Rebirth of India: Superior

Originally, Shakru thought it was a coincidence to meet a foreigner like Toktakhonov who looked like a Chinese. Unexpectedly, he met such a guy again this time. △On this day, as soon as he entered the office, his secretary Puli Ti came in and reported: "Boss, it seems that a Chinese is here to see you."

Shakru was immediately amused by Priti's confused words: "What does it mean to be Chinese? That means yes, and no means no. If you don't know, just ask him."

Priti replied distressedly: "I asked, and he said he was Indian, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt that he was similar to the Chinese people who came here often." The Chinese people who came here were the leaders and family members of Changchun Pharmaceutical Factory.

Although he didn't understand what Priti wanted to express, Shakru still smiled and said: "Forget it, let him in, and I will personally screen to see if he is Chinese."

Within a few minutes, Shaklu saw a middle-aged man with yellow skin, black hair, and a suit and tie walking in. Although this guy looked very Chinese, Shaklu could tell him at a glance. Definitely not Chinese, not even Japanese or Korean, so he joked: "You must be Mr. Oram. It seems that my secretary is right, you really look like a Chinese."

Oram smiled bitterly and replied: "It doesn't matter. I am used to this kind of misunderstanding. People often mistake me for a Chinese, but in fact I am from Manipur."

Upon hearing this reply, Shakru suddenly realized that this guy was from Manipur, so no wonder he looked so Chinese. Speaking of Shakru's previous life, although he knew the names of major cities in India such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata, he still couldn't talk about the names of Indian states. So what he is most familiar with is this humble Manipur, because of several posts that went viral on the Internet in 2014, "Manipur: A New China in India", "Manipur in India" "Assam and Assam intend to break away from India and join China", "The relationship between Manipur, the state with the most independent tendencies in India, and China", "Both are descendants of the dragon, Manipur's heart is towards China". (Posts like this can still be searched on Baidu.)

At first, Shakru was also confused by the content in the post, and his heart for the Great China surged, especially the "six-star red flag" displayed in the post, the Chinese restaurants everywhere, and the pirated copies of Chinese pop songs and film and television dramas. Dish stalls and dragons everywhere The totems also include the beauties of Manipur who are completely in line with the Chinese aesthetic point of view. This made Shakru, who was still a little impulsive at the time, almost shout, "Support the independence of Manipur. We cannot let the descendants of the dragon thousands of miles away feel chilled." !” Such an unreliable slogan.

Wait until you cross over. Shakru really spent a lot of time and carefully researching Manipur, and found that the facts were not that at all, and almost everything written in the post was deceptive.

There is only a slender Siliguri Corridor connecting the northeastern region of India where Manipur is located to the main body of the Indian subcontinent. The narrowest part is even only 20 kilometers. From this, it is conceivable that the connection between it and the main body of India is somewhat How fragile.

In fact, Manipur has always been an independent state with a history of two thousand years. It is in a similar situation to Nepal. It has nothing to do with India and has never been occupied or ruled by India. Of course, it has never been occupied or ruled by China. After the British army occupied India, they randomly found an excuse to annex Manipur. When the British army withdrew from India, they also gave Manipur to their once most obedient younger brother, India. So Manipur Poole joined India in this way. It can be seen that it is strange that the relationship between Manipur and India is good. It is normal for him to disobey and be unwilling to be ruled by India.

If the Indian government can win over the people of Manipur well. Perhaps there is still a possibility of integration, but the Indian government promulgated a very tough regulation in 1958. That is the Suppressive Law or the Anti-Terrorism Law, AFSP (armed forces special powers act-repres private velaw). What is even more unfortunate is that Manipur was declared a riot area on September 8, 1980, and has since come under the control of the AFSP. (There are several states that are under the control of AFSPPA, and the guys who tried to kidnap Shakru were also from the controlled areas)

Why is it controlled? Let’s go back to a very brave naga (naga:? The water god who symbolizes security and prosperity in Indian mythology, and also means cobra) guerrilla group of independent movement. In short, the guerrillas of the naga independence movement had a large force in Manipur to support the armed resistance of the naga in their own state - the Nagaland independence movement. In addition, in 1949, the Manipur people resisted and joined India, so Manipur was Controlled.

Under the control of AFSPA, from 1980 to 1990, important Manipur independence activists or anti-Indian activists were "missing" one after another (according to the US HRW report), and the frequent rapes by the Indian army in Manipur caused extreme hatred among local women! According to incomplete statistics, as of 2008, more than 30,000 civilians have died in conflicts with the Indian army. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Manipur to want to be independent from India.

Back to the connection with China, the Manipuris are indeed yellow, and their skin color and appearance are different from those of Indians; they do worship the dragon totem; their language has nothing in common with the Indian language family, and belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family; their eating habits are not as spicy as those of Indians, but rice is the staple food, and they like light and easy to steam and cook, which is a bit similar to the taste of Yunnan. But we cannot say that they are Chinese. In fact, it is more accurate to say that they are Burmese (Burmese and Burmese are not the same concept), especially in terms of the dragon totem. In fact, the Tibetan-Burmese people worship the dragon totem far more than those in North China. You can see it by looking at the flag of Bhutan.

As for why the Manipuri people did not refute this rumor, it may be because they themselves know that it is difficult to achieve independence by their own strength. It is better to use China's strength to put pressure on India, and perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.
