True. Lot of desis don't like Frieda pinto. May be because a total nobody shot to fame.. In terms of appearance she is a plain jane as they call. No distinct features that set her apart. A forgettable face. This i am talking from an Indian perspective. For forugnners she might look unique. Slum dog promoted career of many Indian artists at the international level. ARR, Anil kapoor, Frieda. I don't like her because she is a terrible actress.

Yoda-esque Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Same India-Different Story Recently, a University of Chicago student wrote about her traumatic experience while on a study abroad trip to India. I was on the same University of Chicago-sponsored trip to India, but I have something very different to say. I was in some of the same groups that RoseChasm was in; I explored the same temples and caves; and I danced in the same Ganesha festival on my first day in Pune. But I cannot justify the same negative publicity that the article addresses. I want to address the consequences that arise from writing that lends itself to careless generalizations. The problem that this article has is that it ends up blaming an entire population for the actions of some. Many comments in response to RoseChasm’s article consist of Indian men and women shaming themselves because of what some Indian men have done and are doing. There are Indian men apologizing for being Indian men because of the message in this article. My goal in this response is to create a better overall attitude toward Indian men. As the only black woman (and individual in general) on the trip, I can definitely say that I had a very unique experience in my program. Men stared at me in India. Women stared at me. Children and teenagers stared at me. All the time. I wanted to become invisible in the crowd. I felt that I stood out even more because I stood out very starkly from the Indian population and especially from my white and Asian peers. I was also targeted with harassment, and I felt violated many times on the trip. However, in my experiences in India, I have met a solid handful of warm and honest Indian men- men who are also college students, men who also love the thrill of riding on a motorcycle in the busy streets, men who defended me at necessary times, and men who took the time to get to know me and my culture. And that should not at all be surprising. Men took pictures of me. But we must think that the same thing happens in America. We seldom stop to think of the abuse that Facebook or even Snapchat can hold in regards to people’s images. We are privileged with tools, and many Americans-men and women- use these tools to take inappropriate, malicious pictures of other American individuals. Knowing this, we cannot criminalize Indian men for doing the same. This does not at all justify any malicious use of people’s images- we just cannot attribute this crime to generally Indian men. To address the attempted rapes on the program, I was also very frightened while on the trip. After hearing about the attacks that happened to girls I knew, I also stayed up at night wondering if someone was going to break into my room. RoseChasm has addressed this, but what RoseChasm doesn’t address is the fact that rape happens in America as well. This focus on what happened to one individual on a study abroad trip to India makes it seem like no woman can enjoy a trip to India and that she would be ultimately safer in America. We must be aware of the rapes that occur worldwide, but we also need to internalize the fact that rapes in our country happen on college campuses, in cities, and in other unimaginable social situations. And people of many different ethnicities and racial backgrounds commit these acts. So why should all Indian men be subjected to judgment for the rapes that some men have committed? RoseChasm does not address the fact that there are warm and honest men in India. When we do not make the distinction that only some men of a population commit a crime, we develop a stereotype for an entire population. And when we develop a negative stereotype for a population, what arises? Racism. I am black, and I have to deal with the fact that even today in America many people characterize my entire race by the choices made by some people who have the same color skin as me. It doesn’t matter that I am an American, and it doesn’t matter that my mother raised me to have good morals. For all we know I could walk up to someone at night in a hoodie and I could be mistaken for someone who will do harm. When we allow a population to be subjected to a stereotype, we allow people to take action on a person based on that stereotype. Why did George Zimmerman feel justified in shooting an unarmed black young man in a hoodie? Why do people stay away from certain Chicago Transit Authority train stations? Why do people immediately freeze when they drive into a predominantly black neighborhood? When we make comments against a population, we create a movement of hatred and ignorance that is difficult to reverse. I understand RoseChasm’s pain, and I too had a hard time readjusting to life in America after my experience in India. I truly hope for her to be well again, but I will not sit back and allow the image of India’s men to be tarnished by an article that does not articulate other sides to India. I experienced love, excitement, and awe in India. And while I did experience unacceptable harassment, I know that my ability to not generalize a population will allow people to see that we must find another way to deal with this issue. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1023426 Two conflicting reports between two women, except that one is Black and the other White. Case closed.
hhunaeh Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Same India-Different Story Two conflicting reports between two women, except that one is Black and the other White. Case closed. What are you trying to say? They didn't harass her because she was black?
Yoda-esque Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 What are you trying to say? They didn't harass her because she was black? Its possible and most likely probable
hhunaeh Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Its possible and most likely probable I rather believe that her friend is presenting just one side of the picture. These stories are too painful, especially when there is little you can do to change anything. And I don't like the way they continue to portray India in the west these days. It is exactly the way the african american lady has described. Their media targets us like muslim or african american men.
vvvslaxman Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 http://tribune.com.pk/story/598762/our-obsession-with-fair-skin/ Padosis
Bharat Nirmaan Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 TBH obsession exists, I am very fair by Indian standards, one can easily mistake me for Mediterranean boy. Sometimes I do get lotsa unwanted attention. Yes even fair skinned males get attention in India. Funniest thing I heard was "You don't need to take a bath daily your skin complexion is so fair/light'. Indians relate fair skin with cleanliness, it's weird but it's true. Great misconceptions in society. Darker girls are called 'Kaali Maata' (Black Goddess). TBH I prefer light fair skin girls, but I will never judge or ridicule darker girls and use derogatory remarks. Preference is not racism.
kubrickian Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Why just point out Indians ? Most people in the world prefer fair skin. East Asians also prefer fair skin or white skin. Even among Africans, there is preference for lighter skinned black people and people with Caucasian features (thin nose, thin lips) are considered more attractive. Its just a preference. But its not cool to discriminate against dark skinned people though or think they are inferior just because of their features or color of their skin.

I clearly felt it to be over the top. In fact it was not the only thing which I found to be a bit offensive on the show.
randomGuy Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Actually I happened to be sitting infront of TV when this thing came up. I clearly felt it to be over the top. In fact it was not the only thing which I found to be a bit offensive on the show. Displaying too much jatt-ness (by siddhu, mikka etc) and punjabiyat - quite lame and immature. Tells about flaws in their upbringing and mindset actually. I dont mind making fun of physical appearances (thin-ness, fatness, shortness, tallness etc) . Edit: I am sorry, I thought you were talking abt it all episodes not just yesterday's episode. I didnt watch yesterday's one in full(may have watched for 10 mins only I guess).
Prakat Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 You can't make it in Bombay with these flaws, and especially not in the TV, film and media industry. The problem is nobody thinks he is being ironic when he is interacting with big name stars. In Bombay, complimenting someone on their fairness means you are fecking with them and taking their trip. And Kapil was definitely paying her a backhanded compliment by going ott about her glowing. But his mistake is that he plays up his small-town image so much that it sounds sincere to his audience. Just imagine Russell Peters doing the same bit and you will get what I am saying.
