In recent weeks, large-scale mass protests broke out in India due to caste problems. The "Jat" caste group is dissatisfied with the caste quota system, which is not conducive to the Jat people seeking jobs in government departments and public educational institutions. Violent protests left at least 18 people dead and hundreds injured. How complicated is India’s caste system? The BBC will come with you.

India’s caste system is one of the oldest existing social stratification models in the world.

This system classifies Hindus according to Karma (occupation) and Dharma (belief in Hindi, but obligation here) and puts them into a strict hierarchy. It is generally believed that this system has a history of over 3,000 years.

How did caste come into being?

Manu Code is generally regarded as the most important and authoritative Indian law book, and its writing date can be traced back to at least 1000 years before Jesus was born. The code "recognizes and maintains the caste system as the basis of social order and rules".

The caste system divides Hindus into four classes-Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Many people believe that caste comes from Brahma, the Hindu god of creation.

The highest caste is Brahman, which originated from Brahma’s head. This caste is mostly teachers and intellectuals. The second level is the Khrushchev, which probably originated from Brahma’s arms, mostly warriors and state rulers. The third level is the Vedas, which come from Brahma’s thighs and are mostly composed of businessmen. The lowest caste is sudra, who comes from Brahma’s foot. People of this caste are engaged in all kinds of menial jobs.

The four castes are subdivided into 3000 castes and 25000 sub-castes according to the specific occupations people are engaged in.

In addition to the caste system, there are "untouchables", also known as Dalits or "untouchables".

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 6 (Reporter Wang Yitao, Gao Rui) "The training effectively demonstrated the high fighting will and excellent fighting ability of the people’s army, indicating that our army is fully determined and capable of safeguarding the reunification of the motherland and defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity." In view of the fact that the Eastern Theater of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army organized troops to carry out unprecedented joint combat training in the sea and airspace around Taiwan Island, military experts said.

"The ability to fight and win battles has been greatly improved."

　　In the past few days, the troops in the war zone have moved at the command, dared to fight and win, and resolutely fulfilled the mission of safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Meng Xiangqing, a professor at National Defense University, believes that the results of this joint training show that our army’s ability to fight and win battles has been greatly improved.

　　First, it shows that the joint combat capability supported by our army’s large system has been greatly improved. This training, multi-service and multi-regional joint operations, tested the actual combat capabilities of theater troops under the support of the system, such as joint perception, joint accusation, joint killing and joint support, and showed the latest achievements in national defense and military reform. "This is the first time that our army has organized a joint air and sea training around the entire island. The actual combat background is very strong, which fully reflects that the joint combat capability supported by our military system has been greatly improved." Meng Xiangqing said.

　　Second, it shows that our army’s ability to refuse to stop in the far field has been greatly improved. This is the first time that our army has set the shooting range on the east side of Taiwan Island.

　　Third, our army’s precision strike capability has also been greatly improved. On the 4th, a number of new long-range box rockets of the Army in the Eastern Theater launched long-range fire live-fire shooting in the Taiwan Province Strait, which accurately hit a specific area in the eastern part of the Taiwan Province Strait. Rocket forces in the Eastern Theater carried out multi-regional and multi-model often-guided fire assault on the scheduled sea area off the eastern coast of Taiwan Island, and all missiles hit the target accurately.

　　Meng Xiangqing said, this is the first time that our army has organized fire to shoot through the island with live ammunition, and it has crossed the densely deployed area of Patriot missiles on Taiwan Island, and accurately hit the target under the eyes of the US Aegis ship, which reflects that our army has solved the problem of being visible and accurate in the distant sea. "We have a very strong ability of constant guidance and penetration, and we are not afraid of you to stop it, and you can’t stop it."

　　Fourth, it shows that our army’s ability to build three-dimensional operations at sea and cooperate with each other in war zones has been greatly improved. This is the first time that our army has organized an aircraft carrier formation deterrence drill and built a three-dimensional combat system at sea. At the same time, the troops participating in this operation are mainly in the eastern theater, and the troops from other theaters also participated, which reflects that the coordination ability between our war zones has been greatly enhanced.

