India has the second largest population in the world. Why is it called "third brother"?

When you say "third brother", you don't call it by population ranking. The reason why it is called "third brother" is originally because of the title of "red-headed Ah San", and now it is gradually popular to call Indians "Ah San" on the Internet.

The name "India Asan" also appears in movies and TV series. For example, 1995 Stephen Chow starred in the film A Chinese Odyssey, in which Tang Priest claimed to be the "Indian Three" wrapped in a headscarf. In the movie "East Into West Out", Duan is called "India Ah San".

Generally speaking, "three brothers and three sons" is a derogatory term with racial discrimination. But the specific origin, the following two statements are more reliable, let me explain it to you in detail.

The first statement: Indians were working and serving in the British Concession in Shanghai. Many Indians work for the British government and work as patrolmen in the patrol room. At that time, the patrolman called the chief, and the chief sounded like A San in Mandarin. In addition, Indians at that time liked to wrap a piece of red cloth on their heads, so people called Indians "three red heads".

The second statement: This is also the time when Indians were patrolmen in the British Concession in Shanghai. When their leader, the British, sends a message to the Indian patrol, the British usually start with "I said …", which means to use words in the tone of hey, hello, etc. What our people usually use. And those Indian patrolmen also followed the British study, showing off in front of China people, and asking questions from China people with "I said". But what makes people feel interesting is that at that time, ordinary people in Shanghai didn't know the meaning of "I said" and mistakenly thought it was a British name for Indians, so they also called Indians "A San" because it was similar to the pronunciation of "I said".

With the development of network information, Indians must know why they are called "A San". I think it's a little ridiculous. Obviously, the title of "A sir" on the high floor has been downgraded to "A San".
