Kollywood's Fair Skin Obsession Video Essay | Nimisha Sajayan | Aishwarya | Jigarthanda DoubleX

[@qwerttzizzi]

That's what I noticed too. Nimisha was so refreshing in Chittha. Indians obsession with fair skin girls is so weird. 99% of Indian women are brown..but they show the 1% of the female population..

Still.. Nimisha is a Malayalee actress... She became a popular and established actress in the Malayalam movie industry then only kollywood thought about introducing her to tamil movies.

Huge issue in Bollywood as well, the huge majority of North Indian women don't appear like Bollywood actresses Visit North Indian cities…. You will find 99% of women look like dusky Indian women not super lightskin Bollywood women. In Punjab, Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, you won't locate many who are as light skin as women portrayed…. In Pakistan, wherein Punjabis make up 70-80% of the populace, Sindhis and Pashtuns predominate inside the film industry. Even there Punjabis are seen as too dark lol Bollywood producers make a concentrated effort to discover the lightest-skinned actresses, many of whom can be combined with european descent (Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani, Evelyn Sharma, Dia Mirza, Jacqueline Fernandez), or they arrive from populations that faced centuries of being conquered by Iranian/Turkic Arabs, and/or Brahmins who have intermixed with foreign invaders for prestige which occurred many times in North India, from areas where the populace become closely combined with foreign dna (Rajputs, Haryanvi). a lot of these actresses require glutathione injections to seem even fairer, and many use make-up that their skin tone even more.

Casting of AMY JACKSON (A british actress) as a local woman in village against a dark skinned hero(Gethu 2015 and many more ) truly puts light on colourism in indian cinema..especially south indian movies portraying that only fair skinned woman are beautifull..

[@je_flane]

South Indian industry also include Malayalam... which has arguably the most native/native looking heroines. ...Bollywood, though represent all of Hindi heartland, employs actresses of one sub ethnicity (punjabi/pahadi) or mixed race (European) actresses like Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhat, Dia Mirza etc. So it is tad unfair to paint colorism as a 'especially south indian movie' industry problem

The reason is.... colonisation, material superiority. If you look at ancient India, brown men/women and dark skin was considered as the epitome of beauty in the world (Lord Krishna, Lord Ram, Cleopatra etc) Because in those times, dark skinned people had the highest wealth in the world so they were looked up dark skin as a beauty standard.

[@clairedelune6482]

In the intial days the Camera itself was built to capture lighter skin, if you see old photographs or movies, the brown/ darker skin was not captured properly. Because of that, most of the actors and actresses were lighter skinned or had to wear much lighter make up in the indian movie industries. Later when the technology grew and we have better camers to capture the true beauty and essence of darker skin tones, but still people think that actors have to be light skinned especially for actresses thats the norm. And they still think that only lighter skinned actresses are comsidered pretty or eligible to be " heroines".

@@rohitchandran97 The film's narrative poses the brahmin as the citizen ideal and the non-brahmin as its lawless all-pervasive "other". However, the film is in effect a statement about actually existing democracies wherein the brahmin and the citizen can exist only as never realisable ideals. The brahmin's individuality is overridden by his caste identity, which thus contradicts his claim to being a citizen. At the same time, for very many citizens, citizenship remains an unrealisable concept, for access to power and justice in a modern state, as the film demonstrates, relies very often on extra-legal means. The film thus raises several binaries that are opposed to each other, for instance those between a citizen and a non-citizen, caste and citizenship, democracy and mass participation, etc, failing in the end to resolve the contradictions it raises.
