A slap in the face for movie and fashion industry back home which wants to ape hollywood and happily propagates and preys on people's insecurities about their beautiful dark complexions. Only in India will we have songs which praise Krishna and Draupadi's dark complexions and also simultaneously have women tortured and abused for those very same dark complexions.<br />archiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406986130687582428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484388532916591140.post-83066361489426145992013-09-17T19:02:05.643-05:002013-09-17T19:02:05.643-05:00Great post Nincy!

I am happy for Nina and I hope that her big win will inspire women in India who are "struggling" to find beauty within their brown skin.

And this...I saw you blog mentioned elsewhere Nincy. And this piece was fantastic. I understand the whole thing from the time of the Greeks with their fair skin arriving in southern India, then to Colonial rule and how that would make people think being fair gives you power. I get that, I just don't get how a nation that lived under colonial rule would say that to eachother. You don't see a white person telling another white person that, I am sorry, your skin doesn't look like cream, it has splotches, so you aren't powerful or whatever. <br /><br />People are beautiful because we are all lucky to have been born, without people, without diversity, we wouldn't see the world through the eyes of others and appreciate beauty from all points of view. And for the record, I am a brown skin fan. :-) <br /><br />Well written Nincy, I will keep an eye on your work. <br /><br />JimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205554022096555811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484388532916591140.post-12087511243634287162013-09-17T13:07:29.952-05:002013-09-17T13:07:29.952-05:00Nice post, and let me tell you... you are very bea...Nice post, and let me tell you... you are very beautiful!<br /><br />@catytuiteraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484388532916591140.post-18104535995000156482013-09-17T12:56:39.256-05:002013-09-17T12:56:39.256-05:00good post :)

Most of all, seeing our Bollywood stars succumbing to the pressure and making money off the idea. I hope this is the beginning of the end. Future generations should know that their worth comes from more than the complexion they are born with.

I am a proud, dark-skinned Indian-American woman, and I feel that this wrongful attitude of many Indians is simply ignorance and bigotry at its finest. It sickens me that even EDUCATED Indians today still perpetuate the false notion that fair = more attractive/more superior. If people truly educated themselves about the biological/genetic/geographical reasons as to why some populations of people are darker than others, and that the more melanin you have, the better it protects your skin from direct UVA and UVB rays, and ALSO the fact that since darker skinned people are more protected, their skin has succumbed less damage and stays youthful longer, perhaps things would've been different. But like I said, if educated people still believe in light-skin superiority, what are we to expect from the uneducated masses? Like I always say, ignorance is still ok because one can learn. But to be ignorant AND racist, ESPECIALLY towards your own people is a deadly affliction.
