Dusky or Fair.....

Why r dark people potrayed as ugly and r ill treated?l mean poor Kesar has bn so ill treated by her husband n her inlaws all coz shes darker thn every1else.shes bn forced to have so many abortions becoz her husband dont want a dark heir?Ragini (from Bidaai) also she was abused so much and called the ugly sister coz she was dark n Sadhna was fair..l guess my question is y should it matter if yo dusky or fair? lm kno tht its jst a tv show bt daz ths realli happen in real life? wat r yo opinions?

i can understand what Kesar and Ragini go through because I myself am dark.

l'm glad l u guys understand what lm wat lm saying, it just doesnt seem fair. lve also noticed that in most shows/dramas/soaps they use darker actors to act ther roles of goons and the poor🤢 what kind of message r they trying to send??

yeah u r right..............just don't understand why people r always after makeup and outer beauty........these things r only temporary ..............

I dunnooo maybe it happens buh i being a gal neva fink lyk dat i myself m fair so neva been through ne such stage in ma lyf where ppl tlk abt ma complexion or sumfin buh i personallyy dun do it...GOD has made us all n v shud luk at sum1z heart nah just d complexion..i lyk bit less fair bit duskyy guysss ehehe dun lyk gooraa goraa guyysss:p

It's a sad fact in Indian society that fair people are considered to be beautiful, and more deserving of the better things in life. We have a relation who has a son who is very fair skinned and he went all over the place to find a girl equally fair skinned, cos god forbid that a slightly darker girl would be good enough for his 'gora chitta' son.

i like ur post,this issue shud be raised in front of our socities

I don't really know where the fair skin bias in indian culture, really comes from. It could be from when it was part of the British empire. But personally I think its because light-skinned people make a minority in India, so its deemed exotic. Odd but you have the filp side in western counties like the UK, An US where white people (boys and girls) are constantly using fake tan to make themselves darker, an pale white skin is almost as undesirable as dusky skin is in India.
I really can't understand why people seem to despise dark-skinned individuals so much in Indian societies though, that they go to the extent of beating, ridiculing on a daily basis and refusing in some cases to show any affection to their own children.
In the case of Shakti like I said in another post, people really ought to show him sum youtube videos of rihanna and beyonce, and then be told that these two black not white women have about two billion drooling at the bit male fans. I would love to see shaktis reaction to that fact. Personally I think shakti is like a parrot who just harps on his parents beliefs. Cos didn't have a cast bias? I wonder where this bias went when he married arushi?

I agree. There are some darker women who are more prettier than fair women.
