2. Racism is a system of structuring opportunity and assigning
value based on physical properties such as skin color and
hair texture racism, also called racialism, the belief that
humans may be divided into separate and exclusive
biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link
between inherited physical traits and traits of personality,
intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral
features; and that some races are innately superior to others.

high time we need to fix this.....

Heroine those who are still by

It's just not about ads or movies but also
in other profession like one being the
anchor in news , sales person , as well as
in real life we see this situation wherein the
girls possession dark skinned are
thoroughly discriminated
5. Aftermath of the discrimination
If person is again and again tortured about the same thing then it can lead to suicidal thoughts
and that person may try to commit it.
Person may suffer from varieties of mental disorders it can be depression , mood disorder etc
The person may start developing criminal tendency or can start to avoid social interaction
Awareness campaign
In today's world the impact of social media can help a lot to create awareness in people's mind regarding the
prevailing prejudice about dark skinned females ,
By providing equal opportunities to everyone keeping aside the prejudice of fair and dark skin one
, we can explore the potential ability of the person in whole.
Since childhood a boy or a girl should be made aware that we leave in a society where everyone is different
in colour, caste and creed . But then also we possess one thing in common that is humanity , we need to be
kind with those who are different from us they possess something that is god's gift and it is not to be
mocked, people differ in possessing potential and one must respect it.

crime & racial discrimination against
people from the northeast is deep-
rooted even in the cosmopolitan
cities. Most of them faced problem
while renting house, even in
restaurants they faced issues forcing
them to eat mostly in eateries run by

policing alone".

in such a way that those
who are not getting life
opportunities, should be
provided life
opportunities. This should
be the policy of the state,

8. The Hindi film industry has failed to
provide recognition to the
Northeastern communities. The
themes mostly explored in the
movies are to the point of incessant
repetition, highlighting only the
prominently known cultures, cities
& states of India. This one-sided
characterization of the country with
a population of almost 1.5 billion
people fails to account for its
cultural diversity.
