How do you face this half heaven, half hell country?

A India film about women's rights -- wrestling! "Dad" has become a topic that everyone is talking about during this period.

I believe many people are wondering, "for a so-called" rape power ", does feminism really exist? "

And after a lapse of 14 years to release a new album, Pu Shu, in February this year also went to India to shoot a documentary, he went to the refugee area, found a lot of people still lived happily with the music dance, see the local children emerge smile, even he said that he is the most relaxing days......

It is these discussions have made India people have never set foot in a big question mark - in the end, India is a kind of state?

In the same city, it has a magnificent railway station, but also has the world's second largest slum;

With a castle, it has a royal elegance, but still not practiced under the liberation of female freedom;

The same education system can produce world-class software engineers, but it still can not change the fact that there are 1/3 illiterates in the country;

The same is true of food, the more wealthy people prefer the delicate vegetarian diet, and the poor prefer to drink Street drinks containing marijuana;

..........

India is probably such a country: poor and rich, romantic and sad, sentimental and sexy, charming and confused, stubborn and tenacious. The temperament of "contradiction" is vividly portrayed in the corner of the street.

As we give up to India in the past the old, in another perspective, the Chinese "dragon tiger fight" over the years the country - India. Maybe it looks like a mess, and there's a quality that makes you wonder.

Don't look down on India

During this period, the circle of friends was crazy about an article written by Yuan Nansheng, a former Consul General in India, Mumbai, "don't look down on India". There are some things that deserve our re examination of India.

That is, the streets of India is dirty and messy

1, garbage everywhere, and may accidentally pass through the public toilet, many cities do not have a perfect sewer, in the rainy season, the streets are floating Blackwater blackwater.

2. Traffic in New Delhi is a headache. You should have a budget of two or three hours for an hour's ride.

3, some Indians do not have the concept of time, petty gains, but also like to chat with foreign women in the street.

The map from the @ Yao Shun only

- however, this seemingly poor country in chaos, but there is a more perfect social welfare system.

1, the national public health care: this welfare even covers foreigners in India, as long as you go to a public hospital.

2, almost free education: public primary and secondary school tuition is about 8 yuan a month, the public university tuition, accommodation costs for 1600 yuan each year. State investment in education has accounted for more than 4% of GDP, the best public buildings are not government buildings, but schools.

3: the number of personnel training, training of India science and technology talents has been among the highest in the world, the information industry thriving people surprisingly.

4, India officials do not have the luxury of comparison, many executives lead the office is often no air-conditioning

The filth of holiness

On the one side is the sacred Ganges RIver worshiped reverently

One side is a messy mess on the street

Ganges RIver was the first impression of many people in India and the first leg of their trip to India. The Varanasi (Varnasi), located in Ganges RIver, is the "holy city" in the hearts of India Christians. It is also the Western Buddhist realm that Xuan Zang really wants to reach in the Tang dynasty. The complex, simple, chaotic order of the mixture, seemingly blocked, but with its own divinity, attracted people from all over the world to come to pilgrimage.

Chaotic and complex

|| Ganges RIver burned corpse

The map from the @ soul burning city

The map from @Jan

"We must go to Varanasi before death," "die in Varanasi", "die in Varanasi" and "cremation". These remarks do not prove Varanasi's status as "holy city" in India. Because people belonging to the mother river, Ganges RIver has a large surrounding the crematorium, ashes or not completely burnt bodies were placed in Ganges RIver. But the river, while carrying drinking water, bathing, washing clothes, brushing teeth and other living functions, the fact that outsiders are shocked and disoriented.

|| chaos Street

The map from the @ Trojan Cola scavenger

I believe Varanasi people will hate in my heart no longer dark oath visit second times, because the crowded city streets, it is even worse than expected. The street on both sides of the building as collapsing as oppressive; alley ghastly, motorcycle, bicycle, walking gallop across the road less than two meters wide; the ground around the cow, dog feces, garbage and sewage, fishy smell; wild dogs, cows, monkeys, scurrying....

Holy and peaceful

|| morning and evening worship

But you can't deny that even the dirtiest city bears a religious belief rooted in people's hearts. Every morning, at five and evening, there will be a two day worship of Shiva in Ganges RIver. When you see the Christians sitting in an orderly position, singing or praying with the beat, and presenting a peaceful scene, you have to wonder at the strength of the spiritual power and the charm of faith.

|| sunrise Ganges RIver

At 6 in the morning, the horizon was suffused with red light, and the boat went to Ganges RIver. The people on the shore or in the morning or in the bath, washing water, or prayer, or just quietly watching the golden light of the river, watching along the ancient and colorful mottled building, despite everything on atrium. At this point, we can experience... The most strong "holy city" temperament. Varanasi surface of the dirty, still can not stand deep in the bones of the sacred. Heaven may not be the most beautiful, but it can contain all things.

