Reborn as the richest man in India

The man's words stunned Qiaogo for a moment. He didn't expect that Bosh was looking for him.

The other party's tone was a bit tough. There was no room for negotiation. He meant that he had to go alone. What's so important?

However, with Bosh's identity, if he finds someone, few people in Mumbai would dare to refuse, and they will usually pass by without hesitation.

Qiao Ge naturally had no intention of refusing, so he would not cause trouble for himself, which might be a good thing. At least the relationship between himself and Bosh was pretty good at the moment.

It was just the look and attitude of the guy in front of him that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The five bosses next to Qiaogo immediately understood who Bosh was. They knew that Qiaogo had been having a heated relationship with Director Bosh recently, which made them seem envious.

They are all millionaires, with small assets, but they are not yet able to connect with big shots like Bosh.

If it were a multi-millionaire like Gudali, it would probably be about the same.

"Qiao Ge, the director has something to ask for. Go quickly. There is no rush here. We will wait here." One person said.

Others echoed.

Qiao Ge was not pretentious, and after asking Sara to entertain the five bosses, he followed the man out.

After going out, Qiao Ge saw a car parked outside. It was an official government vehicle.

"I wonder what your name is?" Qiao Ge asked politely after getting in the car.

"Daruyeh Thakar."

Qiao Ge understood that this guy was a Kshatriya. It could be seen from his surname. No wonder his tone just now was a bit tough and his expression made him a little uncomfortable. He was from a high caste and had a sense of superiority to others.

"Mr. Takar, I wonder why Mr. Bosh is looking for me?" Qiaogo asked again.

"You will know when you go there, where are there so many problems." Thakar glanced sideways at Qiaogo, replied coldly, and then said no more.

Qiao Ge suddenly thought, what kind of look was that, disdain, contempt?

This guy is casteist.

As a Vaishya, he is considered a low caste as a Kshatriya.

Since the other party looked like this, Qiao Ge didn't bother to ask anymore.

These days, although the caste system is still very influential, it has improved a lot compared to before.

It must be mentioned here that many people may have some misunderstandings about castes in India, thinking that people from lower castes have no chance of getting ahead.

Actually that’s not right, everything has to be divided into two parts.

There are also poor people in upper castes such as Brahmins, and these people are actually relatively miserable.

The Indian government has special care policies for low castes and untouchables such as Vaishyas and Shudras. For example, a certain proportion of university admission quotas and government civil service positions must be reserved for low castes and untouchables. This is India's low-caste reservation. Policy, during the previous Modi administration, this proportion exceeded 50%, which is very outrageous.

In other words, if a civil servant recruits 100 people, the lower castes will directly take over half of the places, and then the remaining 40 or so places will be up for grabs.

Those outstanding lower castes can also compete with the upper castes for more than 40 places. If they can't compete, they can compete for reserved places, which is regarded as two chances, and the difficulty of admission for reserved places will be much lower.

Poor people from upper castes cannot receive government relief because they are from upper castes.

Even if the rich people of lower castes are very rich, they can still enjoy various subsistence allowance benefits and some tax cuts and other policies based on their status.

Of course, in the previous life, although these reservation ratios increased, they also increased restrictions. For example, wealthy people with low-caste family income exceeding a certain amount, or officials serving at a certain level in government departments, police systems, and the military, then they and Children will no longer be able to enjoy this preferential system.

In 1986, the system was not perfect. Although the proportion of those who retained the system was not as high as in the previous life, rich children like Qiao Ge could still enjoy such preferential treatment.

Didn’t people around him think he had a chance to get into the Indian Institute of Technology?

If he really wanted to compete with those high-caste academic masters, Qiao Ge was far behind and had no chance at all.

But he is a Vaishya and belongs to a lower caste, so he can avoid those upper caste academics and compete for reserved places in schools among lower castes. Their admission scores may be hundreds of points lower than those of upper castes.

Most of the Vaishya class have average family conditions, and most of them study in public schools. The teaching quality of public schools is really poor, so those like Qiaogo who can study in international schools naturally have an advantage.

In the previous life, the voices of India's lower castes became louder and louder. After all, the lower castes and untouchables accounted for the majority, and the Indian general election depended on the number of votes.

In order to get high votes, the ruling party has to please the lower castes, so systems that benefit the lower castes are constantly being introduced.

This has caused damage to the interests of the upper castes. For this reason, many riots and self-immolation protests have broken out among the upper castes in India. Many people have died, or they have asked the government to lower their castes.

Yes, you read that right, the upper castes are asking the government to classify them as lower castes so that they can enjoy the various reservation system benefits of the lower castes.

Think about it, for example, if you take the Tsinghua University, Peking University, or the civil service exam, lower castes can be admitted with hundreds of points lower. In addition, there are various other benefits. The temptation is huge.

In the face of huge interests, the caste system is also disintegrating, and times are changing. Don't always look at India based on the previous caste system.

Just a few days ago, on May 3, 2023, a large-scale violent conflict broke out in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur, killing more than 50 people and injuring hundreds. The trigger for the riot was the main body of the state. The upper castes wanted the government to include them in special care groups for lower castes, but they were opposed by other lower castes.

Taking care of the lower castes in India is a bit like the US not being able to discriminate against black people. It has become a kind of political correctness.

Being from a lower caste is a plus for a politician, while being from a high caste is a minus.

For example, Priyanka Gandhi, the fourth generation of the Nehru Gandhi family, Nehru's great-granddaughter and the daughter of the current Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, is a first-class Brahmin, and her later husband is a fourth-class Brahmin. Tuara.

This is a model of inter-caste marriage, which greatly benefited Priyanka Gandhi and won the support of many lower castes, which was very helpful for her political career.

Of course, although her husband is a Shudra, his family is very wealthy and is a famous wealthy family in India.

You can't really marry a noble Brahmin girl to a low caste who has nothing.

If a toad could eat swan meat, it would definitely be a golden toad.

After all, you have to have money.

In fact, among India's richest people, lower castes account for more than half.

For example, the well-known Tata family of the Tata Group, the Ambani family of the Reliance Industries of India, and the Mittal family of the Indian steel giants are all Vaishyas.

Gautam Adani, the richest cheater mentioned earlier, is even more untouchable.

Most of the rich are from the Vaishya class. That's because according to India's caste classification, Vaishyas are the traditional business and trading class and are born to do business.

Therefore, most of the low-caste rich come from traditional industries.

There are many high-caste wealthy people in industries such as IT consulting. After all, IT is an emerging technology-based industry that is rarely accessible to lower castes.

In addition, upper castes have a higher proportion of senior officials in government departments, the military or the police system.