"The people’s army shows a high spirit."

　　The guns on the ground roared, the "dragon" at sea attacked, and the "sword" in the air was unsheathed. In this training, the brigade of the Army’s "Hero Gun Crossing the River", the air force’s "Wang Hai Brigade", "Du Fengrui Brigade" and the detachment of the Navy’s "Pioneer Boat at Sea" all participated in this training, showing their heroic spirit of daring to fight and winning.

　　Zhang Junshe, a researcher at the Naval Research Institute, said that the training showed our army’s high fighting will and strong fighting style, indicating that our officers and men have strong determination, firm will and strong ability to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, maintain regional peace and stability, and smash all separatist plots.

　　At the missile launch site of the Rocket Force in the Eastern Theater, after receiving the launch order, if the commander is calm and calm, the officers and men are well-trained and dare to fight. The air force and naval air force in the eastern theater moved at the command and continuously dispatched various types of multi-type fighters to temper their combat capabilities; The navy in the eastern theater has been operating continuously, ready to deal with possible emergencies … … The vast number of officers and men have said that as long as the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission give an order, they can ensure that they can come at the call, fight when they come, and win the war, and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

　　"The people’s army has shown a high spirit and tenacious fighting will." Meng Xiangqing said.

"Intensify the provocation, and our counter-measures will be even more fierce."

　　"This training has selected six major areas around the island, which are wide in scope, close to the island, strong in strength and complete in elements, forming a surrounding trend for Taiwan Island and effectively shaping the strategic pattern of promoting reunification." Experts said.

　　At present, the one-China principle has become the general consensus of the international community, and adhering to the one-China principle is the basic norm of international relations. National reunification is the general trend, and the Taiwan Province issue will be solved with the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Zhang Junshe believes that the basic principle of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" has not changed. As long as there is a glimmer of hope for peace, we must make 100% peace efforts.

　　The 1.4 billion people and the people’s army of China resolutely refuse to accept any delusion of the "Taiwan independence" forces and external interference forces. "As long as ‘ Taiwan independence ’ Take a step forward, as long as external interference forces intensify provocation, our counter-measures will be even more fierce. " Meng Xiangqing said that any wrong act that goes against the historical trend, attempts to make a fuss about the Taiwan Province issue and jeopardizes China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is doomed to failure.

At the scene, Fu Xiaohui, director of the Beijing Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, delivered a speech on the stage. She said that 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the country’s reform and opening up, and the film industry in the two places has developed rapidly in the past 40 years. Since the signing of CEPA (Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement between the Mainland and Hong Kong) in 2003, it has set off a wave of co-productions between Hong Kong and the Mainland. This year’s Hong Kong Film Festival will also have a forum to discuss the future co-production strategy and prospects.

Fu Xiaohui, Director of the Beijing Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

The theme of the 7th Hong Kong Film Festival is "The Sound of the Years, Hong Kong Film and Hong Kong Music", and 17 films, including others, will be shown in two cinemas in Beijing from July 20th to July 29th. Mai Shengxi, director of Broadway Film Center, said that he was delighted to see so many young fans chasing Hong Kong films all over the country. This year’s film festival has set up eight units, hoping to convey the theme of these films through these units and themes.

This time, Lu Guanting, as the guest curator of this film festival, also came to the opening ceremony site and the post-film symposium of the opening film to communicate with the audience and fans. As a musician who has written music for many classic Hong Kong films, he said: "Movie music is very important to movies. If the music is removed, the taste of movies will be different." At the same time, he jokingly said: "If you can’t meet the requirements of the director, you can’t get along. No matter how bad the director’s taste is, we must satisfy the director’s interest. "

Lowell Lo

When it comes to the director who has worked with him, he said that he was happy to work with Stephen Chow because "I don’t know why he didn’t scold me. Because Stephen Chow is famous for swearing. " At the same time, he also revealed that he was very sorry that he couldn’t participate in Stephen Chow’s soundtrack: "I want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to make music, but it’s a pity that Stephen Chow invited me to participate in Kung Fu, but I didn’t go because of my physical reasons."

