We Indians glorify fair
skin and despise brown complexion. She is such an intelligent woman when one
looks at her achievements. It is interesting to note that some of the
negativity comes from people who cannot put an intelligent sounding sentence
together. Firstly, To all those who tweeted hate about this stunning beautiful
woman, who danced the most sensational dance of her life are not worth the
ground this woman walks on. But we Indians also forgot that we are also one
among those people who discriminate people on the basis of color.
When Nina davvuluri was
given the honour of Miss America, we Indians celebrated her success and went
back fighting when others called her dark. But once when we start looking at
what we are and how our insight is on what beauty is one would praise Americans
for taking such a strong step for ranking a dark woman number one. How many of
our actors portrayed the role of darks in a movie? How many women who are dark
in color won the beauty pageants in India?
One thing which still
haunts me is about the matrimonial websites where we really see such content on
color being given importance. If we continue to be judgemental obviously we
cannot expect others to be normal but however we accept things as we wish them to. Starting
from school level I have been a witness of discrimination. Even a kid in India
has a problem making friends with a darker person. Is this how the system made
us?
Even darker people are
filled with promise and love, one shining example is Nina Davvuluri. Its high
time that people stop being a disgrace to the human race by discriminating
people on the basis of color. We should always encourage and not hate people
who never harmed us.
