Maybe we we need a 'pro brown' movement like African-Americans had a while ago to instill some damn confidence in brown people about themselves? First target should be stupid bhangra songs going on about 'gora gora rang'. Damn salay!

Its a fact that we indians are crazy about fair skin.just look at Katrina Kaif and kareena kapoor,From what angle they look like Indian.Forget about North India even south Indians love fair skins .majority of their heroines don't look like south Indian Girls ,either they are from North India or from High caste fair skinned Girls.Almost every Indian male fantacise a fair skin girl.

We need a whole movement to reverse the brain shaft that our 'Asian' culture achieves that embeds the idea that white is better. African Americans seemed to have twigged onto the subtle mechanisms involved in this process. I remember the first thing they did was manufacture black dolls for black children.
People need to talk about this more for a start.

Comparision with black people is not O.K..In India we have so much diversity in same family you find one sister fair skinned while the other Dark.Fair skin Girl receive compliments from Childhood while Dark skinned just receive advices that how if she put this or that her color could improve.This was not the case with Blacks as they all are of same color

I can forgive you for thinking that as probably haven't lived outside of India much, if at all.
But just so you know, the variation of colour in black families can be as diverse as the Indian you mention, if not more. In fact most West Indian 'blacks' are infact a mixture of white, African and Indian blood. Even in Africa you have serious variation in tone between tribes and families.
One thing you have to give to the African-Americans is that they have turned things so that their black identity is something they are generally proud of and celebrate. Heck, even people who are more lighter skinned than the fairest Indian are proud to call themselves 'black' in the states. I'm not saying this community doesn't have its own problems, but this area is one they seemed to have nailed a lot better than 'brown' people?

I know their is variation but still that variation is not as large as you found in India.I see plenty of cricket and know very well that kenyans are blacks as tawa ,while south africans and zimbawebeans are slightly less blacks and west Indians are least blacks.But on the other hand in India the difference in India is too large.Recently Rajnikant's Film Robot realeased and I read comments on North Indian sites that film should be named Black robot.If you know about famous kapoor family of bollywood ,please tell mehow could they call themselve as browns as Ranbir Kapoor ,Kareena kapoor totally look like a white

You said that fairest of blacks proud to call themselve black even if they are not black.May I ask you are you talking about men or women?
The second thing I want to mention is that blacks fought for their rights with whites.May be this the reason that some of fair skinned Blacks love to call themself as blacks
As far as Indians are concerened They can never have such type of movement because almost all indian men deep inside love fair skin.One cannot say that I am proud to be brown ,but when his mother shows him Photo's of Girls then he goes and pick fairest of them and tell her mom that this is One to whom I want to get married.
