We Indians are naturally endowed with a tan and physical features sought by
humans of
other racial characteristics. White people are constantly trying to get a tan
and to lose weight to become as slim as most Indian (women mostly). Folks with
curly hair straighten their hair and use skin lightening creams. In extreme
cases some indulge in plastic surgery to get their perceived ideal facial
features.
Instead of mimicking the above stated trends we should be satisfied that we (by
and large) have the ideal physical contours and tan that others strive for.
Great to be Indian !!
One feature we darker skinned individuals also enjoy is delayed wrinkling of
the skin.
No need for expensive anti-wrinkling (Botox) treatment and cosmetics to mask
wrinkling.
Lets not fall into the Western trap of utilizing expensive cosmetics to enhance
our already
natural beauty.
The other self-hate trend that Indians have inflicted on oursevles is Caste.
This is an
insidous self-inflicted differentiation that separates people from birth. An
abomination
that appears very difficult to eradicate.
