I just watched one of the most important videos ever made for us Indians explaining how skin colour was used for 1000 years to destroy our core. We need to change this.
Firstly a disclaimer that I am in no way related to this Youtuber and I just learnt about him and this video from another redditor’s comment.
Ok wow. This YouTube video called History of Colourism in India (link added in the comments) I just watched has got to reach every Indian. Young/old (especially the young kids and teenagers), Indians of every state, NRIs. Everybody. I wish someone translated it onto their language and passed it on. Screened it for free in villages and classrooms.
Yes it’s that important.
Understanding our history is important to reclaim our pride and identity and this video shows how we were a once a very advanced, progressive society and our identity and self esteem was destroyed first by Islamic invasions and then Portuguese and British with their primitive ideologies of slavery and beauty standards and used skin colour and our spectacular diversity against us.
British planted stooges, Bollywood, cosmetic companies and other things made it worse after independence.
It’s time to question this stupid obsession with skin colour, change and go back to our roots and be a progressive, advanced, united nation that respects all humans equally.
I request the mods to please watch this video first if they think this is an unwarranted promotion. It absolutely spoke to the DNA within me and we really need this information to spread. Reels, shorts, School kits, all need to be done on the information seen here.
It’s way beyond just skin colour but has got to do with ideology, self esteem of entire generations, the mindset and so much more.1
