I think everybody in India has a healthy BROWN skin! Whats wrong with that?!?!?! I LOVE the fact that I have a dusky brown skin. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was an American friend of mine who happened to be visiting IndiaIceMaidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667516172075286778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717939.post-48496792855946733992011-10-20T11:03:51.533+05:302011-10-20T11:03:51.533+05:30very true and very very nice post.

I remember growing up watching those Fair & Lovely ads and feeling insecure about my dark skin. Since coming to Aus, I actually get compliments from all my white friends who are envious about my colour! And yet, everytime I visit India, I get comments from family friends in a negative way about how dark I have become!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717939.post-54938703594042869652011-10-06T23:55:18.072+05:302011-10-06T23:55:18.072+05:30I completely agree with you what you have written....I completely agree with you what you have written. But I agree with Rahul too.<br /><br />Even I personally like being fair skinned and I find ti attractive. It is a matter of personal choice. But sometimes, i like dusky complexion too. <br /><br />The campaign should be to create awareness and being dark-skinned is not a stigma. One should not demean others and throw condescending remarks. <br /Megha Sarinhttp://www.meghasarin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717939.post-90207853680725447582011-10-05T16:45:22.891+05:302011-10-05T16:45:22.891+05:30Nice post...am following you now.Nice post...am following you now.JANUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983287092498427967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717939.post-28199392241327418152011-10-02T17:22:38.251+05:302011-10-02T17:22:38.251+05:30A really very interesting read!
