Ask them to kill themselves. Sick people. Dark skin is a blessing. My family is utterly lovely in some ways. They have never implanted all these sick biases in us. Y U no tell me what you study Polo? 😭

You are too kind. ❤️ India is one of the worst places for women to live. The so-called violent countries are at least explicitly misogynistic. India boasts of progress, and has the deep misogynist trend running through it, affecting both the older and younger generation of men and women alike. 😭

As I said to one of my good guy friends, who keeps telling me not to generalize..

Through years of mental and physical abuse, dowry system, Sati system, India consistently topping the chart of the most violence committed against women in the world lists, with the idea of stalking and eve teasing being romantic, victim blaming, s**t shaming- Indian women have gained a little bit of a right to generalize. 😉

Seriously though, I have grown up in an all male family. I have no sisters, none. I adore men. I do. But when at the end of the day, I still see the Nachni practice still alive and breathing in Purulia, where I went to talk to them and help out with a documentary, see the number of the women coming to report to police doubling, listen to the women from my own association about the horrific ways they were treated, I cannot help but being a little judgemental.

You won't believe how women live in some places in India, Disha. We are very, very lucky.

🤣 so ironical isn't it? Indians really define hypocrisy in the truest sense.

You're lucky Annie...I'm very fair by Indian standards...

And this is a trait that's got me praise😕 in MY house and my husband's house...(even in my house there are still comparisons to this date - my dad and mom are darlings, but this comparison-aspect is something they've sadly inherited even though they only mean it in a light-hearted note!)

As for my husband's house -its a borderline obsession! In fact,in my husband's house I recd mass approval because of my looks/colour..they still talk and talk and talk about stories of grand-aunts and the sort in their family who were VERY VERY fair...

'I'm like yeah..even ghosts are very very fair!'

I beg to differ with you Paulo. Trust me,its just a section of people who talk in a certain way."peculiar" the way you call it. But its just not fair for people to stereotype it. Most people speak hindi very fluently here as well.Despite the fact that,hindi is not our mother tongue.thats commendable really.

the sad thing is only the "peculiar" population has been made famous. Add to it meenamma's BOKWAAS hindi in chennai express. I have never heard any south indian speak hindi that way 😕

I can speak very fluent hindi and in a non-peculiar way.And it used to annoy me when my north indian friends used to say "arre.tum itni achchi hindi kaise bol leti hoon?" And im like,dude!im an indian too u know!
