Why do tourists’ faces turn red after seeing India’s “unique landscape”?

As we all know, India has a very long history and culture like China. As early as my country’s ancient times, India had deep exchanges with us in many aspects, especially during the Tang Dynasty of my country. Xuanzang, the Master of the Tang Dynasty, once went to India to obtain scriptures. Therefore, the development of Buddhism in our country has a lot to do with India. In today's era, everyone seems to have some prejudices against India.

"Magical Country" - India

Today's India is a "magical" country in our eyes, and it is also a holy place for everyone to travel during holidays every year, but at the same time, everyone In our impression, India is also a country that is dirty, messy and poor. Their living habits and customs left a deep impression on us, such as the garbage in the streets and the trains full of people when traveling. etc., all make everyone think that India's development is too backward. In fact, there are reasons for these.

But if you have never been to this country in person and just look at a few pictures or videos on the Internet to define this country, it would be a bit one-sided. In fact, people who have actually been to India in person They are all moved and attracted by the charm here, especially with a deeper understanding and love for their own lives. So what kind of magic does this country have? Let’s discuss it together next.

In addition to having a long history of cultural development, India and China are very similar in another aspect, that is, India is also a country with a large population and a large number of ethnic groups in the country. It is composed of 100 ethnic groups. It is a multi-ethnic unified country. Although India's land area is not very large, its population ranks among the top in the world, and is even close to catching up with China. However, because its land area is much smaller than China, people are allowed to travel to India. It feels very densely populated. Tourists are often very depressed by the dense crowds on the street. Moreover, there are not only crowds on the street, but also some livestock such as cattle and sheep, and even snake charmers. It looks very scary. After all, there is no such scene in other countries.

When traveling to India, do your homework in advance

And when traveling in India, you must do your homework in advance, because the culture of India is very different from that of China. If you don’t do it in advance, In terms of homework, it is difficult to adapt to the life there. If you ask a person what should be the most important thing to pay attention to and prepare for when going to India, I believe many people will answer toilet paper and chopsticks. Why do you say that? First of all, you don’t use chopsticks when eating in India, so you must bring your own chopsticks when you go there. In addition, the toilets in India are all open-air toilets, and there is no paper in the toilets. People don’t have toilets in their homes, so it’s okay to bring toilet paper in advance. Very necessary.

If you are lucky enough to meet Chinese people doing business there, it will naturally be a lot easier, because they already have a very thorough understanding of local customs and customs when doing business in India, especially in life. In terms of food, you must adapt, otherwise it will be very difficult to stay in India for a day. For example, when it comes to going to the toilet, going to the toilet in India is very different from that in China. Almost every household in China There are toilets, and there are many public toilets on the streets, but it is completely different in India. In India, almost every household does not have a toilet, and the toilets on the streets in India are still open-air, because There is no toilet in the home, so in the early days, women in India formed "cliques" when going to the toilet. They often took urinals to remote places before dawn for convenience. But now, in many homes in India, There are also toilets.

The most "unique scenery" in India, people are shy to leave

Seeing this, everyone feels that living in India is too difficult. In fact, this is not the most difficult The most difficult problem is water use. In India, water resources are very scarce. Most Indian residents are very short of water. According to surveys and studies by some experts, it is predicted that in the future of India in 2030, More than 40% of people will have no access to water, so even from a global perspective, India is one of the countries with the most difficulty in solving water problems. It is indeed far worse than China, where water is basically not a problem for Chinese people.

Because the water problem of Indian residents is very serious, there is a term called "water wife" in India. "Water wife" means that these people specialize in transporting water. In addition to this term , India also has a living habit that in the eyes of others is a "different kind of scenery", and after seeing this scene, foreign tourists often cover their eyes and leave with blushing faces. What is this scene? Let’s talk about it next.

This unique "landscape" is that you may see a large group of people bathing together in India at any time. When tourists go to a place with water, they will often see such a scene. For them, this is a natural open-air bathhouse, and what’s even more incredible is that they don’t have too many worries or feel embarrassed when taking a bath. On the contrary, after seeing such a scene, some foreign tourists Will be shy and leave quickly.

Seeing the water in India makes us love life even more

Why do they think it is normal for them to bathe like this? Because this has become a living habit in India, and because India is very short of water, almost every household does not have enough water to bathe alone, so they can only choose this way of collective bathing, such as in rivers on the streets and in India. The Ganges River in the country is a "holy place" for them to bathe. Because this lifestyle has become a habit, when they bathe, no matter men, women, old or young, they will not feel uncomfortable, but enjoy the process of bathing. If you look at If tourists don’t understand, they will choose to ignore it and wash themselves.

Luxury is like wine, it both excites and debilitates people. ——Karl

Seeing how hard life is in Indians and how frugal they can be with water, everyone must have this feeling: that is, I am so happy living in China, what do I want? There is nothing, at least you don’t have to worry about water, but in India, even bathing is a problem, which is really disappointing. Therefore, people living in China must always remind themselves that they must save water in their lives. Don't waste resources, otherwise one day, the earth's resources will be exhausted. By that time, it will be too late to regret. Human beings should also live in harmony with nature. Protecting nature is to protect our own home. .
