The surpassing example is Tamil Nadu, which reserves a total of 69% of government jobs: 1% for tribal people, 18% for dalits, 30% for the OBCs and 20% for a subset of them—members of castes once categorised by British colonisers as "criminal tribes" and now known more delicately as "de-notified communities".

非常明显的例子是泰米尔纳德邦，其预留了全部政府岗位中的69%：1%预留给部族人口，18%给达利特人，30%给 OBCS ，其余20%给予那些&亚种姓&——这些种姓曾经被不列颠殖民者归类为&犯罪部族&，现在则微妙地被称为&未申报群体&。

It is over 250 years since Afghanistan was cobbled together, from many ethnic groups, and two centuries since British colonisers tried stretching their writ to India's (now Pakistan's) north-western frontier, where the plains crumple up towards the Hindu Kush.

According to the clear water experiment, aeration performance of the new equipment is good with high total oxygen transfer coefficient and oxygen utilization ratio.

The environmental stability of that world - including its crushing pressures and icy darkness - means that some of its most famous inhabitants have survived for eons as evolutionary throwbacks, their bodies undergoing little change.

稳定的海底环境─包括能把人压扁的压力和冰冷的黑暗─意谓海底某些最知名的栖居生物已以演化返祖的样态活了万世，形体几无变化。
