Why is it called the Indian Ah San , please ask the origin

The origin of the Indian Ahsan said.

Seventy or eighty years ago, Shanghai was still a concession, so there were a lot of foreigners, especially the British, who accounted for the vast majority! In order to maintain the law and order in the Shanghai Concession, the British recruited many Sikhs from India to serve as security policemen (the term was called patrol at that time). These Indians' ** are very dark, and because of their religious beliefs, they all have red scarves wrapped around their heads.

That's why Shanghainese people called these Indian policemen red-headed black charcoal at first. However, civil servants (especially police) in the British system have long been accustomed to being called sir (see Jackie Chan's police series for details, don't they all call police sir or police sir?). ）。

In addition, Shanghainese people have always been accustomed to adding a character A in front of a monosyllabic word. Therefore, the Shanghainese people shouted and called Ah Sir Ah San, and the Indian police were called Ah San. Later, after a few months, the Shanghainese discovered that not every Indian was a Sikh with a red scarf, and that there were many other religious people in India who did not wear a red turban.

Therefore, the Shanghainese simply changed the "red-headed Ah San" to "Indian Ah San", so this impolite nickname has been used to this day, and almost everyone in the Chinese area is still used to calling the Indian "Indian Ah San". There is also a very credible statement that has been included in the slang dictionary encyclopedia! At that time, the people in the Shanghai concession often had to communicate with these Indian police, but the English of the Chinese was not good, and the English of the Indians was also strange, so the communication between the police and the people in Shanghai at that time could be said to be chicken and duck, and it was very unsmooth!

However, Shanghainese people have found new fun in this kind of chicken-to-duck communication. Because they found that every time the Indian police encountered the sharp-tongued Shanghainese, they would always meet red-eared, slurching, and like to stammer: I say...

i say...Therefore, Shanghainese people pronounced the classic stammering phrase of the Indian police: i say, in Shanghainese, and changed it to Ah San.

It is because of the above two somewhat inexplicable reasons that the relationship between the Indian and the Indian Ahsan has been rigidly equated since then. Come to think of it, the Indians are really wronged! For no reason, there are many Indian Ah San this nickname!

Tall and big, white and fat.

There are several theories about the origin of Ah San: First, people at that time described the monkey as "Ah San", and all foreigners, in the eyes of the Chinese people, were like monkeys in appearance and behavior, especially the appearance of Indians was dark, and the "superiority" of the nation made them feel that their own family was still higher than India, so they contemptuously called Indians "Ah San". Second, it is said that because Indians are colonized, they need to know English to be civil servants, and because they know English, they also like to pose in front of Chinese, and usually when they say something Chinese they are not fluent in, they will always unconsciously add a sentence "i say..."

I say. Since the pronunciation of i say is very close to "阿三", it is called "阿三". Third, in the past, because they were the leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement (a loose alliance of dozens of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America), the Indians arrogantly claimed that the United States was one pole and the former Soviet Union was the first pole, and that as the leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement, they were the third pole.

So the Chinese called them "Ah San" to make fun of them. Fourth, however, civil servants (especially the police) in the British system have long been accustomed to being addressed as sir, and Shanghainese have always had a habit of adding an "A" to the monosyllabic word. So the Shanghainese shouted and called Ah Sir Ah San.

This statement is the most reliable. Fifth, the statements of today's netizens. India has always wanted to be the boss, but aren't there still the United States and Russia ahead?

So no matter how you rank it at most, it's Ah San. Therefore, it is called "Ah San".

Because India is a colony of the British, Indians were sent to Shanghai to work as policemen and the like because of their belief in Sikhism and wore red scarves.
