It’s because in India yrs ago only rich people could go to a school where they taught English. So it was a status symbol. Like an expensive car or something of that sort. Plus in the colonial times when Britain ruled India. British people thought of themselves as superior. That kinda got ingrained into people of India as well n other places where Britain’s rule was. Hence lighter skin is seem as superior by people n so is going to a school where English is taught.
