- How is it like being a Black person in India!
Black students share their personal experiences in India ,explaining their daily life and the challenges they go through in order to adjust.
These students are studying in India, most of them traveled from Africa to Asia.

Yo guys in Inda being called black or the slangs we use is not connected to race it's not really even a bad thing (well mostly), for analogy take our god Krishna he was blackish skin colour and we called him shyam which means evening or the colour of evening, you see it's completely different culture, most people here don't even know what racism is.
No one wants to buy a black krishna statue.
Try to sell..u will understand why hindus only want white krishna
Great answer!
We just don't know what is racism, we don't follow it. India is colourful country. All kind of peoples live here and all are welcome.
If you go to the north you will find pale,
If you go to the south you will find black, there are brown, pink, yellow. So many different peoples.
In my family my cousin is black, I'm brown, my other cousin is pale.
Nature make beautiful things and we are also one of her beautiful creations.
Words are not hurtful, the intention behind the words are hurtful.
Again good and bad live together.
Somebody say me kaliya. What does that mean?
@@lotusman992
There's a famous movie character his name is kaliya,
Kaliya also means blacky.
we often make jokes like that, He must be pulling your leg.
First of all peoples shouldn't joke like that with foreigners, for us colour means just a colour but for outsiders it can be serious issue and some stupid peoples don't understand that.
I'm sorry if you are offended by them.
Even In India We Comment on Each other About Skin Colour ... It's not Racism
ohh💯
@@shyemusa it kind of is. You don't realize it, but it's a post colonial hangover we have that we like fair skin better than dark skin
yes it's not just racism, it's just belittling them for having more melanin in their body, not racism but a lot of insecurity imparted into a child from the very young age
wow then what's the true definition of racism please explain ?
@@kaliaparijat chup b kaalu
Honestly I feel like it depends upon the city you live in. As a Malian an proud African I’ve traveled a lot (and I mean a bunch) I’ve never faced such difficulties here in Bengalore. I live in Bengalore, I’m an extrovert so get along with pple pretty easily. I even went on lot of dates 😂. Well I also have that American accent that might be one of the many factors. But overall it’s not too bad , I was even taken on date by girl and I ain’t have to pay nun 😂.
Hey don't take our women man😂
true 💯
Take away all gold digggers
@@soham9496 😂😂
bro beleive me it's not because of your accent. atleast in india
Even our LORD SHREE KRISHNA was a black skin man and we called them SHYAM ❤. Colour of people should not be justified by their skin but it should be justified by their point of view.
Great response!
@@shyemusa yes bro 🤗💗. A man with black skin is far better than A man with black heart. Here in India we say " kale hai to kya hua dilwale hai 🙂".i hope if people Read bhagwat Geeta once then they will understand this world better
Best mythological character of our Hinduism 👌❤️
@@azadkiteesridiwani Krishna is not mythological, he really existed....
@@azadkiteesridiwani Krishna is not mythological character but historical character. Do refer for example, Mr. Nilesh Oak 's works for scientific evidence.
She has rightly mentioned that it is curiosity instead of racism.. because they have not seen someone like them or with the way they carry themselves
To all my fellow Indians, maybe when we call ourselves gora or kala we understand that we mean no offence, but it surely does to a Black person who comes from abroad. So the next time, let's hold our comments on skin colour when interacting with foreigners and understand that they might know our ways. Let's welcome them as much as we can and feel them at home.
Hard disagree. We shouldn't change - we say kala and gora because it doesn't mean that much to us, the color of the skin. Not in the way it does the rest of the world. We keep our ways, and people who visit can gain some benefit from learning our ways.
@@quiet7632 You must be kidding right? Are you saying calling each other by the skin colour is a trait we Indians should teach others? Have you lost your mind?
@@reach2prasanna not just colour.. our height, hair type etc are our attributes. Why shying away from talking about it? And make it look like a taboo...?? Shh... talking about it is really bad!!
Whyyy?? Just be open.. don't disciminate that's all..
It's going to be hard, but I would agree- it's better to be hospitable. My grandmother was even "racist" towards my black dog if classical Indian behavior is racism, since she made so many comments about his black fur (although she also cared for the dog a lot). Most Indians don't mean to be racist, but they just talk snidely about things so casually and come off as mean, despite not always meaning to be so- we're just not the most sensitive group of people, but maybe it's time to start making a better impression.
@@nutzlos19 because the jokes are not funny to everybody
Indian people stare at you not cause you're black people they look at you cause they're curious to see your fashion sense
That's true ....our parents would have criticised us for that ...
@@universeislove5837 ☠☠☠ good job
end these delusionals
That's because they think people with Fashion are weird.
Honestly, we stare at everyone who looks a bit different, it could be for someone's colour, for fashion sense or even hair. Our people are way too curious, there are reasons for it and we can't blame them but also should not deny the fact that it makes the people being stared at uncomfortable.