Lowell Lo

As for the classic "The Love of My Life", which is well known to mainland audiences, Lu Guanting mentioned that he started writing it on the plane back to Hong Kong: "When filming on a Chinese Odyssey started in Xi ‘an, he (Liu Zhenwei) invited me to Xi ‘an. Told me the whole story, which was unforgettable. The director said that this is a love story that has no result for 500 years. This sentence gave me a deep shock. I started writing when I flew back to Hong Kong. When I got off the plane and went home, I had a melody. In two days, my wife also wrote the words. "

It is understood that after the opening of Beijing Railway Station, the 7th Hong Kong Film Festival will tour 15 cities including Jinan, Shenyang, Shanghai, Dalian, Tianjin, Kunming, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha and Ningbo, and the tour cycle will last until the end of December.

　　　　On May 12th, a major earthquake occurred in Wenchuan. According to the instructions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the public security department mobilized 3,460 special police officers from 20 cities across the country in two batches to help the disaster-stricken areas.

　　　　In the early morning of May 13th, the Ministry of Public Security issued the first special police assembly order.

　　　　Police orders are like mountains.

　　　　Tread in tears

　　　　On May 13th, 1130 special police officers from six cities, including Tianjin, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chongqing, arrived at Mianyang Airport in Sichuan by chartered plane, and went straight to Beichuan, Mianzhu, Shifang and Dujiangyan, which suffered the most, for rescue.

　　　　In the early morning of the next day, special police detachments from 14 cities including Shijiazhuang, Hohhot, Changchun and Harbin received urgent orders from the Ministry of Public Security, and 2,330 elite special police officers arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport as ordered before 12 noon on May 14th, and then transferred to Dujiangyan. The frontline command of earthquake relief of the Ministry of Public Security mixed the special police team into three rescue brigades, and advanced to Xuankou Town, Shuimo Town and Sanjiang Township in Wenchuan County, the epicenter.

　　　　Duwen Highway from Dujiangyan to Wenchuan is the only way to Jiuzhaigou, a famous tourist attraction, and the only way for rescue teams to reach their destinations. The steep slope and narrow road width usually give people a sense of danger. After the earthquake, the bridge broke and the road collapsed, coupled with landslides and falling rocks, and this road became a veritable line of life and death. It has the hope of life, but also the threat of death.

　　　　Shortly after going up from Dujiangyan, cars could not pass. Public security special police embarked on a difficult trek on foot. On the winding mountain road, more than 2,000 special police officers walked like a long dragon. The more you go up, the more tragic the situation along the way: the towering mountain is like being chopped by a knife and axe, the huge landslide tears the scars on the peaks, the collapsed rocks are overturned on the road, and the car wrecks destroyed by falling rocks are staggering.

　　　　What shocked the young swat team members even more was the people who fled from the disaster area. They were ragged, dusty, dragging their children and passing the swat team. From their eyes, the special police officers read out their expectations and perseverance.

　　　　At the entrance of Friendship Tunnel, Guo Jiangning from Jiujiang Special Police Detachment saw a girl who walked out alone with the crowd, probably in her teens. Guo Jiangning couldn’t help thinking of his daughter of the same size, and his heart was sour. He stopped the little girl to ask about the disaster on the mountain. The little girl said, "Uncle, there are many people on it. Go and save them!" " When he said this, the child didn’t cry, but the special police officers around him were already in tears.

　　　　There was a young mother with two four-or five-year-old children. She was tired and hungry, and seemed unable to walk. A special police officer in Hohhot quickly peeled off the ham he carried with him and handed it to the children. Unexpectedly, the mother refused to let the children eat. She said to the children, "The police uncles have to rescue more people." The two sensible children looked away from the sausage and ran to one side. Seeing this scene, the special police officers suddenly felt a heat flow rolling in their hearts. The swat team quickly caught up and left the mineral water and ham to the child.

