Heroine those who are still by
many are considered as legends
have gone through this- Rekha ,
Sridevi , Vidhya Balan etc
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.

7. ``The study revealed that the hate
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
people from their communities.
These issues cannot be solved by
policing alone".
``Policies should be made
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,
then only discrimination
will end."
Northeast citizens faced racial discrimination amid
COVID-19 outbreak, says govt.study
A study commissioned by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR)
on racial discrimination & hate crimes against people from the northeast States
found that the people thinks about ``northeast India seamlessly fits an Indian's
imagination as a Chinese person ".

Balakrishnan , said

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.
