　However, Indian porridge dishes basically put a lot of spices into the pot, so they always have some spicy taste!

　So, when Belkov saw the buffet lunch arranged for today, which was all traditional Indian food, he suddenly lost his appetite.

　But there was no room for being picky at the moment, so he had to try his best to find something non-spicy to fill his stomach. He took a cup of milk tea and a piece of scone, without dipping them in any paste, and sat at the table in the corner, eating alone in a depressed mood.

　Until a fragrant breeze with a slight scent of curry passed through the aisle and landed beside him.

　A half-naked girl in a veil came over with two plates of dessert and sat down opposite him, placing the plates in front of Belkov.

　"If you really can't handle spicy food, try something sweet! I found canned pineapple and cupcakes, both of which you like."

　The half-naked Indian girl said in fairly standard English, "You have to eat a lot to have the energy to participate in the festival!"

　"Ahaha, thank you so much!"

　Looking at the egg in front of me

　Belkov's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the cake and pineapple. He threw away the scones and grabbed the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he joked, "I am so lucky today. I even have the famous Queen of Bombay and Mrs. Kamathipura serving me."

　"How can I be considered a big shot in front of you? Now, you guests from the Soviet Union are the most beloved people in the red-light district of Kamathipura, the saviors of all the poor women... Of course, you are my saviors too!"

　Gangubai Katiyawadi, the legendary mafia queen of Mumbai, whose story was later made into a movie, said this with a smile.

　Author's words: PS: Due to the emergence of H-therapy, many politicians in this plane will live longer.

　For example, Sukarno would probably have lived as long as Prince Sihanouk.

　In fact, during the Iranian coup in 1979, if the king had not been terminally ill and the crown prince was still young, causing paralysis of the central government, it would probably not have been so easy for Khomeini to overthrow the royal family.

　Next, because STDs are no longer a threat, will the world become more "prosperous"?

　Chapter 350: The Big Sister of the Underworld Wants to Be a Brahmin

　As we all know, the vast majority of upper-class people in this world are moralistic on the surface, but thieves and prostitutes in their hearts.

　It is certainly extremely difficult to get them to truly implement their own nonsense about benevolence, righteousness, morality, etc.

　But if they are asked to tear off the cloak of greatness and justice and expose the thieves and prostitutes directly, they will probably face huge resistance.

　As a complex and diverse ancient civilization, India once had an open-minded ancient times, but has become conservative in modern times.

　You can't use the fact that modern Indians wear less clothing to prove they're sexually liberal—they wear less clothing simply because it's hot, and it has nothing to do with their extravagant lifestyle. On the contrary, they're actually quite conservative when it comes to relationships, and arranged marriages are still very popular. Just like you can't assume that relationships were promiscuous in old China because poor girls had no pants and had to work bareback in the fields.

　Therefore, when the "Tantric masters" and their apprentices from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe fled from war-torn Indonesia by boat all the way to Mumbai, India, seeking cooperation with Indian officials, the Indian dignitaries were naturally eager to learn about the "sex therapy" that could cure all diseases.

　Countless high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals were willing to spend vast sums of money to have a chance to have a romantic encounter with these female "Tantric masters" from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. As for upper-caste Indian men willing to practice "Tantric Buddhism" and thus ascend to the upper class, there were even more numerous.

　——India's upper class has a long tradition of monasticism. Otherwise, Gandhi would not be regarded as a Mahatma, but as a madman.

　However, if upper-class Indian women were asked to donate their bodies and participate in it, being ridden on by thousands of people, and after becoming proficient in it, they would have to be barefoot and half-naked, bid farewell to gorgeous dresses forever, and wear less than Gandhi... this would make them feel very resistant.

　Especially when you have just come into contact with the supernatural powers of the "Tantric Master" and are still unclear about its actual effects and side effects.

　Even those Bollywood actresses, considered playthings by the rich and powerful, might not mind sleeping with foreign dignitaries. But if they were asked to practice some "Tantric" sexual practices that would lead to social ruin, they wouldn't be very willing to do so unless they were offered sufficient benefits.

　It wouldn't be a big deal if they failed to cultivate, but if they really succeeded, according to the rules, wouldn't they have to say goodbye to their career in the film industry?

　In other words, they have no problem serving as the cauldron for the Russian "master", but they are not happy to practice on their own.

　Therefore, the task of serving as pathfinders and experimental guinea pigs was naturally given to the Indian prostitutes in Mumbai's red-light district.

