Racism against blacks in IPL


Recommended Posts

Not surprising in India even Indians call dark skinned Indians kalu.

Some black cricketers are popular in India,  Chris Gayle used to be popular. But because of their skin colour in their head Indians would always discriminate against them regardless of their talent.

Don't know why Indians mock dark skin, once you go past Delhi your average Indian is the same colour as dark skinned Africans.

Indians are deeply racist. My chachi in India says some disgusting things about black people. These same Indians then complain when a white person is racist against them.

No wonder the Indians were kicked out of Africa, good on the Africans doing this as those East African Indians are horribly racist to this very day. They call the Africans 'Boy'.

 As others have mentioned, the Indian aversion for dark skin is idiotic. Probably a hangover from the Varna mentality. I wonder if that's part of the reason why South Indians are a tad hostile to North Indians.

In the kamasutra it says the ideal woman is not to dark and not to light either. Now a days the lighter one is more attractive they are considered.

Indians have not always preferred light skin. If you look at the paintings in the ajanta caves from the gupta period then most the women are painted with darker brown skin and they were considered beautiful. 

I think this obsession with light skin is linked to the varna system, because bhramins are at the top and bhramins in general are light skinned than most indians.

Secondly India witnessed light skinned people invading them from the west for 1000 years. Some point during these invasions light skin, sharper and foreign features etc became occosiated with power and beauty. 

Rama was dark skinned and considered/described as a handsome man. The ramayan describes his as.

"He has broad shoulders, mighty arms, a conch-shaped neck, a charming countenance and coppery eyes;

he has his clavicle concealed and is known by the people as Rama. He has a voice (deep) like the sound of a kettledrum and glossy skin, is full of glory, square-built and of well proportioned limbs

and is endowed with a dark-brown complexion."

So in ancient times skin colour was not an issue.

I think buddha is described as having a golden brown complexion.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