　　　　"I won’t open it if you want to pay."

　　　　Touching scenes are still happening one after another. When the SWAT team members leave, in addition to the necessary rescue equipment, everyone must also carry a backpack full of food and daily necessities. In order to provide more help to the affected people, they all increased the load as much as possible, and the heaviest luggage weighed forty or fifty kilograms. Although the swat team members are well-trained, this arduous long-distance running is unprecedented after all. Therefore, everyone is supporting with strong perseverance.

　　　　Along the way, simple and kind farmers have extended a helping hand to them, motorcycles, cars, tractors … They used all available means of transportation, and specially came to help the special police to transport equipment and personnel. In the section that is still open to traffic, it goes back and forth one by one, and some go back and forth dozens of times a day. While hiking to Xuankou Town, Wenchuan County, a man driving a tractor called a dozen special police officers to get on the bus and sent them to the traffic block, and then returned to pick up another group of special police officers. Cheng Zhangde, deputy director of Hefei Public Security Bureau, felt guilty and said, I’ll give you 100 yuan money, which is gas money. The man insisted that he didn’t want it. Cheng Zhangde stuffed the money into his pocket. The man who was driving the tractor actually stopped the car and said seriously, "If you want to give money, I won’t pull you. You have come to save us. How can you ask for your money?"

　　　　On the trek, at the disaster relief site, day and night in the disaster area, such things happen all the time. The simple actions and sincere words of the affected people, as well as the human light that bloomed from them, made the tough-looking special police officers burst into tears again and again.

　　　　On the way to Sanjiang Township, Wenchuan, Hohhot special police met more than a dozen people who escaped from Wolong Nature Reserve. One of them was a middle-aged man who tied his 80-year-old mother on his back with a rope. He went through all kinds of hardships and waded all the way, hungry and thirsty. He begged some food from the special police passing by. Special police officers opened their backpacks and gave him mineral water, bread and ham, but the middle-aged man only accepted a bottle of water and two loaves, refusing to ask for more. He said, "With this food, my mother can live." The swat officers present couldn’t help crying.

　　　　There are many, many moments that make swat unforgettable. A teenager has been waiting on the side of the road. When he sees a passing swat team member, he says, "I have boiled hot water for you at home. Come to my home and have a drink of hot water!" A female student of Yingxiu Middle School in Wenchuan County, with a pen and notebook, chased the special police for signature and said, "I will remember you all my life."

　　　　"I don’t believe communist party will ignore us."

　　　　As the first batch of public security special police teams galloping in the disaster area, 200 special police officers from Chongqing Public Security Special Police Corps arrived in Beichuan County, Mianyang City at about 17: 00 on May 13th, which was the first public security rescue team to arrive in Beichuan after the earthquake. Beichuan was the hardest hit by the earthquake, and the whole county was razed to the ground.

　　　　Putting down their bags, the special police immediately put themselves into the work of searching and rescuing the buried people, helping the masses, maintaining public order and defending key parts. That night, it rained heavily, and torrential rain washed the land after the disaster, and also poured on the members of the public security special police, blending with the sweat and tears of the members.

　　　　In the middle of the night, the special police officers who participated in the on-site rescue had to stop their actions and board the personnel carriers all the way from Chongqing to prepare for camping. At this time, a group of ragged children appeared in the field of vision of Ding Minsheng, the chief captain of Chongqing Public Security Special Police Corps. They were 84 students from Liuhan Hope Primary School in a remote area, the oldest being 14 years old and the youngest being 7 years old. After the earthquake, the school building collapsed, and the surviving children, led by two teachers, rushed to the mountain road one day and one night and fled to the county for help. The newly established Beichuan field headquarters was temporarily unable to resettle them, and 84 children stood silently waiting in the rain.

