What is the Indian way of life?
India has a long history and culture. Tagore, who once fascinated Chinese college students, and the Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world… These beautiful and mysterious things have become increasingly blurred in our impressions.
The strength of India’s software industry has made us look at this “awakened giant” with new admiration.
But at the same time, the huge contrast between civilization and backwardness, wealth and extreme poverty, political turmoil and the stability of people’s hearts has made this country even more mysterious.
A nation that lives by nature
In India, large cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata can see large slums, and even slum houses can be seen everywhere around some rich residential areas.
The houses are low, dark, dilapidated, and damp. Groups of children are running around, and women are carrying their children to work among them. It is not too much to describe their living conditions as “absolute poverty”.
What is heart-warming is that even under such living conditions, there is no helplessness, fatigue and numbness in their expressions, nor is there any sorrow, pathos and indifference, but all of them are happy, calm and real, full of peaceful atmosphere.
Sometimes, the music that I don’t know who is playing suddenly starts and comes in from outside the house. You will find that almost everyone, children, adults and even the elderly, will immediately put down what they are doing, dance to the music, and laugh with each other. , into a state of ecstasy, completely ignoring the surrounding environment.
Most Indians are good at singing and dancing, and this innate kindness has become the source of their happiness, enabling them to live in a state of “singing and dancing”. In fact, Indian dance is very difficult to learn, but they start learning from a very young age, even if no one teaches, children will imitate others.
These is the Indians, the people who live according to their nature. If there is only one word to describe the living and spiritual state of Indians, “happiness” is the only precise word.
love is a prayer
India is the most prolific country in the world for movies. Relatively speaking, the proportion of imported films is very small, so it is mainly based on local films, and local films are almost always the theme of love. Countless love episodes are sung from movies to people’s daily life and deep into people’s consciousness.
In the eyes of Indians, there are only two emotions related to love, love or not, if love is 100% sincerity and care, there can be no “light love”. If it is the last resort to separate, it will not be “heartbroken” because of “breaking up”.
It is unbelievable that even today, 80 to 90% of marriages in India are arranged by parents. Parents mainly consider morality and family. Therefore, there is a saying in India that when choosing an object, while, which is equivalent to choosing the other’s family and clan.
The sense of morality has penetrated into the blood
People often have the impression that the poorer the place, the worse the security situation.
India has the highest number of illiterate people in the world, and most of these illiterate people live below the poverty line. But crime in India mainly comes from political turmoil and ethnic conflict, not for robbery.
The poor in India only go begging, not looting. There are also many rural poor in India who go to work in cities, but there is no urban problem such as “immigrant worker crime”.
In India, there is another situation that is simply not seen. On the streets of many countries, from time to time a girl will signal you to make some kind of “deal”. If you ask her, she will say that the family is poor, or that there is no job, or that she has been kicked out of the family and so on.
Indians say that no matter what kind of rhetoric, it can’t be a reason, so this kind of thing will not happen in this country.
Because doing so is a devastating blow to both the morality of the family and the morality of the individual. The individual does not allow it, and the family does not allow it.
The following situation is common in India. Whether you are in the city, the countryside or the wilderness, you can take a passing car as you like, as long as you wave your hand, a strange vehicle will stop in front of you, and the driver is generally happy. Give you a ride, and it’s free, and you never have to worry about being scammed.
Indians basically do not kill. A friend from the Chinese embassy in India said that if a mosquito lands on an Indian to suck blood, he will not kill the mosquito, but will just wave his hand to drive it away. Therefore, India can be described as a paradise for animals, with cows, sheep, dogs, squirrels everywhere, parrots, turtledoves, eagles and many unknown birds flying in the sky.
There is a book “Ramayana” that represents the long-standing classical culture of India. It tells the story of how a moral model behaved in his life. It covers all areas of people’s life, making friends, seeking knowledge, and work. How are you a moral person.
The content of this book is expressed in art forms such as film, drama, music, dance, etc., and is widely circulated. In India, this is a story that even illiterate people know.
The power of soft values
The former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense and Dean of the Carnegie Institution of Harvard University put forward such a point of view, that is, the real long-term development of a country requires a soft value to play a role in addition to money and power. This soft force is the value that the United States should endorse or promote.
And India can just tell the United States what this soft value is. It is a cultural force composed of spiritual values, ethical wisdom, and family morality in addition to material conditions. It integrates the quality of people’s hearts and maintains social security. , no less than the power of the rule of law.
When people only see that the United States, Japan, and even China have all gone to India to search for software talents, they may have just overlooked another value that is more worthy of the world’s long-term attention, which is the light of wisdom from the blood and soul of this nation. A new allegory from an ancient civilization.
