Class hierarchy : Brahmins of the first class , mainly monks and nobles, have the privilege of interpreting religious scriptures and offering sacrifices to gods.
The second-class Kshatriyas , mainly military nobles and administrative nobles, have the privilege of collecting various taxes.
Aryan free civilians are the third class of Vaishyas , engaged in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, etc., and must support the first two classes in the form of almsgiving and taxation.
The conquered natives are the fourth-level Sudras , who can only engage in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, and other lowly occupations.
Balam said that cattle and sheep are the best food and the most noble members of the family, indicating that the family believes in Hinduism, and his cunning grandmother Kusu (grandma < sheep < cow) followed closely, but later found out They all eat meat, but devout Hindus are vegetarians, except for the lowest caste , so the caste of the Balam family is the lowest, and the family raises buffalo, not zebu, it is OK slaughtered buffalo
Balam's father contracted tuberculosis, family cremated before he died
The chicken coop rule, a slaughter shop owner is killing chickens, bloody violence. The boss is the third rank of Vaishyas (landlords) , and the chickens are the fourth rank of sudras (servants) , and the servants are numb
When Baram first met Ashok (the son of the landlord), Ashok would give the Walkman's earphones to the servant's children, which shows that Ashok's first impression on Baram was good.
Hearing that the landlord's family was looking for a driver, he went to learn to drive. Here it is said that grandma married him a daughter-in-law in order to bind his brother. Balam said that he would be bound in the future. At that time, the coach said: The road is like a thick forest (generally refers to a forest that is dense and impenetrable), and a good driver must roar to move forward on the road! It can be understood that Balam is a white tiger, and this Indian bottom society is a jungle and a chicken coop. Only by roaring out your own strength can you break through the prison.
The eldest son of the landowner, the mongoose, why is the name Balam given to him, the mongoose does not store fat in the body, so if they do not forage every day, they will starve to death, which means that the eldest son exploits the servants every day
On the way to the assessment, the landlord asked Balam what his caste was, and he didn't know whether it was higher or lower, because their servants were all servants of the upper caste, but the meerkats knew what this caste was. Understand" the bottom layer. Ashok asked Balam if he could cook, and after getting the answer, he talked to his father, and the driver did the cooking. This is something that only happens in India.
Ashok asked Baram if he knew about the internet, computers, etc., and even thought that the servant would rise to the middle class, which shows that Ashok is very naive and optimistic now
Baram later found out that the driver No. 1 was a Muslim, but the landlord did not like Muslims. So this side became Balam's handle to replace him
