, simply put, suffering in this life, you can enjoy happiness in the next life, so people of the lower castes enjoy it, thinking that tolerance in this life can be exchanged for happiness in the next life. So this Paglish apologized after being kicked by that man, and begged you not to blame him. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "So that's the case, I really didn't expect it." ”

Zhang Han laughed and said: "Of course, India is like this in this era, and it is also like this in our era, they all dare to grab territory with us when they are like this, and they dare to support the independence of the Western Plateau Province, by the way, I just mentioned the history of the period of the King of the Sun, and the Indians themselves have no written records at all." ”

"In our time, when world scholars want to understand the history of that era in India, they all look at Chinese historical materials, such as Tang Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which is regarded as a treasure by Indian historians around the world, and "The Records of the Buddha's Kingdom" by the Tang Dynasty monk Fa Xian, which has also been widely translated."

"There are many periods of Indian history that only the Chinese have recorded, and if there is no Book of Later Han? Chronicles of the Western Regions", Indians don't know that there was a Kushan Dynasty in their history, and if there was no Tang Dynasty envoy Song Yun to India, Indians would not know that they had been invaded by a Hun group! ”

"Let's just say it, without us Chinese, Indians don't even know their own history!"
