We do not have fair skin and we are proud of it!

A
A BBC article interviewed the organizers of the famous Indian show Miss India, a contest that, over the past 56 years, has put India on the map of the world by winning several international crowns. We won 2 Miss Universe Universe and 6 Miss World. For a nation proud of its beauties, many of which are dark in color / and have won laurels internationally, the article suggests that "organizers are obsessed with fair skin". It's no wonder that a media house with the credibility of the BBC has jumped the torch with such a fragile attempt not to belittle the high-end beauty contest of India, but to show the whole country in an unfavorable light?

Looks like all the article was done without a minimum of research nor any intention of being honest.

The BBC chose to write an article that only featured their version of the article:


• "Many of their biggest hits were light-skinned women"

However, if you review some of the names of the winners, you get a radically different picture.

Here, look. Priyanka Chopra – Miss World 2000, Lara Dutta – Miss Universe 2000, Diana Hayden – Miss World 1997, Nicole Faria – Miss Earth 2010, Sushrii Shreya Mishraa, Miss United Continents 2015, third finalist, Noyonita Lodh Miss Diva Universe 2014, Priyanka Kumari – 2017 Miss India Intercontinental fbb colors, Shreya Rao Kamavarapu – Miss India 2018 fbb colors, 2nd runner-up, Shraddha Shashidhar – 2017 Miss Diva Universe and Anukreethy Vas – Miss India 2018 Femina Colors. The common denominator between all these names, namely that They are all celebrities in the brotherhood of fashion and film and have made our country proud by representing India on international platforms, that is, they do not have the clear skin. In their article, the BBC stated that we, the re-enactment organizers, were obsessed with fair skin, but that the names of our winners, cited above, clearly negate this baseless badertion.

It is hardly surprising that so many people are wondering how the BBC, which prides itself on the quality of journalism, could make such a biased article that bases its research on a simple tweet. The winners of the beauty contest are not determined by their images and how they appear in print and digital platforms. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the organizers are obsessed with fair skin because all the names of the winners mentioned above are not fair.

India is a multicultural and multiracial nation whose constitution makes no difference between anyone on the basis of color, caste or beliefs. The beauty contest is no different. In reality, the competition is as inclusive as possible and the selection process is diverse to include people from all regions of the country, including the Northeast, who generally feel slightly ignored by the general public. In fact, participants from this part of the country, such as Priyadarshini Chatterjee, Aradhana Buragohain, and Peden Ongmu, have not only won the Miss India / Miss Diva contest, but have also successfully represented India in the world. international.

The parade allows participants to take charge and offers holistic training and training of the best in the sector and improves and develops their personality and their level of confidence. The beauty pageant platform gives the candidates a reputation, recognition and popularity that translates into better life opportunities and higher financial compensation in their areas of interest such as modeling, anchoring, acting, television, web series and movies. It not only becomes the face of many high-end brands, but it also lends its voice to various causes to build our society and the country in general. They then become a source of inspiration for their communities and gain greater respect and positioning with their families, friends, communities and parents.
