Bro, I am certain they have fair and lovely ads in Pakistan aswell.

THats what I was getting at. But when you are fed the same propaganda for generations , your mindset will be effected no doubt. These labor workers probably look around and notice that all the "land owners" happen to lighter than they are. I think INITIALLY lighter tone indicated that...

You touched a good point here. Light skinned according to who really right? WHat I have noticed is that North American Blacks do not have such mentality. A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that they are a catalyst of western pop culture.

Not sure if serious. Do a before and after picture :lol:

Yea thats true eh. You ask any random commoner from south asia about what he thinks of the UK and the US. And most likely he will tell you that its a land where everyone is a genius, obedient, rich. Oh I also think bollywood plays a huge role in shaping peoples (misguided) opinion on beauty ...

Why blame the advertisers? They are running a business afterall. Do you think the people of south asia had similar ideals prior to the mughalai and British occupation of India?

How effective are those skin lightening creams anyways?

lol yea perhaps. I think it was highlighted by the introduction of "AIT" to the mass. But I think this phenomena also exists among other non white Caucasians aswell. Perhaps the issue is not as severe as the one in the subcontinent. I guess its more noticeable in places like India where you...

Where do you think the disdain for darker skin came from In India and other south Asian countries? Is this a new socially constructed phenomena, or have the people from that area always put fairer skin in a pedestal? Its funny that tanned skin in south asia represents the labour class...

This is so true

Not shocked to be fair. Lol I have had my share of Indians telling me that I am : a. nor a real Nepali based on my appearance b. Actually Indian because Nepal "belonged to India in the past".

I get that similar to Monaco -France type of relationship. I think there would have been many countries like Nepal and Bhutan had the Brits not unified the princely states within what is India of the present day. Still there is no denying that Nepal and India are practically inseparable...

lol shit just got real (mods please do not lock this thread for a while) .

To be fair brothas, our hindu nationalists would probably have done the same . I remember when I visited back home , this "dishwasher guy" entered the kitchen. The other workers in the house beat the crap out of him because he was not allowed to come into the kitchen due of his caste. He...

Religion is like drugs for the illiterate.

This would not have happened if everyone just used ipads :coffee:

Nepali contemporary music. THere guys are NRNs obviously lol our most famous export :P

The tone/ style of singing sounds a lot like Nepali :D

WHat? ^ lol are you serious? Its stupid on the girls part to prance around wearign her bikini at 1 am ... but that does not justify her being raped. Some people have foot fetishes... does this mean that girls are not allowed to walk around barefoot? :disagree:
