QA問答:為什么民族獨立這么重要？

Anand Nyamdavaa, Worked in Development Field
Consider my country Mongolia. It’s located between China and Russia. Two of the biggest countries in the world, they also possess the biggest militaries in the world. No other country in the world can attack Mongolia, as they would have to go through either Russia or China. So in this situation one might ask, why is independence important for Mongolia?

說說我的國家蒙古。它位于中俄之間。世界上兩個最大的國家，也擁有世界上規(guī)模最大的軍隊。沒有其他國家可以攻擊蒙古，因為必須經(jīng)過俄羅斯或者中國。所以在這種情況下，有人可能會問，為什么獨立對于蒙古來說這么重要？

Mongolia suffered two hundred years under Manchu rule and seventy years under Soviet unx. What we lost:

蒙古被滿人統(tǒng)治了200年，被蘇聯(lián)統(tǒng)治了70年。我們失去了什么：

Lineage tree: Due to these occupations, Mongolians lost our lineage tree and history. Before, every family could, based on their books, tell at least 9 previous generations. We were able to say if we came from Chinggis Khan ancestry or not.
Language: during soviet occupation, our written system was abolished. We followed the more “modern” Cyrillic alphabet.
in both occupations freedom fighters and people who advocated independent policy were arrested and shot.
Chinggis khan and his legacy was forbidden to study during Com...ism
Religion: Buddhism (lamaism) was introduced into Mongolia to pacify warlike Mongols

1、世系譜：由于這些占領(lǐng)，蒙古人失去了自己的世系譜和歷史。以前，每個家庭根據(jù)家譜至少可以向前追溯9代人，這樣我們就知道自己是不是成吉思汗的后代。
2、語言：蘇聯(lián)占領(lǐng)期間，我們的書寫系統(tǒng)被廢除。我們采用了更加“現(xiàn)代的”斯拉夫文字。
3、在這兩次的占領(lǐng)中，自由斗士和倡導(dǎo)獨立政策的人們被逮捕和殺害。
4、蘇聯(lián)政府禁止人們研究成吉思汗及其遺產(chǎn)。
5、宗教：佛教（喇嘛教）被引入蒙古以安撫好戰(zhàn)的蒙古人。

So what have we learned from this? If you want your culture, language and traditions to remain with you, keep your country independent. We have a great saying:
“Миний нутгийн газар шорооноос бурхан гуйсан ч б?? ?г”.
“if god comes to you and asks for some dirt from your land, don't give it”
Meaning that your country, your motherland is more important than anything else. Btw its also motto of our Border Guards…

所以我們從中學(xué)到了什么？如果你想保護自己的文化，語言和傳統(tǒng)，那就要讓你的國家保持獨立。我們蒙古人有句老話：“如果神想從你的土地上獲取一些土壤，不要給他”。
也就是說你的國家，你的祖國比任何東西都重要。順便說一句，這句話也是我們邊境部隊的座右銘。

Mongolia was never a part of the Soviet unx and was never occupied. It had Soviet army stationed though…
The com...st government made great effort to reduce Buddhist influence. Also it was introduced during the Yuan dynasty, several centuries before the Manchu occupation.
Chinggis Khagan was taught in history books as a part of the long Mongolian history. com...st Russia didn't dedicate a whole book to Ivan IV and Alexander Nevsky and com...st China didn't talk about Li Shimin and Ying Zheng that often. They tend to focus more on the history of the common folks - the ordinary people that worked, died, and served under the great leaders and conquerors.
Cyrillic alphabets was introduced when the majority was illiterate and an obsolete ...... scxt with sets of special rules and exceptions isn’t generally suitable for the progress the People's Party tried to make in a short time follow by rapid industrialization.
While tribal structure is an important part of the Mongolian heritage it also is a hierechy dictated by the feudal ruling class, Tajis, Wangs and Khans.