　　　　Before Ding Minsheng gave the order, the special police officers on the troop carrier had jumped out of the car, let the children in, and took out food and water to give them. That night, the special police officers spent several hours standing or squatting in the rain, until the on-site headquarters safely transferred all these teachers and students at 5: 30 the next morning.

　　　　For these young children, the police they saw on the rainy night after the earthquake may be just police officers, but for the affected people in Sanjiang Township who were cut off from the outside world for four days and were almost waiting for death, the police who appeared in front of them came to save their party and government.

　　　　Sanjiang Township is located in the deep mountain area of Wenchuan County. After the earthquake, there was no news all the time. It is one of the 58 blind spots in the whole disaster area. The safety of the masses has always touched the hearts of the party and state leaders. The frontline command of earthquake relief of the Ministry of Public Security handed the task of advancing into Sanjiang to a mixed commando led by Liu Yamin, the detachment leader of Harbin Public Security Special Police.

　　　　The biggest difficulty in advancing into Sanjiang lies in road damage. On the morning of May 16th, the commandos set out from Shuimo Town and began their trek to Sanjiang. On the way, I met a young man coming down from the mountain. I quickly came forward to inquire. The young man’s name was Zhang Jianbo, and he was a native of Sanjiang. It took him six hours to get to Shuimo Town after going over the mountains. I heard that the special police were eager to rescue the masses in the mountains. Zhang Jianbo took the initiative to serve as the guide of the commando team and turned around to lead the team into the direction of Sanjiang. At 15: 40, the commando team finally arrived in Sanjiang Township. At this time, Sanjiang Township is full of ruins. Fortunately, due to the wooden structure of local houses, the number of victims is not as much as expected. Of the more than 4,000 people in the township, 11 people were killed and 17 people were missing. However, the surviving people are short of food and medicine, and they live on porridge every day. The injured are not treated and their injuries are getting worse.

　　　　The special police officers rushed to the gathering place of the victims, which was a playground of Sanjiang Township Primary School. Several wooden stakes pulled a piece of snakeskin cloth less than 40 square meters, covering the seriously injured. More than a thousand people huddled in the playground, most of them were old people, women and children.

　　　　Liu Yamin fought back tears, grabbed the front of everyone and said loudly, "Folks! Sorry, we are late! We are a rescue team sent by the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Ministry of Public Security. We have special police, fire officers and soldiers and doctors. A team of hundreds of people will arrive soon. Don’t worry! Everyone must have confidence, the party and the government have not forgotten you, and the people all over the country are helping you! Together, we will be able to tide over this difficulty! "

　　　　In an instant, applause broke out on the playground, and people stood up and shouted excitedly: "Long live communist party, long live the people’s police!" An old man muttered with tears: "We are saved! I knew communist party wouldn’t leave us alone. " Afterwards, Liu Yamin asked an old man if any rescue troops had been here. The old man listened and said, "The Red Army came to us in the past." Liu Ya people’s hearts are hot: I didn’t expect that the road we took turned out to be the road the Red Army took!

　　　　Without hesitation, the rescuers delivered their food to the hungry people, and the medical team immediately gave emergency rescue to 128 wounded people on the playground. After the arrival of the follow-up troops, they quickly went to nine villages in Sanjiang Township to check the disaster situation, arranged police patrols, and sprayed and disinfected crowded places. In order to solve the big problem of people’s eating, the special police braved the risk of aftershocks and rescued 12,000 Jin of grain from the ruined and crumbling dangerous houses, so the people no longer had to go hungry.

　　　　People-oriented, life first. For the public security special police officers who are fighting in the front line of earthquake relief, these abstract concepts have become living practices here, giving them a profound understanding.