It's True we look you , stare you whatever you say but not in a bad way , we admire you , your personality, your dressing sense, your way of talking. You ll hardly see any Racism in INDIA. being BLACK is cool 😎 in INDIA 🇮🇳🖤
Bro... What are you saying? Being black is not good for Indians ourselves. That's why we have such rampant beauty products, fairness creams ads. I know it's not exactly racism. But being black is not cool in India in any sense.
B true to yourself.... "Racism is deep rooted in India" don't just b ignorant, instead try to address the issue. "Staring culture" is also very prevalent & it's kinda annoying sometimes. Some people b doing "aankhon se balatkar".... I know this bcoz i 1st hand had experienced such things due to my east Asian features.
Edit: I also do agree that there are huge no. of people who aren't racist & I am hopeful, one day it will change for better.
the confidence i need to lie in front of my parents. damn
as an indian I am not ashamed to say people here dislike dark skin tone. even pretty ladies like zendaya and beyonce would be considered mid here cuz of their skintone but a random white girl would be pretty
stop faking on internet for some damn likes
"You ll hardly see any Racism in INDIA. being BLACK is cool 😎 in INDIA 🇮🇳🖤"- this is a white blunt lie
@@reeds131 No thats not true, Indians are not racist... they wont descriminate you over your colour or race. there can be rare instances tho.
Nice💯
Hey guys. I just want you to know that in India we have had little to no previous contact with people from Africa. This makes people here quite curious when they see you. India is surely racist in its own ways, but it definitely isn't like the racism you find in most of the white dominated countries.
There is also this problem that not many people from your continent ever came here to settle themselves, or for education purposes or make a career here, so we surely lack the sensitization towards people of African origin. We don't know much of your history and the atrocities that have been caused by white colonists on the people of Africa, so we don't generally understand how bad a joke can be to someone whose history has been so traumatized. But trust me brothers, our jokes are never meant to scratch those historical wounds. The slangs like Kallu, Kaliya, etc, are the same slangs we often use with our own friends who happen to be of darker skin colour. Some people might think I am trying to defend casual racism, but that's the problem you see, most people here don't understand political correctness when it comes to friendships specially in the sense of racism. We are trying to educate ourself, we are a developing countries where other problems also exist, so it is taking time to create sensitivity in people so that they understand these kind of necessary filters. I am sorry for your bad experiences, but we will make sure that the future of India is more sensitive towards you. Afterall we are brothers as we have shared history of suffering and slavery under the white colonialism. All the very best for your studies, I hope when you leave this place, you have better memories of India. ♥️
Thank you for this amazing response! Appreciate you sharing 💯
Bro forget about foreigners, we northeasters are struggling sometimes 😂🤣. But it’s a part of life. India is a great country. We respect foreigners and every culture 😅
Bruh 😂
Feeling said for u bro 😂😂but love to northeast
south, north, east ,north east,west, every part of india are racist.😏
NEs are not the only sufferers. So are biharis, and odiyas. It all depends on how smart you are.
Tum log bhi mixup hone ki koshish nhi krte ho. Mere north east ke classmates kabhi hum logo se bat n karte the. Agar kisi aur try bhi Kiya to usko turn down kr dete the
I am from Chandigarh and when I was a kid, we had black students as our house tenants. They were studying in the University. They were friendly but I used to feel scared around them because I was a kid. When my aunt was studying in the University, she had a black friend and her name was Anna, she used to do braids I remember and when she used to come to our home to meet my aunt, sometimes she would make me sit on her lap and talk to me :) Good old days.
Those are nice memories
I am an Indian living in India. My work has meant I have lived in many different cities in India. The moment the locals sense you are an outsider they stare... Dude, I am an Indian in India and they stare. No, I don't look different (see my profile pic) but just because people feel you are an outsider, they stare.... That's what we Indians do, we stare.... A lot... So don't let it bother you.
They're not staring at you because you look different. They are curious because you are not one of them. Smile and say "Hello" and then surf the wave of questions that follow.
We Indians are a curious lot and I have had many times explaining things to strangers.... Even a lot of personal stuff.
Remember the antidote to "strangeness" is familiarity. The more the staring people get to know you, the more friends you shall have. And we Indians are great, life long friends.
So next time you see a stare think here's a person who's going to be friends with me!
Yeah like I feel u, the staring is a big issue, it's like an intimidation 24x7 that the people keep giving u, very hard to continuously ignore somebody staring at u too.
