Rebirth of India: Superior

Take a relative of Shakru of the same subcaste (a branch of a large caste) as an example. He was born in an administrative bureaucratic family, with three generations of six people, which is not considered a large family in India (the largest large family in India has 100 to 200 people). His family has two drivers, a cook, a maid who works in the house, a maid who sweeps the yard, a gardener, a nanny, and a gatekeeper, a total of 8 servants.

The reason why Indians need so many servants is not because the house is big, there are many chores at home, and they need more manpower as the Chinese imagine. It is because Indian servants must strictly distinguish "types of work" and cannot break the rules. For example, the rich in India generally hire the best Brahmin chefs, because the rich themselves are often Brahmins or Kshatriyas of high caste, and can only eat food made by Brahmins. And because the chef is of a high caste, he can cook, but he cannot do "serving" work such as serving dishes, so he also needs a maid to work in the house. The maids in the house were unwilling to do the yard cleaning work, because those who used brooms outside were considered to be "lower class" than the servants inside. Gardening was a specialized trade, often inherited from the father, so it was necessary to hire a special person. Children at home needed to be taken care of by a nanny, doormen needed to be special doormen, and drivers were "full-time" drivers. This was still considered light. During the British colonial period, the servants at that time had a more detailed division of labor, including even special housekeepers, dog walkers, hunting responsible for shouting and driving prey, ironing clothes, emptying toilets, etc., and each "job" had a special Hindi name, which could be said to be complete. And because everyone was responsible for a specific job, the wages were not much. Even in 2015, the monthly salary of an Indian servant was only a few hundred yuan. Well, the chef had the highest salary, after all, he was a Brahmin. In fact, servants in the city were still good. The really miserable ones were servants in the countryside, who were not much different from slaves.

After all, Shakru is not a pure Indian, and his house doesn't have a garden, so he just wants to hire a maid to clean the house. As for the chef, forget it. He really can't get used to Indian food, and it's more reassuring to eat what he makes. (I'll popularize Indian eating habits when I have a chance. Please don't read this kind of content while eating, so as not to affect your appetite. Anyway, I was disgusted when I was looking up information.)

In India, there is a special maid market, but it is called a labor market to the outside world. When the market staff heard that this gorgeously dressed (just bought a new set of clothes) and handsome Brahmin boy was looking for a maid, their eyes lit up and they said excitedly: "Mr. Pandit, you are so lucky. We just have a top-notch maid here. Only a noble status like you is worthy of such a maid. Please wait a moment, I will call her over."

The unexpected enthusiasm of the staff made Shakru a little uncomfortable. Could it be that there are top-notch and non-top-notch maids? This is not an online game, so what are the best, excellent, legendary, epic...

However, when Shakru saw the maid brought by the staff, he immediately felt that they were right. This maid was really the best, even perfect.

The girl in front of him, who was called a maid, had fair and delicate skin, a tall and graceful figure, and delicate and beautiful facial features... Wait, that's not right, why is her skin so white, how can she be a maid? It's obvious that she should be from a high-caste family. Why did she come to the servant market to be a maid?

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Shakru's eyes, the staff explained: "This Xiaer girl was originally from the Shukla family, but because she made an unforgivable mistake, she was expelled from the family. She just came to us to find a job three days ago. Although her work skills may not be as good as those experienced maids, her status is definitely worthy of you, and" At this point, the staff gave Shakru a look that all men understand.

However, Shakru was not in the mood to pay attention to this kind of eyes for the time being, but was slightly shocked by this news. How big a mistake would it take to be expelled from the family? Moreover, SHUKLA (Shukla) is a very high-level surname. It translates to "pure white". In ancient times, even the Kshatriyas had to kiss the boots of people with this surname.

At this time, Shakru suddenly reacted and asked: "Shukla? Isn't it the incident that caused a sensation in society some time ago?"

The staff nodded and replied: "Yes, it is that incident." And the face of the Xiaer girl became even more gloomy and embarrassed.

At this time, Shakru finally understood what was going on. In fact, this incident was quite a sensation in New Delhi and even the whole of India.

The cause was that a high-caste girl was too deeply influenced by foreign TV dramas and books. She naively thought that love could overcome all obstacles. In addition, she was not satisfied with the fat Brahmin fiancé assigned to her by her family, so she eloped with the young and handsome Dalit driver boy in her family.

As mentioned before, reverse marriage is not allowed in India (that is, high-caste girls marry low-caste boys), especially in a traditional and noble family like Shukla, this situation is an insult to the entire family, so In anger, the clan leader not only messed up the young man he had captured but They executed the young man with a knife, and sent someone to torture the young man's two younger sisters. They even blackened their faces and paraded them naked through the streets. Although the girl was not physically harmed, expelling her from the family was a sign of the consequences of her childhood. The biggest punishment for a delicate girl who grew up in a honeypot. (This is true, but it didn’t happen in 1990, but in 2013. But it was the same in 2013, let alone more than 20 years ago.)

Regarding this incident, Shakru was indignant that such blatant racial discrimination could occur in the Indian society that claims to be absolutely democratic today. On the other hand, he lamented that this Shire girl was too young, how could she To do such a childish thing, it depends on how far these two young people can run, and even if they run far away, their future life will definitely be different from what she imagined.

But even so, Shakru still decided to help this Shire girl, because if those rich Kshatriyas or Vaishyas with ulterior motives hired her away, her future fate would be unimaginable. , and although he is not a purely good person, at least he can't do anything when others are in danger.
