This article offers a theoretical excavation of the brown savior, a figure that has taken on a critical role in the newly reconstructed help industries in India. Brown saviors help us to think more critically about the global help industries, an area in which racializing processes have been relatively understudied despite the fact that, historically, nearly all help interventions have focused on previously colonized peoples. I suggest that the brown savior is a figure that reveals the contradictions in the contemporary help economy, which reproduces forms of racialized difference and hierarchy by conscripting new actors who can ascend to the role of savior and, therefore, continue the project of racial capitalist accumulation. I specifically place the category of “brown” in relation to “savior” in the Indian context to draw attention to how a particular class of savarna (dominant-caste) Hindus was historically constituted and actively reproduces colonial-era racialized values through twenty-first-century help economies tethered to their economic, political, and social capital in both India and the United States.

“棕色救世主”的诞生

本文提供了对棕色救世主的理论挖掘，这个人物在印度新重建的帮助行业中发挥了关键作用。布朗救世主帮助我们更批判地思考全球帮助行业，尽管事实上，从历史上看，几乎所有的帮助干预都集中在以前被殖民的人民身上，但在这个领域，种族化进程的研究相对不足。我认为棕色救世主是一个揭示当代帮助经济矛盾的人物，它通过招募可以升任救世主角色的新演员来再现种族化差异和等级制度的形式，从而继续进行种族资本主义积累的计划.稀树草原（主要种姓）印度教徒在历史上是通过 21 世纪帮助经济体与印度和美国的经济、政治和社会资本联系起来的，并积极复制殖民时代的种族化价值观。
