Ever noticed that?, from bollywood movies to ms universe models to news broadcasts alot of the indian women are a white or creamy colour as opposed to the darker skinned women of india?, anyone got any reasons as to why? i think it is the same or similar to alot of other south asian countries or possibly asian countries.

Maybe because they look exotic to Indians and Indians like that?

Or maybe they think they're cleaner or something, I live near quite a few Bengalis and alot of the lighter skinned women and girls don't wear a headscarf (they're muslim) and are free to do what they want, though the darker skinned ones wear a headscarf and it restricts their' chance of a good life and education compared to the lighter skinned women.
