Saints of India

There is a long-standing tradition in India: girls from Dalit families began to serve temples when they were young and became sexual slaves of senior Hindu monks and Brahmin elders. They are called saints. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, these low-status rural girls had to give up the traditional marriage mode and dedicate their lives to the local gods to perform religious ceremonies and prayers for the villagers in their village. As soon as they entered adolescence, they married the temple in ceremonies and celebrations, and then spent candlelight nights with the monks or elders of the temple.

Saints usually live with their families and serve the temple until they die. Then, just like the fate of pimps in European brothels, the old saints began to retreat behind the scenes and make suggestions for the next generation of saints. In India, "saint" is not a decent title. Although people respect and fear them, they still kowtow to them; However, everyone knows what role those high-ranking girls are playing. The so-called "seal saint" is neither a queen nor a female star; Instead, it is a poor child with the most tragic fate. But who wants to send her daughter out to be humiliated if there are conditions at home? This sounds awkward. In the final analysis, it is due to India's ancient cultural traditions.

Traditionally, all "Indian saints" come from untouchable families and are forced to sell themselves into monasteries as soon as they enter adolescence. In front of people, there is a glamorous name of "saint" to cover up the shame, but behind it, it is nothing more than a free "sex slave" of senior Hindu monks and Brahman elders. You can't hide such a scandal. Therefore, a girl who walks into a temple and dedicates herself to the gods is doomed to sell her youth and body and lead a strange life of never getting married. According to the notes of China's ancient Arab travelers about India, there is a similar holy prostitute in India, called "Buddha prostitute": if a woman makes a wish in advance, after giving birth to a beautiful girl, she will bring her daughter to the Buddha and give it to him. After that, my mother had to find a house for her in the market, hang colored curtains and let her sit in a chair, waiting for visitors. Both Indians and foreigners-if their religious teachings allow such behavior-can play with her as long as they pay. This woman, relying on this business, sent the money saved every time to the abbot of the temple as a subsidy for the temple.
