It is not racism, my dear. If you are out in the sun a lot, day after day, as the banjaras are, even fairskinned people get tanned. Also, people working in, say agriculture or a coal min, e have accumulated grime on them that makes them look darker. They cannot afford hamaams and milk baths.
It is also a fact that roughly 7o% of Indians are between saanwala and dark, and this is spread across all classes. The business giant Aditya Birla was quite dark, and very striking in his looks. All the Ambani men are dark. The number of very fair people like Rajat is quite small
