I was reading a news article in which African student association in India's president Samuel Jack said there is deep rooted racism issue in India.
First reply was : This kaalu should stfu. We are not racist.

Oh it was very brave of Abhay to specifically name and shame the offenders. All others make generic remarks and it makes no difference. Btw the biggest offender is Yami-why did he leave her out?

Firstly offender is a wrong word ...iit it was a crime they would have been behind bars...if any of them have supported the superiority claim in their ...you can call them irresponsible and insensitive ...even greedy.

Secondly...nothing brave sitting behind the monitor and making a tweet ...if he is serious about the issue he should'go. And file a PIL on all the ad he considers inappropriate...instead of throwing the ball in the air ...and hoping some else will catch.

NDTV has been running a campaign claiming they they don't encourage fairness ads on their channel...typical pseudo liberal approach ...don't solve the problem ...just associate with the problem to stay relevant.

NDTV is solving the problem. Educating the society who is the root cause of the problem. Thats the whole point of the campaign.To condemn the prejudices of our society that promote fairness . The fairness products or advertisements is a effect to the cause, not really the cause. They cater to the demand of the society.If the society demanded of something else they would have gone with it. They would even start selling tanning beds if we start asking for one.

Although I do agree if someone has a problem with the advertisements rather than naming and shaming them that lasts for a week at most they can always file a PIL to question the relevance and effectiveness of such products.Cause thats the only problem with such products, they promote false claims misleading the people. Some people do but I don't know how do they end up and such products and their false claims still find their way to consumers. Also I have a problem with stars promoting things irresponsibly knowing very well how well they can influence the consumers and their buying choices.

Why people are blaming the actors? One of the reasons these actors became successful and are liked by the audience is coz of their fair skin. Can a black guy with great acting skills, good looks, charm, screen presence and charishma ever become a Superstar in Bollywood??? This notion existed since ages that white skin is superior than black skin. I'm myself having a dusky skin tone and I was ridiculed a lot of times in schools and colleges coz of that. Even my own family members have pointed this to me so many times. Even I got insecure of my skin and started using fairness products but nothing worked on me and eventually I stopped. In India, it's a sin to have a black skin and this will not change if some celebrities will stop endorsing fairness products. They are just doing their job.

I believe speaking about the problem and creating awareness is a good start. Filing PIL is also part of the same as it will create conversations. What in your opinion could be more concrete steps someone like Abhay or any celebrity can do?
