Complexion Issue

I study anthropology. Forget all what foreigners tell you they have political motives. Many Punjabis are very very dark, while most Coorgis and Brahmins etc., of South India very white. Even other castes. See Aiswarya Rai from South very light and Devgan from Punjab who is dark. No Darvidian Race exists and this North South divide is political. Most Indians in every corner of India are Aryans. There are some other races in the Bushes etc., in every region of India of Australoid stock.

The colour variability in India like other parts is due to climate. Many workers of Punjab had to take a lot of warm climate for thousands of years and thus are dark. though their features are purely Aryan. The Rajputs, Jats Brahmins, Lavanas, Sainis, Ramgargiyas etc., of Punjab are in general on the lighter side as most of them did not work for long in the open. Sardar Boota Singh etc., are very dark, though Aryans as their ancestors toiled all day in the open.

In general Indians a part of ancient civilization have no superiority or inferiority complex. Please do not go by foreigners or some naive or corrupt journalists in India.

Moderator's Note: Some people are extremely senstive about the colour of skin. I have edited the subject of this post.

I do not agree with u......I am a punjabi and i have a fair complexion compared 2 many indians(frm all parts of india) in my school in Australia(there r many indians in my school).Ajay Devgan is the only dark punjabi i no in the film industry who is dark!Kareena Kapoor is punjabi and she is fair and Ash is the the only south indian with a really light complexion compared 2 all south indian actors!The ratio 4 punjabi's 2 b dark is pretty less!

yeah i agree im a punjabi and im not dark....look at akshay kumar his punjabi too his not dark!!
i guess some are but most of them arnt that dark like eg. some south indians are dark and some arnt
but all im trying to say is not all punjabi's are dark 😃

i agree punjabis ratio of havin a fair complexion is far more than south indians. i think u cannot make a presumtion based on 1 person from the south ie. aishwarya rai being fair bcos a majority in the south i find r more darker not tht its bad thing.

Being Dark Complexion Is Not Bad.Is The Way You Are.And Many Punjabis That I Know In My Neighbourhood they are not very dark.

hmmm I'm punjabi ... and I'm very fair.
i dont think a judgement can be made by looking at just aishwarya rai.

Shouldn't this topic have an appropriate title? 😕

The Iyers or Iyengars(not sure) from South are very fair and beautiful. Many South Indian actresses are fair, not just Aishwarya. Also people from North-East have yellow skin. The deciding factor is the climate people are exposed to.

What are we debating on? I dont understand. 😕

I have recived several complaints that this topic is hurting many communities. So topic locked.