We indians gives Nick names according to looks and colour which many of you will find racist but I assure you when you spend a little more time with the people around you gonna do same and you will find it more like a interaction than racism...even our family teases us calling black if we are and even some of our gods are black skin too...but yeah new people may misunderstood it who aren't exposed to such environment
i don't know why they so much concern about girls, you came for education purpose mean just concentrate in studies, be discipline don't get in trouble at foreign countries
True
Indians who go to white countries also try to date white women. We are notorious for that and have a bad rep abroad.
the second guy who was calling others those names, he was himself, just the male version.
Your vibe is awesome men ,love the way you speak with the people so nicely ..
Thank you
Enlightening❗
Interesting video. I did not even know there were Africans studying in India. My roots are Indian, but I was born and raised near Amsterdam. So I have always been around many diffierent cultures, including African and Caribbean Black people. Where was this video filmed brother? Keep it up man, very interesting video.
Reminds me of my childhood in Hyderabad when I had this fair skinned Gujarati friend. Whenever he'd visit my house to play cricket the boys in my street would shout "britisher" behind his back just coz he's of a different skin tone. We Indians are so diverse and almost all of us are a minority in atleast one aspect say skin color, religion, language, region or caste. So we are used to being identified by that minority identity for example although I'm a brown skinned Hindu I'm also a migrant in my city and come from a micro minority caste in this region. So I'm kinda used to people identifying me with those tags and stereotyping.
you are all loved and kind person , love the vibe you always caring with yourself . love love love and love
so awesome!
Bro don't fall for them ...I have 3 cases how they doing drugs business here...I am working in FedEx so I have all the proofs if you want videos I will send you and then give opinion.
@@gauttmg6090 but you can't stereotype all of them
@@Mayfan44 If you find 3cases in a year what will you say.
@@gauttmg6090 you still shouldn't stereotype all of them
as an indian ur channel is impressive and keep it up
The girl in orange shirt said it right ' People are very sensitive here.' We are emotional people.
Lol what do you mean by that? I’ve never been so I don’t have an idea of if
Guys if you are coming to India for beautiful girls it will be challenging for you as wooing indian girl is too hard, we as a Indian too facing this problem quite often, so if you want to woo a girl you have to be very smart haha😁 and another thing guys when some people make fun of your skin color they are just kidding, many of my friends are black and we often call them with a stereotyping name to make fun of it but in reality is ok for friends , friends often make fun of each other in front but not in the back.
great
Why is it hard to woo indian girls
I'm so sorry if you ever felt offended. But India is totally different. I am not at all dark like people say how could I be so fair. But my dad call me kali (black) . It's really normal. We say that to our loved ones. I call my sister kali and even my best friend . We don't feel offended, its like a calling sweetheart in indian way😂. And fun fact is we Indians worship maa kali ( Indian goddess) and even shyam was blackish. We worship them we literally don't feel offended being called black it's preety normal ( even if u are fair) . So according to India black is a word originated from the Indian language of love😉❣️. Anyways we love the way u are. We don't just hook up, most of us believe in finding life partner. People hooking up are rare , Accord to me. Keep loving and visiting mother india . U are our guest basically God to us (athithi devo bhava☺️🙏🏻) .
This explanation was helpful
In India we have people of different skin colors throughout the country. My own cousin is a little on the dark side, and when we talk about her skin color, she doesn't get offended at all. She understands that there's no ill intention behind our words.
I think acknowledging that a person is different is not racism. It's just making an observation, but misbehaving with them on that basis is a no no.🤔
This kind of discourse is nice. Yeah i know most people will be very critical. Because of subtle rasicm and all. but discussions are nice. Great job
Literally i am brown and people in my family itself mock me as black 😞🤷🏽♂️
Many a times curiosity can be taken as racism. People in India are chill bro?
There is different kinds of people. Kind and some are rude however
Agreed
This video proves the stereotype of hook up culture, no wonder why single mother cases are so high in black community
😅
Hookup culture is very dominant in India. Our culture is backward, western culture is cool. That's why.
Hook up culture is big in America as compared to Africa. These people are Africans not African American
Honest video about India ❤
I saw other BLACK ppl videos TOO ..
1) Wr don't say black like racism .. it's more like fun and we expect the same from other ppl u can make fun of us too that way we become frnds fast.. I call my best frnd black ..
2) we don't see too many black ppl in india that's y seeing one is more like curiosity.
3) getting house is difficult becoz black ppl get media attention when they are caught in drugs and all ..so they have bad image in that sense.
4) and yeah indians don't think about personal space ..becoz most of us live in joint families ..
5) about girls being hoes that was new fir me .. I never heard any that .. intresting.
I find African people really cool I saw them in mall sometime, and want to know them ,I find it difficult to talk ,they might think it's weird. But Really think they are cool ,specially girl their hairstyle and dress ..
