(1) The Origin of the Caste System Before the establishment of the Caste System, the Dravidas, the original inhabitants of India, were not equal, but they were not as hierarchical as they were later. With the decline of the ancient Indian race, Aryan, a new Caucasian race, flooded into Punjab in the middle reaches of the Indus River through the mountain pass in northwest India. They first conquered the indigenous Dravida people in southern India, and then conquered the whole northern India after centuries of military expansion.
Aryans invaded India.
After the Aryans conquered India, due to the small number of ethnic groups, in order to ensure their ruling power and there were enough people in all walks of life for them to drive, the caste system was established. In other words, the Aryans' original intention of establishing the caste system was not to divide people into three or six classes and high or low. However, with the foreign Islamic conquerors such as Mamluk and Mongols ruling India, the caste system has been constantly adjusted with the needs of the rulers. In the end, the caste system becomes a rigid hierarchy.
(2) The four grades under the Indian caste system The Indian caste system divides people into four grades, namely Brahman, Khrushchev, Veda, Dhara and Dapu Zhengsu. Some people may wonder: it is clearly written about five kinds of people, why is it divided into four grades? Because in the Indian mind, the lowest person is sudra. As for arriving at Park Jung-soo, it can only be regarded as a pariah, not even the people. The system between these four levels is strict. Once it is determined, it will be attacked from generation to generation and will never change. Moreover, the four grades have strict regulations on status, rights, occupations and obligations.
The highest-ranking Brahmins are mainly monks and nobles, who are in charge of religion and education in India and enjoy the privilege of explaining religious classics and offering sacrifices to gods. This group of people have been fed since they were born, living a life of reaching for clothes and eating with their mouths open. Many people meditate all their lives and are parasites in India. In addition, they also enjoy many privileges, such as not paying taxes, not being sentenced to death for committing serious crimes, and even exchanging money and land use rights for the bottom people through compulsory blessing.
Four classes under the caste system in India
Khrushchev's second level, this level of people in charge of India's military and political power, so military nobles and administrative nobles were born from Khrushchev. They enjoy the privilege of collecting all kinds of taxes, but they are also listeners of Brahmin thought. Holding the military and political power, they need to protect the Brahmins at the next higher level from generation to generation.
The monastery at the third level is the ordinary people in India. These people are engaged in business and all kinds of ordinary jobs, and they have no political privileges. They need to support Brahmins and Khrushchev by giving alms and paying taxes.
Sudra, the fourth class, is also an Indian inferior. The vast majority of people in this class are conquered aborigines in India, not Aryans. They are usually engaged in low-end jobs such as servants and craftsmen, and are the most populous caste in India. And from the moment they were born, they were doomed to work for the latter three classes, and they could not change their destiny for life.
Class division under caste system
In addition to the above four grades, there is also an untouchable who is regarded as "untouchable" by Indians. This kind of person is "Park Jung-soo" mentioned in the bread. Their status is lower than that of sudra, and they can only do the lowest-level work, such as digging shit, which has been done for generations. This group of people can't draw water from the well in the village, and children must go to special schools even if they go to school. When walking on the road, Dapu Zhengzhu people should avoid people with four tastes and don't let their own shadows fall on passers-by. There are also some people who go out with brooms and sweep footprints while walking.
(3) Harm under the caste system There is a complete "contempt chain" among Indians, that is, Brahmins and Shatri despise Vedas, Vedas despise Dhara, and Dhara despise Dapu Zhengsu. As for Da Park Yung-soo, he is already a "pariah" and can only despise each other. In daily life, low-level people can't resist high-level people, let alone shoot high-level people. Therefore, there are frequent rape cases in India, and the female victims of rape are usually Veda, sudra and Dapu Zhengzhu with low status.
Indian bottom women
In the view of some Brahmins and men in Khrushchev, their sexual assault on women with low status is not rape, but a "gift". In addition, under the current national conditions in India, low-level female victims can't sue high-level male criminals, so they have to swallow their words, which also aggravates the outbreak of rape cases in India. In daily life and work, high-level Indians are always bossing around, while low-level sudra doesn't even dare to look at them, just like "blood pressure" in the novel.
(4) The roots of the caste system that cannot be eliminated India's caste system has a history of more than 3,000 years. In this long history, why doesn't anyone want to try to break it? It is mainly caused by the following reasons. First, the influence of religious thought. India's caste system originated from Hinduism, which is a comprehensive product of Brahmanism, Buddhism and Jainism, as well as folk beliefs, customs and philosophy. In Hindu teachings, people are divided into high and low, because you didn't do good things in your last life, so you will suffer in this life. The first-class Brahman can enjoy today's honor and status because of his good deeds in his last life. What people at the bottom have to do is to atone in this life and vote for a higher level in the afterlife. Being baptized by this idea for a long time, the people at the bottom of India naturally think that their status is "well deserved".
