India's "elephant prodigy" is born with a strange appearance. Why is it worshipped by local people as a god?

Religious belief has existed in this world for thousands of years, and it has had a profound influence on people. In the hearts of those devout believers, what they believe in is just like a god, which is sacred and inviolable, and their efforts to pursue that belief even exceed their own lives.

But with the development of modern culture, although religious beliefs have always existed, people believe in science more. But in some countries and regions, religious beliefs are deeply rooted in people's hearts. Take India as an example.

In India, there was once a child whose appearance and head were very similar to that of an elephant. In the eyes of Indians, he looked like a noble sacred object and could not be easily profaned. Therefore, they also called this child "elephant-headed prodigy", which has always been regarded as a god.

"Elephant Prodigy"-Planchou

We all know very well that the gap between the rich and the poor in India is huge. Those rich people live in extreme luxury, but those poor people can only live in slums and live without food. Moreover, the cultural level accepted by these poor people is also very backward, and even they hardly believe in the existence of "science" in their hearts.

Planchou was born in a rural area in India, and thought he was no different from other children. But what everyone never expected was that Planchou was different from a normal child when he was born. His head is very big, even bigger than that of some adults. At the same time, his eyes are very small, and he has fallen deeply into the eye socket.

Moreover, Planchou was born with congenital diseases. Because his family could not afford any savings to treat Planchou, he left it alone, and it has been developing like this.

With the passage of time, Planchou is growing up day by day. I thought he would be like a normal person after a long time, but I didn't expect his whole head to look more and more like an elephant head. This also aroused the curiosity of local residents, and they all came to see this elephant head child. Because these residents have always attached great importance to religious belief, they all thought that Planchou was a god sent from heaven to help them. So they don't hate Planchou, but they worship him.

There is a legend about "elephant" in India, and the elephant god is also regarded as the god of breaking obstacles, fate and wisdom. They think Prashu is the reincarnation of the elephant god, and they also give him a name: Lord Ganesha.

Planchou's life

Anyone with a little scientific knowledge knows that Planchou's present condition must be caused by illness, and it is definitely not the reincarnation of the elephant god. Moreover, doctors have also said that Planchou's congenital defects are caused by local water pollution, and his illness is incurable, and his life expectancy will be greatly shortened because of this disease.

There are four brothers and sisters in Planchou's family besides him. Not only does he suffer from this disease, but one of his older brothers also has the same symptoms, but his appearance is not as different from that of normal people as Planchou. Although Planchou is different from normal people, he has never felt inferior. No matter at school or in life, teachers, classmates and neighbors like him very much. And Planchou is also very kind at heart.

For any of us, appearance is very important, because the first impression a person gives others is appearance. If you are handsome in appearance, you will naturally be loved by many people. On the contrary, if you are "strange" or even "unsightly", people will have a kind of resistance from the bottom of their hearts. At present, every prospective parent has done a lot of work before the birth of their child, hoping that there will be no physical defects after the birth of their child.

We may think that a person who is born with congenital diseases will be somewhat distorted in his mind. It is difficult to get along with people and even do something extremely harmful to society. Planshunk used to feel inferior because of his appearance. Looking at others is different from himself, I feel a little sad in my heart. But he received enough care. Perhaps people simply "respect" him to show that they don't hate him. But in Planchou's mind, this is enough.

The most important thing is that people firmly believe that Planchou was reincarnated as an elephant god. I often make some wishes to Planchou. Miraculously, most of these wishes can be realized. At the same time, Planchou often "prays" for the villagers to bless their happy lives. Therefore, from these things, people believe in this "elephant prodigy" more.

It can be seen that Indians have been unable to extricate themselves from their pursuit of gods, even though they lack scientific common sense. On the other hand, it also shows that religious beliefs have a very powerful influence on people. But this is a good thing for Planchou. Instead of being rejected by people because of his physical defects, he has always been enshrined because of people's beliefs. Originally, his family was already very poor, and the diseases he and his brother were born with were even worse for the whole family. It is precisely because of what some villagers have offered to them that this family will live a hard life.

Planchou inspires us

No one will know his situation when he was born, let alone predict his future development. The only thing we can do is to grasp the present and let more people accept ourselves. On the other hand, we can also see the influence of caste system in India on people.

A long time ago, India's caste system thought was very serious, and each class had different rights. The people living at the bottom will never turn over and will always be slaves in the eyes of the people at the top.

Although the caste system was abolished after India's independence, it has been deeply rooted in people's minds for thousands of years. Besides, they have no way and no chance to receive good education knowledge.

As a result, they still retain their original ideas until now. In fact, there are many families like Planchou who have lived in slums for generations. However, they are not as lucky as Planchou. They may never have a bright future and be imprisoned by those old ideas forever.

In today's science-oriented society, we should look at the problem from a scientific point of view, resolutely resist those so-called waiting for me to be feng shui, religious beliefs, but we have no right to interfere, but we should also believe reasonably, and we should not be occupied by those so-called illusory things.

Learn scientific knowledge carefully, enrich our minds and enrich our lives with knowledge. While improving ourselves, we should also try our best to let more people with poor conditions receive basic knowledge education.
