Well....after reading so much about F& L, I felt like penning my views too...!!
Iam reminded of my school days when we were painting , we would end up using pink colour to colour the faces we had drawn...! and my drawing teacher ( Sir Dickson) would always insist that we use brown and NOT pink to colur the faces....!!
And he would expalin this to us by a lovely story..! heres what he said.’’ When GOD was baking the dough to make humans, there were 3 types of bread that he ended up making:
The Africans were the over baked bread, hence they are dark.
The Europeans, Americans were the un-cooked bread, raw bread, hence they are so fair.
WE INDIANS ARE THE BEST COOKED BREAD, hence we are browns....!!
sweet tale.....!! I still share this tale with my students....!
Why are we so paranoid about complexion....?? All shaadi ads mention.. wanted Gori bride..