　At this time, in Kamathipura, Mumbai's largest red-light district, there happened to be a legendary woman - Gangubai Katiyawadi.

　This woman's reputation in India's sex trade was such that she was known as the Queen of the Prostitutes. Hundreds of thousands of prostitutes in Mumbai and other places spontaneously erected a monument in her honor. Her portrait hung for 50 years in Kamathipura, Mumbai's largest red-light district. People respectfully called her "Lady Kamathipura."

　Many years after her death, many Indian prostitutes still worshipped her portrait as if she were a god.

　Why is it that in India, where women have a low status, a mere prostitute can have a monument erected and be deified by the locals?

　Because Gangubai Katiyawadi has three labels: a prostitute, a mafia member, and a women's rights activist who was received by the Indian Prime Minister.

　These three contradictory labels make Gangubai's life full of legends, and she can be called a real-life heroine.

　——In 1939, Gangubai was born into a lawyer's family in Gujarat, western India.

　Being a lawyer is a highly respected profession in India, and Gangubai belongs to a high caste. Therefore, she did not experience the hardships that other Indian women suffered since she was a child. Instead, she grew up in the pampering and honeypot of her parents and received a good education.

　This was something that ordinary Indian women in the 1940s could not even imagine.

　As a child, Gangubai was particularly obsessed with movies and dreamed of becoming a popular Bollywood actress one day.

　But because her parents protected Gangubai too well, she became too naive and unaware of the dangers of the world and the unpredictable nature of human nature.

　at 16 years old

　That year, Gangubai fell in love with her father's accountant Ramnik and eloped with him to Mumbai. Ramnik lied that he had connections in Bollywood and could contact directors for Gangubai to help her make movies in Bollywood. The naive Gangubai believed him and stole all the family savings. She followed Ramnik to Mumbai, where Bollywood is located, to fulfill her dream of becoming a star.

　As a result, in 1955, as soon as the two arrived in Mumbai, Ramnik sold Gangubai to a brothel in Kamathipura, India's largest red-light district, and then disappeared with the 1000 rupees he got from selling her, plus the money Gangubai brought from home.

　In this way, Gangubai had no choice but to accept her fate and became a prostitute in the red-light district of Kamathipura.

　Because she was a "lady" of a high caste, with fair skin and unparalleled beauty, as well as being well-educated and proficient in many talents, she was a very popular and rare commodity in the brothel. Soon her reputation spread far and wide, and many men came to her, and the threshold of the brothel was almost broken down because of her.

　After becoming a top beauty, Gangubai met the local mafia boss Karim - an Indian version of the "Godfather". Although he had committed many crimes of murder and robbery, he also performed many chivalrous deeds of robbing the rich to help the poor, and his reputation in Mumbai was quite good.

　Gangubai managed to win the favor of Karim and became the "sworn sister" of this big boss, then joined the top of the gang and obtained the "territory management rights" of the red light district of Kamathipura. From a prostitute at the bottom who was at the mercy of others, she jumped to the big sister of the entire Kamathipura!

　If it had ended here, Gangubai would have been just an ordinary female gangster who got lucky.

　But what is rare is that even after controlling the entire red-light district and owning her own brothel, she still did not forget her original intention.

　Gangubai did not cruelly exploit the local prostitutes and indulge himself in luxury, but instead treated the sisters under his command with almost the utmost kindness.

　For girls like herself who were trafficked into brothels without knowing it, Gangubai would let them choose to stay or go.

　If they choose to go home, she will give them travel expenses.

　If they choose to stay, she will try her best to provide them with a clean and tidy working environment and guarantee their income and life.

　She opened bank accounts for the prostitutes, taught them how to save money, and allowed them to plan for their future.

　She raised funds from various local social organizations so that children born in red-light districts could go to school and receive an education.

　Tens of thousands of prostitutes and children were grateful to Gangubai, and many of them called her "mother" directly.

　What really made Gangubai famous throughout India happened in 1960.

　That year, the Indian government considered the red-light district in Kamathipura to be "indecent" and prepared to forcibly demolish it and raze it to the ground.

　But while Kamathipura is a hotbed of crime, it is also home to thousands of low-class prostitutes. Without it, these poor women would have nowhere to go but to wander, a fate worse than selling themselves in the red-light district.

　For this reason, the prostitutes gathered and petitioned, hoping that Gangubai would seek justice for them.

