Indian: What is the color of your skin

Recently I have been reading news about the attack on the Indian student in Australia. I followed these news with lot of passion and zeal. These action are very much deplorable and indeed shame on the people who are doing this but this also bring us to a question on the other side of the coin. Is the Indian society free of racism? Are Indian the most tolerant in the world? A definite "No." And Here are my reasons why Indian are the most racist of all the race.

The first and foremost question asked in an Indian marriage is the color of bride skin. Does this line sound familiar to you: Need a fair skin bride for my son or looking for milky-white girl for myself. This is one example where Indian show racism in subtle form. Don't look beyond your next door. You will find smell of racism in your family. Accept it or not it does exist in one form or the other.

The second kind of racism that exist in Indian society is in the form of North India -south Indian-Bihari- UPwallas-Marthi-Ghathi-Bengali-etc. This list will never stop. Don't you think this is racism? The recent North Indian vs Marathi incident just show that how prevalent this whole thing is in India. Did any news paper or TV channel asked if this was not racism than what it was.

The third is the caste based racism. People belonging to lower class are not allowed to go place of worship. They are not allowed to enter certain part of the village. They are not allowed to work in the field. They are not allowed to change their profession. What is this if it is not racism?

Next is the Government playing caste (or racism) card to win election. Want example: Look no further than Mayawati in UP. What she is doing? Instead of building society, she is dividing the society and thinking of becoming PM. On the other side the Fedral government or Central govt is implementing reservation based on the caste. Doesn't Indian govt promoting racism? What is happening to bright student who are not able to get admission in school or university. They are forced to go out of India to get education and suffer racism in the respective country.

Want further proof? Police will go to lower caste people and will rape their women knowing that nothing will happen to them. If they go to register complaint against these policemen, they will be again raped at the police station.

What more you want? Do you guts to standup and fight with Indian society, if not then don't complain. First look inside yourself and know if you are racist or not.
