on one of the Indian channels...I heard an advertisement ..saying"fair skin people are liked and loved by all..improve yourself by our product"
We are all born with a certain skin color and texture as per our genes or the race we come from..but to my mind I had seen people has a certain liking towards lighter skin ..as compared to darker one..thou.I have never taken a fancy to lighter skin ..as the lighter skin people are ugly too...it all depends on you facial features and grace to carry yourself....
Hailing from India..where a common person thinks "fair is beautiful " something which stands apart actually is nothing but a myth..which creates a problem in society when a girl has to be married!!
If we see around us ..in India the majority of people has a wheatish complexion even thou they claim themselves to be fair with different features as per the states...
there is lot of competition in india among a fair and dark skin females..for no apparent reason..studying in the university I had noticed girls trying to improve their complexion by using all weird things and sometimes ending up with an acne problem getting a skin lighter but ugly looking...all guys wanted to go for light skin girls as their girlfriends...I have been seeing this since I came to this earth how much importance is given to lighter skin...
(before N after)
I never had any problem as per color or anything else..thought myself to be very fortunate otherwise it was difficult to exist in this competition..(just kidding)..but always thought about those girls who had no confidence as the Indian society is so biased...as per skin color...
We had a maid in India ..whose daughter was very fair ...she was a teenager in those days...and everyone had a fancy towards her for skin color..saying "she looks like princesses"thou I found her facial features very ugly ...and the girl I am talking had so much attitude..didn't listen to anyone..was put on pedestal for no reason!!
This is so gender biased and if there is a girl on the way with a dark skin ,I mean its pathetic for kid..even if parents are good and lovable but the whole company kills the confidence..
and when she is rejected by people on basis of her color..its like kicking out somebody for no reason!!
Obama's triumph proved that any child can dream of becoming president, regardless of skin color. We in America may have reaffirmed the notion that the color of a person's skin shouldn't matter. But for many people across Asia, the color of skin matters a lot. In recent years, "skin whitening" has become a huge industry in countries like China, Korea, Japan, and India...
light skin is deemed more beautiful, in both men and women. Indian actors and actress almost always have milky white skin, or use lots of makeup to made to look lighter. Actress Bipasha Basu who has darker skin than most other Indian actresses, has been made to look lighter through makeup and her pictures are airbrushed for the same purpose....
Skin color has been given undue importance for a long time. Some people argue may be in jest that because of the British rule in India, Indians developed this admiration for the white skin There are also references in Indian literature glorifying the white skin and where the image of a fair flawless skin is construed as a key factor for a person to look good! every girl wants to be sucessful bollywood star ..and thinks a key to this is a fair and flawless skin..
which is a myth!