　Gangubai gladly went there. Facing the national media, the 21-year-old delivered a thought-provoking speech, criticizing the injustice of Indian society towards the lower classes and calling on the government to introduce laws to protect the survival rights of sex workers.

　This speech shocked the top Indian political circles, and the founding leader President Nehru invited Gangubai for talks.

　At the beginning of the conversation, Nehru ridiculed Gangubai, saying that she could have found a good man to marry, so why did she continue to work in this line of work?

　Unexpectedly, Gangubai replied: If you are prepared to make me Mrs. Nehru, I am willing to give up my career forever.

　Nehru was shocked - he never thought a prostitute would dare to talk to him like that?!

　But Gangubai then smiled and said he was joking: "It is always easier to preach than to practice."

　In the subsequent conversation, Gangubai appealed to Prime Minister Nehru's emotions and reason, saying that the tens of thousands of prostitutes in Kamathipura were already very unfortunate. If the government did not arrange new jobs for them and destroyed their homes, the result would only be another human tragedy.

　After the talks, Nehru promised Gangubai to handle the matter more appropriately, and the Kamathipura red-light district was ultimately saved.

　Gangubai became known as "Mrs. Kamathipura," commanding the votes of hundreds of thousands of people in the red-light district and gaining a degree of influence in politics. Women who admired her hung her portrait in their homes, and some even erected monuments and statues in her honor.

　-

　However, no matter how famous Gangubai was or how much she was loved by prostitutes, she was ultimately just a marginalized person in society who was involved in gangs.

　Although she has tried her best to change the environment and appearance of the red-light district in Kamathipura, the social foundation is still like this. Under her protection, prostitutes can do the flesh trade in Kamathipura in relative safety, and the profits taken away by brothels and gangs are already the limit.

　They are still discriminated against by society, excluded by people, treated unfairly by the government and officials, and are always at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

　A considerable number of prostitutes died before the age of 30, and some prostitutes lost their fertility due to "work-related injuries."

　——Even Gangubai herself could no longer have children of her own because of her frequent soliciting of clients and unscientific contraceptive methods.

　Even if their children study

　Shu will still find no future because he is the child of a prostitute, and it will be difficult for him to escape the quagmire of the bottom of society.

　This means that even if a prostitute's daughter is educated, she can only come back to continue her mother's business, and even inherit her mother's old clients, while the prostitute's son becomes a pimp for his sisters and mother... This scene is really hellish to think about, but it is a true story that happens every day in Mumbai.

　Even Gangubai's father, who once doted on her the most, could not forgive his daughter for her shameful act of falling into prostitution and bringing shame to the whole family until his death.

　(If I were to make an analogy, Gangubai is a bit like the boss of the Mox Gang at Lizzie's Bar in Cyberpunk 2077. She's not a saint, and has her own selfish desires and various flaws. But at the bottom of this dark and cruel society, she's definitely a good person and a clean stream.)

　This made Gangubai feel very painful, and he often doubted whether all his efforts were in vain?

　No matter how hard she tried, she was ultimately just a lowly existence like a urinal. Her sister had only jumped from the nineteenth level of hell to the eighteenth.

　In this situation where she saw no way out, she could only rely on smoking, drinking and gambling to vent her inner depression.

　However, in 1965, with the sudden rise of the "Tantric" craze and the supernatural power of "sex therapy" that "cures all diseases", this miraculous thing actually appeared in this world. Gangubai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he vaguely discovered an opportunity to change his destiny.

　Therefore, when the Soviet "Tantric Master" came to Mumbai, the 26-year-old Gangubai volunteered to be a test subject and had a fierce battle with the "werewolf" Belkov, experiencing his "sexual therapy" and was overjoyed that all his old illnesses and injuries disappeared.

　Next, without waiting for any hints from the upper echelons of power, Gangubai took the initiative to ask to bring several of her close sisters to follow Soviet "Tantric masters" such as Belkov to practice joyful Zen and strive to become a person with super powers.

　As for the precepts he must abide by in order to become a "Tantric Master," Gangubai said nonchalantly, "My past fate has already cost me my family and love forever. Now, for the greater good, what harm is there in discarding my clothes and shoes?"

