Rebirth of India: Superior

"Shakru, you should really think about this matter. As long as you agree to this marriage, not only will your debt be written off, but the Bhatt family will also be willing to provide a dowry of US$50,000. This But 50,000 US dollars is equivalent to 2.5 million rupees. You can only receive 3,000 rupees a month from the temple, which is equivalent to your subsidy for six or seven years. Moreover, people have said that you can still earn money from cloth even after marriage. Hart’s family receives financial aid, where can such a good thing be found?”

Aunt Ashari said excitedly. At this time, Shakru's face was full of helplessness and depression. He also knew that Aunt Ashari meant well, but he still couldn't accept this kind of thing. Although there were various other reasons for this, the most important thing was Or because he is not Indian at all.

In fact, he traveled from China in 2016 to the body of this 18-year-old Indian boy. It may have been because Shakru's father died of illness at that time, and little Shakru couldn't bear the blow, so he died in one breath. Come up, and somehow Tangning, who was originally involved in a car accident in China in 2016, time-traveled into his body. Fortunately, this was what happened to Shakru, so Tangning's strange behavior just after time travel was misunderstood by others as a situation caused by him being unable to bear the pain of losing his father for a while.

Speaking of which, Tangning is quite lucky. Not only can she continue to live, but she also has a young and handsome body. The most important thing is that the owner of this body, Shakru Pandit, has a very noble status. According to the caste system, she belongs to The highest level of Brahman.

Although the Indian government had announced the abolition of unreasonable systems such as the caste system as early as 1947, in fact the caste system still exists in Indian society, and because this system has existed for more than two thousand years, it has long been introduced into India. It is in the blood of people, especially Hindu believers, so even in modern society, it still exerts an unbelievable influence on outsiders all the time.

According to Hindu teachings, believers are generally divided into four classes. The first class is the most noble Brahmin, who is responsible for interpreting scriptures and performing sacrifices. It belongs to the monk class, that is, the person who is responsible for speaking; the second class is Kshatriya, who belongs to The samurai class, responsible for administration and combat, the hands-on people; The third class is the Vaishyas, who are common people, responsible for basic work such as agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting. They have no political rights, but must use labor or donations to support the two classes above, that is, the people who move the legs; the fourth class is the Sudras For the poor, they work in even more despicable jobs, that is, they are the ones who are stepped on. In addition, there is another class of untouchable Dalits called "untouchables". They can only perform the most menial tasks such as slaughtering livestock, disposing of corpses, cleaning toilets, etc., and cannot compete with the higher class. Any contact between personnel will be punished. These classes are hereditary and there is generally no opportunity to change classes.

Therefore, being able to be reborn into a Brahmin family in India is a great blessing, because not only is your status noble, but even if you are not engaged in childbirth and idle all day long, you can still go to the local temple to receive your own monthly offerings of food. Although the money is not a lot, it is enough to maintain a normal life for a family. (This is a bit like the hardcore crops during the Eight Banners)

This is the case in Shaklu's family. Both his father and grandfather were lazy, so they didn't save much money. His father's serious illness not only wiped out all the family's savings, but also owed a large amount of foreign debt. Because of this, Cru was so sad that he was taken advantage of by Tang Ning. Aunt Ashari also seized the opportunity of Shaklu's family having no money to propose marriage.

In India, in addition to the racial system, there is also a very strange system which is the marriage system. In China and most places, it is the man who pays the bride price, and in many places the price is sky-high. For example, in some areas in the north before Tang Ning traveled, the bride price was a house, a car, and hundreds of thousands in cash. But in India, it's completely the opposite. Here, the woman pays the dowry, and the amount of the dowry is similar to or even greater than the betrothal gift in China. The logic of Indians is this: I will raise your daughter for the rest of her life, so you must give me some compensation, otherwise how will your daughter live a good life in the future? Therefore, although there are more boys than girls in India, having a daughter is a curse.

Another reason for this phenomenon is actually the racial system. In India, if you are a member of the Vaishya class, no matter how much money you earn, your social status cannot be improved, and you still cannot enjoy the treatment of high-class people. When you meet high-class people, you still have to bow and avoid them, so Many Vaisya or Shudra people are eager to improve their class status, and one of the easiest ways to achieve this is through marriage. (In ancient times, state leaders or kings could still upgrade their subordinates’ castes, but now that the government has announced the abolition of the caste system, naturally this path cannot be taken. This is similar to the flag-raising in the Qing Dynasty.)

According to the teachings of Hinduism, a man of high class can marry a woman of low class, and the children born in this way will also belong to the high class. If a woman of high class marries a man of low class, the children will still be of low class. If the class difference between the two parties is too large, they will be expelled from the family and made into untouchables. Therefore, many families of low class want to marry their daughters to men of high class to change their status, and in order to maintain their status, high class girls can only marry men of high class or the same class, so unmarried men of high class are extremely popular. Under this kind of competition, in order to make up for the class gap and improve competitiveness, low class families can only greatly increase the amount of dowry, and are even willing to continue to provide financial support to the man after marriage.

Little Shakru not only belongs to the highest level of Brahmin, but also has a handsome appearance and the right age, so he has long been coveted by many families, but Shakru's father resolutely does not allow his son to marry a low class daughter-in-law, and Shakru is not old, so he has never married. Now Shakru's father died, and he was 18 years old, old enough to marry, so matchmakers rushed to him. Among those who proposed marriage, the Bhat family was the most generous, not only providing a house, but also willing to give a dowry of 50,000 US dollars, which shows their urgency to improve their social status (50,000 US dollars in 1990 is equivalent to at least one million US dollars now). However, Shakru did not agree. First, as a Chinese who had just traveled through time, he could not accept this kind of marriage of transaction nature, and second, he had seen this Miss Bhat, and she was really ugly...
