You've probably heard a lot of myths and stereotypes about India. Some stereotypes might be true, but many are not. Mariaebinesan3, a blogger from India, tries to dispel some stereotypes most people assume about India.
或许，你听过很多对于印度的偏见和谬传。有一些可能是对的，有些则是错的。来自印度的博主Mariaebinesan3试图通过此文，消除大多数人对于印度的错误理解。
1. All educated Indians are IT professionals.
1、所有受过教育的印度人都是IT专业人员。
Fact: 1 out of every 200 workers is a software engineer in the US.Indiahas about 2.75 million software developers while theUShas 4.5 million. So do the math.
事实上：在美国，每200个人中，有1个人是软件工程师。在印度有将近275万软件开发人员，而在美国，这一数字为450万。你们自己算一算吧。
2. Dowry is prevalent in every part of India.
2、嫁妆在整个印度都盛行。
There's no dowry system in most of the North Eastern states ofIndia. In fact, in Meghalaya, marriages are matriarchal with a matrilineal system where property, names and wealth passes from mother to daughter rather than father to son. You'll find women take center-stage in every aspect of life.
在印度，东北部邦大部分地区都没有送嫁妆的习俗。事实上，在梅加拉亚邦，婚姻为母系婚姻，采用母系传承制，在这一制度之下，姓名、资产和财富都通过母亲传给女儿而不是通过父亲传给儿子。因而在生活各个层面，女性都居于核心地位。
