how many times do you want me to apologise
@utraash ?
But I realised this controversy is baseless, if Sharad Yadav said merely this....
"The women of the south are dark but they are as beautiful as their bodies...We don't see it here. They know dance."
Then I guess we 're crucifying him without any reason. I don't see anything offending in his sentence.
But I was very offended when Kumar Bishwas called nurses from Kerala "Kali, neeli..peeli". For a moment I did feel like knocking-off all his teeth.
Now let me clear my POV here, I've lived in various parts of India and 've met ppl from all walks of life. In my opinion, atleast 60% of the ppl in North India hold views similar to what Kumar Bishwas had to say, infact that number could be much higher.
The problem with we Indians is that we always look at the differences. Caste, religion and color of skin does divide India and this is a reality.
@utraash I'm the last person who would like to see my country divided, but at the same time I would like to disassociate myself with anyone who doesnt respect fellow Indians.
i had read your complete post aboout your awesomeness
It hit me so hard that I fainted last nite and regained consciousness just now.
May be!!!
But I would like to know how it all started, because if am not wrong we all come from the same dark ancestors who once lived in Africa.
Yes and No!
Yes South Indians do prefer fair skin....but North Indians make it more obvious.
And you're wrong if you thought that only punjabis hold such prejudice. Punjabis take it to a diff level but that doesnt mean rest of India or north India is free of such prejudice.
While attending a marriage at Unnao (Kanpur) one lady told us that "if the girl is fair and pretty, then lesser dowry is demanded by guy's family".And mind you that came from a lady who belonged to a very affluent and educated family.
Another incident I would like to quote is of my Kashmiri fren who has a wheatish complexion, she often came under the hammer from her fellow kashmiris who used to take a dig at her complexion. She was called unfortunate (Bechari!).
No, I seriously think he hasn't said anything offensive.
And there's no reason why we south Indians should feel offended, there's Nonetheless, such divide exists in India and throwing brick bats at Sharad Yadav is as good as shooting the messenger.
Sorry i missed this post last nite.
I think we should stop defending our color. Being dark definitely doesnt mean inferior, but as they say "People pelt stones at trees which bear fruits".
Kal raat ko toh bada gal-gal kar rahe the ?? you lil machhar!!! Lolzz
On topic, if you thought opinion of politicians don't matter then let me tell you you're wrong.
I'm just a member on an unknown forum, so even if I say lets divide my country on the basis of caste, religion and skin color then it would hardly create a ripple.
But when an elected representative (poor Sharad Yadav my sympathies with him!) say such sentences then it does 've serious repercussions. But let me reiterate
Sharad Yadav is being crucified for a very harmless comment, It is from ppl like Kumar Bishwas (the IIT/IIm educated class) who deserve to be brought under the hammer for their mendacious nonsense
In the end thats what matters.
We all 're Indians, dark or white we will get the same kinda passport and the same kinda ration. Lolzz
