But what is the problem with having a dark skin tone? Dark skin tone is also a colour.
Most people judge beauty through skin tone. But is it still really what matters most when it comes to beauty?
Having a dark skin tone isn’t a mistake. Society judge them as weak people and some behave like they have seen some kind of ghost. But what is the fault in having a dark skin tone? Dark skin tone is also a colour.
People criticize a lot. They make fun of people with dark skin tone. But, they never once do they think how it impacts that person’s confidence. Mentally and emotionally it hurts a lot.
When a girl baby is born with dark skin tone, from there itself the criticism starts. They use lotions, creams to make her fair,so that when she grows up for marriage, the groom or his family don’t reject her for having a dark skin tone. As she grows from being a girl to a woman, the criticism also grows for being dark.
While going through a marriage proposal, people make her life a hell. Having a fair skin tone doesn’t mean a person is beautiful and dark skin doesn’t mean a person is ‘ugly’.
It requires a lot of courage to face people in the society. Never make fun of a person’s colour. They are also humans. The only difference is the colour.

While there is a glint of adventure in her eyes and a chuckle in her voice, there is also an unshakeable determination to achieve her goals which, she says, she has had from her college days. That’s Usha Rajagopalan, well-known Bengaluru-based author.
But these days her writing has taken a backseat as lake conservation has become her passion. The 67-year-old spirited senior citizen has made it her life’s mission to save the Puttenahalli Puttakare lake near her home.
Usha Rajagopalan likes calling herself a “lakeika” – a lake activist and a writer (‘lekhika’ in Hindi). “I am a writer by choice and lake conservationist by chance,” she says with a smile. Creative writing has always been a passion and she has published several books.
Who are these people who decide how a married woman should pose? Women do have a life and career outside their marriages!
Last week, a picture kept popping up on my FB feed, of a man and a woman standing close. I didn’t pay much attention, they looked like any other celebrity couple.
It was when I accidentally saw a derogatory term about the woman as the title of a post, that I read.
The woman in the pic was Dhanashree Verma, a Youtuber, choreographer, Jhalak Dikhla Ja participant and wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The man was another choreographer, Pratik Utekar.