Poverty under luxury

On one side is the magnificent El Luxor Hotel

On one side is the world's second largest slum

The disparity between the rich and the poor is the greatest characteristic of India. The gap between rich and poor can be found everywhere in India, one of New Delhi's oldest and most populous cities in the world, Mumbai, or in India, the capital of the city. If you were at the star studded Vitoria railway station an hour ago, the next second you could see was the second largest slum in the world.

Luxury architecture

When it comes to India, the most obvious difference between the rich and the poor in the cities is probably Mumbai. There is a Bifansaier house more "the world's most expensive private house" -- Antilia, valuation of $1 billion. The only railway station in the world to enter the world heritage site - Vitoria railway station, has the style of the ancient parliament building. The The Taj Mahal Hotel, which is crowded with India's upper class, is old and luxurious. A series of luxury buildings, you can see the glory of the rich in Mumbai.

|| El Luxor Hotel New Delhi

In the capital New Delhi, there are many luxury five star hotel. And this one Gul Gen Oberoi (The Oberoi Hotel Gurgaon), ever was judged to be "one of 33 top hotels of Asia 2015". The magnificent hotel interior and five star private butler service are always highlighting the most popular hotel in India.

Slum

|| Dharavi slum

But in the twinkling of an eye, Mumbai, a city of 14 million people, has 7 million 700 thousand people living in slums. One of the most representative is Bella, after the Kenya based in Nairobi, ranked second in the world, Asia's largest slum dharavi. Because a few years ago the hit movie "Slumdog Millionaire", Dharavi "promotion" as one of India's most famous "a hell on earth". It is located in the heart of India, the capital of Commerce in Mumbai, with 600 thousand people living in the area of nearly 2 square kilometers.

|| thousand Mumbai Laundry Factory

Even more shocking is probably the 150 year old laundry, Dhobighat, known as the world's largest human washing machine. At the same time, there are more than 700 laundry workers and their families, starting at four every morning and working as long as 16 hours. Because the manpower in India is cheaper than the washing machine, and the electricity is not needed, the industry of hand washing can be preserved in the modern society. Most of the people who work here are the caste system, the lowest illiteracy in the society.

Sentimental sex appeal

One side is a colonial building that remains

On the other hand is the color street of India's personality

From the colonial activities of the early seventeenth Century to the late nineteenth Century, Britain directly controlled 2/3 of the territory of India. Influence of nearly three centuries, so that now India has a residual atmosphere of streets and lanes colonial buildings. But at the same time, the ubiquitous marketplace reflects India's individuality. That period of rather sad, but also created today's combination of eastern and Western cultures sexy India.

Darjeeling, because Black Tea known worldwide. Actually this mountain land has been considered "gally" later, two British soldiers Dujuhuiyan, to the king of Sikkim by the land to make tea, train, to build the town with an air of importance. Therefore, today's Darjeeling has become a mountain, tea, summer great holy land. The third highest peaks of the world - dry city, Zhang Jia, one of the earliest railways in India, a steam train incorporated into the world heritage site, are all worth seeing.

Calcutta, the third largest city after Mumbai and New Delhi, has been the capital of British India for more than 140 years between 1772 and 1911. Most of the colonial buildings preserved here are of Vitoria style, and they are on the streets. The exotic atmosphere is very strong. Calcutta, or the writer Tagore's hometown, sister Teresa love home is here.

Featured Market

Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest large markets in northern India, is located in Old Delhi and is said to have more than 400 years of history. Even now the buildings and streets have been broken, beam column and carving pane but still retained from the part of the fine, with Arabia style of architecture, a glimpse of that empire prosperity. The moonlight market covers all kinds of goods, and passengers who pass the subway to the Red Fort and the Ma Ka mosque are not likely to miss it.

|| Dahl lake on the market

Another market featured in India is the Dahl Lake market. Lake Dahl (Dal Lake), located in Srinagar, the most beautiful garden city in India, was once a summer resort for the british. Set in the Dahl Lake boat house, is the most local characteristics of the landscape, visitors love to live on a houseboat, to enjoy the scenic landscape. Every day, the farmers on the water paddle their boats and carry fresh vegetables on Lake Dahl. The fresh smell of life seems to spill over the lake.

Sad romance

A palatial Castle Palace

It is practiced under the female gamma lock

If you want to explore the status of women in India why so low, it can be traced back to the caste system in India and purdah. But if you take a close look around North India, it is easy to see that some buildings in northern India still reveal these long and profound institutions.

The Taj Mahal, chosen as the "new seven wonders of the world", is the most perfect treasure of Muslim art in India, and mysterious dream buildings have left many photographers and travelers reluctant to leave.

Enchanting after the confusion

India is such a magical country, let people find its charm in the confusion.