1、蒙古從來不是蘇聯(lián)的一部分，從未被蘇聯(lián)占領(lǐng)。只不過有蘇聯(lián)軍隊駐扎在那里。
2、蘇聯(lián)政府努力減少佛教的影響。而且佛教是在元朝期間引入蒙古的，過了幾百年后才被滿人占領(lǐng)。
3、蒙古歷史書里是有教授成吉思汗的歷史的。蘇聯(lián)也沒有整本書都討論伊凡四世和亞歷山大內(nèi)夫斯基，而中國也不會經(jīng)常談?wù)摾钍烂窈唾Ｋ麄儍A向于更多的關(guān)注普通人的歷史。
4、斯拉夫文字的引入是因為當(dāng)時大部分蒙古人都是文盲，而且過時的維文有很多特殊的規(guī)則和例外，這不利于蒙古的快速發(fā)展。
5、雖然部落結(jié)構(gòu)依然是蒙古遺產(chǎn)的重要組成部分，但卻也是封建統(tǒng)治階級所規(guī)定的等級制度。

You skipped the part were Mongolia had China under its rule.

蒙古也統(tǒng)治過中國，你省略了這部分。

I come from a country that suffered a herculean colonial exploitation which lasted for about 1.7 Centuries;
India , the Jewel of the Crown of imperial Britain.
Now when we look back into history, India had always been the Global Powerhouse of the World and had a lion’s share of the World GDP for most of the history.
The share of the Indian GDP in the world was about 25% when the British set foot on the shores of India in 1700s

我來自一個被殖民剝削了170年的國家；印度，大英帝國皇冠上的那個寶石?，F(xiàn)在我們回顧歷史，印度一直都是一個世界強國，在大部分的歷史時間里其GDP都占據(jù)世界的大頭。
18世紀(jì)當(dāng)英國人開始登陸印度時，印度的GDP大約是世界的四分之一。

And half way through their administration [ or say maladministration] , the GDP share was halved, i.e. around 12.5 %
And when they finally left , the share of the Indian GDP fell into a bottomless pit- an abysmal 4%
So while the British consolidated their position as a Global Superpower, they left India in complete tatters.

Now, let us look at the loss of human lives during the famines caused due to the benevolent British Administration.

在英國統(tǒng)治印度一半時間左右的時候，印度的GDP占比幾乎被砍半，只有12.5%左右。
當(dāng)英國人離開時，印度GDP跌到谷底，只占世界GDP的4%，所以雖然英國鞏固了自己的全球超級強國地位，可是它卻讓印度變得如此不堪。
現(xiàn)在我們來看看英國政府所引發(fā)的大饑荒所造成的死亡人數(shù)吧。

A staggering 50 Million Indians perished while the British minted money, mined and shipped away the Indian resources in between 1770–1942.

Now, I hope it is understood why National Independence is important .

英國人在印度印鈔，采礦和運走自然資源，在1770-1942年間，有5000萬印度人死亡。

現(xiàn)在你明白為什么國家獨立如此重要了吧。

Hridith Sudev (?????? ?????? ), A dedicated lover of history for twelve years
As an Indian I am saddened to refer to my country as ‘India’, an English name derived from Indus River which in turn comes Arabic Hindus, which is a poor translation of the river’s actual indigenous name Sindhu.
Despite having 22 official scheduled languages and around 1,550 dialects, I have to name my Motherland in a foreigner’s language BECAUSE We were not independent for a solid 200 years. This is what colonialism does. No matter who or how good, the colonizer is, it destroys the individuality of the colonized peoples.
That is why National Independence is so important.
To preserve the integral sense of who you truly are.

作為一個印度人，我真的不想稱呼自己的國家為“India”，這個英文名源自“Indus River”（印度河），而Indus又源于阿拉伯語的“Hindus”，而這個翻譯是很差勁的，因為這條河流的固有名字是Sindhu。
盡管印度有22種官方語言和大約1550種方言，而我卻必須以外國人的語言來稱呼自己的祖國，因為我們被外國統(tǒng)治了200年。這就是殖民主義干得好事。不論殖民者是誰，他有多好，但是它都會摧毀被殖民人口的個性。
所以國家獨立是這么的重要。只有民族獨立，你的完整性才能得以保留。

Why is national independence so important?
Because, in the end, people (you & your fellow nationals) prefer to be screwed by your own than be screwed by foreign forces that want to impose their own rules on you and steal your wealth.
Of course, that doesn’t mean ‘your own’ won’t steal your wealth, too… :)

為什么民族獨立如此重要？
因為人們（你和你的同胞）終歸更喜歡被自己人瞎搞，而不是被外國勢力侵略和掠奪財富。當(dāng)然，這不意味著“自己人”不會竊取你自己的財富。