　After she practiced day and night with Berkov and others, and practiced in various ways, she finally succeeded in entering the door and was promoted to the first level of "Tantric Master". Then Gangubai handed over her brothel and territory to others to manage, and donated most of her property to poor prostitutes and children in the red-light district of Kamathipura. She announced that she would follow her master in traveling and concentrate on practicing the "Tantric Heart Method", so she would have no time to manage worldly affairs.

　Then, she took a group of prostitutes and followed the footsteps of Belkov and others, having sex day and night and practicing "Tantra".

　Belkov expressed confusion about Gangubai's choice - as a powerful, wealthy and prestigious underworld boss, Gangubai rashly gave up her territory, property and wealth, and followed them to tour temples across India and participate in various group activities... This is as incredible as Buddha Shakyamuni abandoning his luxurious palace and beautiful wife and running to the wilderness to practice.

　Even if you are obsessed with super powers and want to upgrade to a higher level, there is no need to go to this extent, right?

　Anyway, you have already entered the realm of "Tantric Master". Even if you want to continue practicing and upgrading, wouldn't it be good to practice Joy Zen in your own brothel?

　It's not like Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, had to find enlightenment under a bodhi tree. Tantric Buddhism's enlightenment can be achieved simply through sexual intercourse!

　"It's not that simple, Mr. Belkov. If I continue to stay in the brothel in Kamathipura, practicing in silence, even if I reach the fifth level of Tantric Master, I will still be nothing more than a prostitute with superpowers."

　Gangubai smiled and explained, "But if I follow you, visiting temples all over India and constantly upgrading myself in grand festivals, I will become a Dhamma-enlightened ascetic. When I return to Mumbai, I can openly build a temple and worship the gods!"

　Well, it turns out that Gangubai was "learning" from the "Tantric Masters" under the pretext of gilding herself to the 5th level of "Tantric Master". After accumulating enough reputation, she went back to raise funds to convert the brothel into a temple, and changed her job from a gang boss to a goddess of sticks!

　Next, the Kamathipura red-light district, which originally belonged to the lowest class, will instantly be transformed into a high-end, elegant and classy religious holy place!

　And prostitutes who used to have a low status can also be upgraded to priestesses... Although they are still selling their bodies, the level is completely different.

　In India, this is equivalent to a quick rise to heaven: at least the upper-level priestesses can definitely be promoted to Brahmins!

　If you are not a Brahmin, how can you be qualified to preside over a temple?

　But the real Brahmins just can't belittle the status of the "Tantric Master": if they still want to describe this superpower as divine grace.

　Moreover, in Hinduism, there is actually a belief that one can achieve enlightenment through ascetic practice and thus improve one's caste status.

　Otherwise, why are there so many ascetics in India who torture themselves to death?

　So, if group sex is considered asceticism, then the extraordinary abilities of the "Tantric Master" are a gift from God...

　Then, shouldn’t a person who becomes a “Tantric Master” change his caste and become a Brahmin?

　Although India's caste system is deeply rooted and seemingly unshakable, what if the intervening force is God?

　Brahmins are nothing more than servants of God. Under the oracle of God, all secular rules must give way to them!

　So, in the case of the extraordinary advent, everything is possible - at least that's what Gangubai thinks.

　In addition, with the protection of "sex therapy", as long as they practice "Tantra" diligently and cultivate a group of people with super powers, the prostitutes in the red-light district of Kamathipura can be free from the troubles of sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases, so there is no need to worry about their lack of piety.

　By then, even if Gangubai wasn't qualified to establish a sect, she would at least have achieved a status similar to that of a "disciple of the Buddha." Then, in Mumbai, she could build a true "temple of sex," inviting pilgrims from all corners of the world. Who would then accuse her of corrupting her family traditions and bringing shame to her ancestors?

　(Just like Christians cannot say that the Virgin Mary was shameless and brought disgrace upon the family by getting pregnant before marriage.)

　After hearing Gangubai's ambition, Belkov, who had no religious concept because of his Soviet origin, was stunned for a moment.

　However, considering their close relationship during this period, Belkov nodded in support and said that he would try his best to support her.

　Gangubai immediately offered to bear Belkov a child as a token of gratitude. Perhaps by then, she would have achieved enlightenment and returned home pregnant, which would have been even more sacred?

　Belkov: Hey, you really want to be the Virgin Mary?

　Chapter 351: Is this Buddhist Tantra or Hindu Tantra?

　The setting sun slowly sets in the west, taking away the heat of the day.

　The refreshing evening breeze blows through the treetops in the forest, bringing a touch of coolness to people.
