Master Doctor in the City

Chapter 3909: : Caste

Mumbai is hailed as Shanghai of China by the Indians. Ye Chen and Li Feiyi took a plane to the Mumbai International Airport. When they got off from the airport, they found that there were indeed a lot of people here. As for whether it was really like Shanghai, Ye Chen didn’t know how. describe.

A group of people came out of the airport, and someone had already come to pick them up.

The person who came to pick them up was Garawa, an Indian businessman who represented the Chinese medicine factory.

"Doctor Ye, hello, my name is Garawa." A middle-aged man who was wearing a suit, but his skin looked a little dark and looked a bit like an Arab, was already waiting here.

The other party was holding that piece of paper with Ye Chen's name written on it.

In India, the status of doctors is quite high, especially some doctors engaged in Western medicine, so the other party directly called Ye Chen a doctor.

Of course, the other party did not know that Ye Chen was the real boss of the Chinese medicine factory.

"Hello, Garawa." Ye Chen reached out and shook hands with each other.

The other party knows how to speak Chinese, but there is no barrier to communication.

The Garawa family is engaged in business, and the drug agency business is relatively wealthy in India. Now the two commercial vehicles he asked the bodyguard to drive were enough to catch Ye Chen and them all.

"Garrava, are you arranging for us to stay in a hotel?"

In fact, Ye Chen wanted to arrange the accommodation himself. Of course, he wanted to investigate the situation with Li Feiyi and the others.

Of course, with Garava’s help now, that’s definitely different.

"Doctor Ye, no, my family has its own house in Mumbai."

This Garava said it was very proud.

After all, in the eyes of many Indians, Mumbai is like Shanghai in China. It is indeed not easy to own a house in Shanghai.

After getting on the commercial vehicle, the bodyguard drove away from here, Garawa said: "Doctor Ye, my family has lived in Mumbai for generations and has its own mansion."

"Then your family is Brahmin or Kshatriya?"

"No, our family is just Vaisha."

Speaking of India, it must be related to their caste system.

The caste system is a kind of pedigree-based social system that once prevailed in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other countries. Among them, India is the most serious.

The caste system centers on the ruling class and divides many occupation-based internal marriage groups, namely castes. The various surnames are divided into many sub-castes according to the different areas where they live. These sub-castes are then divided into many settlement castes according to the different settlements in which they live. These settlement castes are finally divided into clans with different lines of extramarital system, and so on. , Integrated into a social system scattered throughout the Indian subcontinent.

Therefore, the caste system covers the vast majority of groups in Indian society and is closely related to the Indian social system, cosmology, religion, and interpersonal relationship. It can be said to be the most important social system and norm in traditional India.

It was originally a social system created by the Aryans in India.

The original caste system is not to divide the class and the ranks of people, but to ensure that the Aryans are in power and maintain a certain number of jobs.

However, as foreign conquerors such as Mamluk and Mogual ruled India, the caste system has undergone many adjustments for political power. During the British India period, it was fixed and rigid to meet the needs of the colonists, and became a strict class. Order system.

Because the inequality in this system is very different from the democratic system and ideology that emerged in the modern West, it is often criticized as an anti-modern backward system and even regarded as a cancer that hinders the progress of Indian society.

After India became independent from the colonial system in 1947, the legal status of the caste system was formally abolished, and various caste classifications and discrimination were regarded as illegal. However, it still plays a very important role in the actual social operation and life.

The Indian caste system originated from Hinduism, also known as the Varna system, which was formed in the late Vedic era and has a history of more than 3,000 years.

This system divides people into four levels, namely Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaisha, Sudra and Dalit.

A picture of Varna grades based on the "Rigveda: Primitive Song": Brahman is the mouth of the primitive, Kshatriya is the arms of the primitive, the Vaisha is the thigh of the primitive, and the Sudra is the primitive Human feet. As for the untouchables, they are excluded from the body of the primitive people.

It is the most typical and strictest hierarchical system in the ancient world, and the various hierarchies under the caste system have been in succession for generations.

The four levels have strict regulations on status, rights, occupations, duties, etc.: The first level of Brahmins is mainly monks and nobles. They have the privilege of interpreting religious scriptures and worshipping gods and the right to enjoy sacrifices. The main education, the audience Kshatriya, are responsible. Monopoly cultural education and reporting on farming seasons and interpretation of religious discourse.

The second level of Kshatriya is the military aristocracy and administrative aristocracy, the audience of Brahmin thought, they have the privilege of collecting various taxes, and they are in charge of the army and are responsible for guarding the Brahmin class for life.

The third class Vaisha is an ordinary Aryan, and has no political privileges. The first two classes must be supported in the form of charity and taxation, and the main business is.

Most of the fourth-level Sudras are conquered aboriginals and belong to non-Aryans. They are composed of senior servants and craftsmen who serve meals and cooks. They are the most populous caste.

Considered a lowly occupation. In the caste system, the offspring of both parents from different castes are called hybrid castes.

Ye Chen knew that when he came to India, he was afraid that his contact this time must have something to do with them.

Although he had checked before coming, when he asked Garava now, Garawa had a deeper understanding of these things.

"Doctor Ye, this surname system has been in India for thousands of years, and it has always existed, even now."

For these, Ye Chen is not good at commenting.

However, he asked: "Who is producing the fake and inferior proprietary Chinese medicines? Who are they selling to?"

"Doctor Ye, this is difficult to investigate clearly. As for whom to sell to, this is generally an ordinary person, that is, Sudra."

If it is those Kshatriya who are rich, they really buy genuine products.

They will not buy fake and inferior products like those sold in the outside market.

"Do they have a low income?"

"It's relatively low."

Garawa said embarrassedly.

However, it is definitely much lower than Ye Chen imagined. These people may have a daily income of less than ten yuan, and their income in a month is only two to three hundred yuan.

"Then go back and talk about it."

Drive to the Mumbai mansion where Garawa lives.

This mansion is not like what Ye Chen imagined. It is actually a three-story house in the old town of Mumbai, which looks a bit old on the outside.

However, when I parked the car and entered inside, I found that it was decorated with magnificent decoration. It looked like it was decorated with gold and jewels and jade, which looked very luxurious.
