Obviously you have never travelled widely in India, there are more light skinned people in that country than there are people in Australia, lighter skinned than many European Australians.
If you compare negatives of photos of a group of European businessmen and a similar photo of a group of Indian businessmen, both groups in the same type of clothing, then it is impossible to say which is which.
Well, obviously, I have not had the time or the means to travel overseas. Nor would I want to go to shithole countries like India for a holiday. So, no, I have not looked around places like India.
But you have to be kidding me if you think Indians consider themselves white. They have commercials over there that advertise skin whitening creams. Indians are so obsessed with looking white, that Indians would bleach their skin to make themselves look like pale Indians. So, I don't know where you get the idea that there are light skinned Indians. Perhaps they were the result of the British (and other Europeans) having relations with the women there.
Where do I get the idea that there are light skinned Indians?
Personal observation and as far as India being a shithole, where did you get that idea?
Probably from videos about north India, the South is renowned for its cleanliness.
Historically Australia’s towns were also shitholes particularly Sydney when it was infested with rats and with fleas [the later within living memory]
India is cleaning up its act just as we did, remember when there were dog droppings in Sydney’s CBD?
I have travelled for thousands of miles on Indian railways, including many, many short trips on Mumbai’s crowded suburban trains and never once smelt BO.
Cannot say the same for Sydney and Melbourne and as for the London Underground. I was once nearly late for an important appointment because the stench of BO in the train was so sickening that I had to get off, fortunately the next train wasn’t so bad.
Back in the 1960s in England it was common to be told by land ladies that allowing twice a week showers was a concession to Australians.
As for the Sikh religion, it teaches that the Soul is neither male nor female, therefore men and women are equal.
Seems that Sikhism discovered such equality long before we did.
