The introductory statement made by Roy, accurately said – “There is one social evil that is widespread and deep rooted in India, and nothing, absolutely nothing, is being done to change it – it’s the widespread discrimination based on the colour of your skin. White is beautiful, dark is ugly. Colour prejudice in India is not only widespread, analysts say it’s getting worse every decade. They say forget the fact that nothing is being done to change discrimination based on the colour of one’s skin – on the contrary – we seem to be doing our best to make this prejudice deeper and more pernicious. We sell products, creams and gels and allow advertisements that reinforce this social evil”.