　　　　On the morning of May 18th, Chongqing Special Police, who was on patrol in Wenchuan County, received a middle-aged woman’s help. Her 64-year-old father, Liu Guangjie, was injured in his right foot in the earthquake, and the villagers in the village carried him to a safe place. They couldn’t walk on the way, so they had to put him on the mountain to wait for help. The woman pleaded, "Comrade police, go and save my father’s life!" "

　　　　In the face of the eager desire of the masses, the Chongqing Special Police Corps immediately organized 17 special police officers to go to the mountains. Cliffs, broken walls and rolling stones may fall down the mountain and be shattered if you don’t pay attention. The special police officers put their hearts in their throats and used their hands and feet. It took more than three hours to finally find Liu Laohan, who was eager to wear.

　　　　It’s not easy to go up the mountain, and it’s even harder to go down. The special police officers were divided into several groups and rotated. Some people opened the way in front, steadied their heels, and the police who carried people stepped on the feet of the police in front and walked down step by step. At 10 o’clock in the morning, he began to go down the mountain. At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the old man was carried down the mountain. Every policeman’s feet were soaked with blood, and several people sprained their ankles. After going down the mountain, Liu Laohan repeatedly said with gratitude, "My family has a lot of bacon. Come back to my house and eat bacon!"

　　　　If you can save a life, you will try your best to save a life; What can be done for the masses, what to do with all one’s strength, this is the common wish of the special police officers fighting in the disaster area. On the first day of trekking from Dujiangyan to Xuankou Town, the hardest hit area, the Hefei Special Police Detachment did not hesitate to donate a generator that had been painstakingly carried. The swat team members gave everything they had and donated 30 thousand yuan in cash to the town government. In Longhushan village, I saw that the tents built by the villagers were very simple. They gave up six of the seven tents they carried, and dozens of special police officers squeezed into one tent. It rained heavily that night, and the police sat in the tent all night, listening to the sound of the rain, feeling very gratified.

　　　　The masses are reluctant to part with each other and send them away with tears.

　　　　According to the data provided by the frontline command of earthquake relief of the Ministry of Public Security, as of May 23rd, the special police participating in the war had rescued 215 buried personnel, among whom 20 survived, rescued and transferred 34,383 people, rescued and escorted 19.028 million yuan in cash, assisted in investigating 192 cases and arrested 256 suspects. The team members spontaneously donated 536,990 yuan in cash to the people in the disaster area.

　　　　After eight days of fighting in the hardest hit area, according to the command of the headquarters, the special police team evacuated from the disaster area and transferred to other areas to perform public security prevention and control tasks. I heard that they were leaving, and the people in the disaster area were reluctant to part with each other and sent them away with tears.

　　　　Teachers and students of Shenghu Primary School in Xuankou Town, Wenchuan County are reluctant to let Jiujiang Special Police officers go. In just a few days, Jiujiang Special Police not only rescued books and desks for the children, but also helped the school to get through the road. It also donated 20,000 yuan to the school, which deeply touched the teachers and students of the school. The headmaster felt that there was no return and insisted on giving a banner to the special police. Unable to make it locally, they specially sent people to Dujiangyan, spent seven hours back and forth, customized a banner and gave it to the special police. When the special police officers set out, the school sent someone to accompany them to Dujiangyan.

　　　　When Fuzhou Public Security Special Police Detachment left Jizhong Village, Xuankou Town, all the villagers came out to bid farewell spontaneously, and some people even set off firecrackers. Gong Daliang, a 70-year-old widowed man, put together more than 20 fresh eggs and salted eggs he had accumulated, cooked them and gave them to special police officers. The special police insisted on not accepting it, and the white-haired old man had to kneel down in the street for the special police who were equivalent to his children and grandchildren.

　　　　Guo Jiangning, from Jiujiang Public Security Special Police Detachment, said: "The days on the front line of earthquake relief are the days when I shed the most tears and moved the most, and also the days when my mind was purified and my spirit was improved. In these days, the police and ordinary people moved each other in giving each other, and the relationship between people was close in the face of catastrophe. " Zhang Qian of Shijiazhuang Special Police Detachment said: "We have done something for the disaster area, but the people in the disaster area have given us more and more precious. They give us spiritual touch and education, which is our lifelong wealth. " The words of these two young policemen expressed the common aspiration of the special police.
