One of the first things they are taught at homes are color discrimination followed by caste discrimination gradually followed by a host of other discrimination. Bigotry runs deep in this society and they accept it as a norm, it's openly accepted. Have a look at their marriage portals, look at their film industry, look at their advertisements and you won't need a second opinion. The moment they face racism outside India, it comes as a rude shock to them. After all they too, like the White-Supremacists, think that "White" is supreme and they after all are quite "White" and quite "Right". And this holds true for "most Indians" if not all. y don’t u guys run a google search at how racists Indians are and how comfortably oblivious they are to it.

Its a disgraceful thing to portray that guys reject dark skinned girls and pick fair ones. But the society laps this up greedily and the product actually sells! We are the most racist, sexist country for sure. Not to forget class-divide. Its very sad that the ad-makers are picking on the biggest weakness in the society – skin colour.
