到过印度的人都会看到,印度军队中留着大胡子的士兵比较多。没有到过印度的人也许在观看印度电影或画报时也能看到这一点。众所周知,军队是国家的武装力量,拥有严格的纪律约束。如中国人民解放军条令条例就明确规定:男军人不得留长发、大鬓角和胡须。当然,这样的规定自然有其道理。那么,为什么印度军队中许多士兵甚至军官都扎包头蓄长须呢?其实,这与印度军队的兵员成分及世袭制度有关。 People who have been to India will see that there are more bearded men in the Indian army. People who have not been to India may also see this when watching Indian movies or pictorials. As we all know, the armed forces are the armed forces of the country and have strict discipline. As the Chinese People’s Liberation Army ordinance makes it clear: Male soldiers shall not retain long hair, horns and beards. Of course, such a provision naturally makes sense. Why, then, are many soldiers and even officers in the Indian army going to hold their own careers? In fact, this is related to the composition of the Indian army’s army and the hereditary system.
