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.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