Don’t hesitate, they are great people
3:44 Hommie said girls and new places just tryna enjoy the moment😂
Thanks for watching 💯
Well, if someone comment on your Skin colour or Body No one actually mind that as it is only happen between close friends or family members it also a cute way to show your love or how you care about them in India we give them nicknames based on it it's fun too however as i grow up i knew that it means Racist to other i was shocked that they actually mind that 😅
I think we all are same humans skin is just because they belong from terrains where temperature is different and if you see the people of South India are completely black 🖤
There is no racism in India but if you see here people taking about you your colour this because they saw your skin tone for the first time and same case for white people also.
I have so many friends with black skin tone ,not a problem bro just stay happy and spread happiness 😊
Btw which campus did you shoot this video
Awesome💯
If I came across them on the street, I would stare too. Those braids look amazing 👏 How could I not stare??
We respect you bro! No matter what colour or creed you are. We respect you. Wasudhaiva kutumbakam!
they sell drugs here bruh, bring in gang culture. We cannot respect them.
Rufaro your voice is awesome 😇
Take care yourself..stay healthy 😊
Beautiful😍✨❤

Its true Too much attention is annoying
I am going to agree on that 👍
We should see them as a normal peoples not as some kind of unique person 👍
To all black friends who are in India and are planning to visit India, just so you know, we Indians comment on each other's skin colour all the time, but we mean no malice. The western type of racism is not practiced and is unknown here. A dark-skinned south Indian person gets called "kala" (black) and a fair-skinned north Indian gets called "gora" (white) frequently and neither of that is taken as an offence. So I urge my black friends to not think there's racism involved when Indians comment on your skin colour. This actually means the exact opposite, that the person considers you a friend and is comfortable enough to make a comment.
"she said sensitive, veryyyy sensitive" 😂😂
Our Almighty God... Krishana, shiva, vishnu all are black.... It's color of our God❤❤❤🙏
In the West, it is considered rude to stare at people - particularly strangers but in India this is not the case! So if people stare at you - particular if you stand as a foreigner, one shouldn't take it as racism but it is more a case of curiosity!
Its uncomfortable though the way Indians stare at people.
We Indians are mixed of all different skin colours from white to brown, blank and all, it's common in India, you will hardly see any racism, we grew up with all types of different skin colours, and I think every skin colour is cool, one should not judge someone by its skin colour, so yeah!
We love Africans,Here in Kolkata Mohunbagan clubs best striker was Chidhi Edeh and Baichung Bhutia.His partnership with Indian captain Baichung Bhutia was remarkable.
Racism is itself a western concept.. In school we had dark skin, fare skin and also brown skin students.. everyone used to call each other names and it was fun for us .. the concept of racism never existed then .. but as we grew up started hearing about the term and it's implications mainly from social media the westernisation is real !! We never possessed such ideas .. In India people of every colour is there in schools too this body shaming, racism were just non existent then
Please, just because you don't face it doesn't means that it doesn't exist. These are serious issues because people from all over the world are discriminated based on how they look.
@@passiondump175 I’m pretty sure they’ve seen in and experienced it firsthand. Just sounds like they might be in denial really.
@@vvvvvvvvvvvv70 true
@suman Mondal This isn't serious right? 😂😂
maybe it's not particularly "racism", but as you said from the school when kids are young it's imparted in them that fair skin is superior to actual indian dusky skin. and most of the children have at one point wanted to just have fair skin at one point in their life, but now F all of them, we care only for money and family, F everything else
Which university do you study??
Great work hope to collaborate with u on UA-cam,Namibia 🇳🇦❤❤❤
There are africans near my place they live in the college campus. I never talked to them but they looked pretty like normal people 😅.
Great!
Sounds like the issue is not necessarily the locals but the foreigners who want and expect attention and either they are in the mood for it or not. Any conflict is natural but can't blame it on race.
1:50 is there some GPS for this where can I find these things the gentleman mentioned
Most of the time we are just curious to be honest like when you see something unique you just want to look at it out of curiosity not in racist way .
About 40000 to 80000 African black Siddhi live in India from around 700 CE. Siddhi were followed by black African that came with Portuguese and British. I read 55000 Nigerians have recently come to India. Almost every Indian city has blacks. Can be due to rise of the Indian economy that may rank globally 3rd largest from 5th at present
Thanks for sharing !
Are you guys in south or north india recording this
Even between us locals, there's casual racism exists. No one teaches us to call someone with their skin colour is wrong from childhood , coz noone really takes it that seriously. But yeah I want to know where you shoot this video?
I want that first guy to tell me which place he's in where girls are only wanting to hookup and not want relationships 😅😅asking for a friend 😁
He calls up his mom
Looks are very much valued everywhere,
It is just natural for us humans. If you are not fair and attractive, then Your chances of getting a job are also relatively less. Good looks make life better.
One thing everyone can do to improve the looks is to hit the Gym
Its either you're attractive or not there is no fair and attractive. By your logic 100% of the light skinned dpopulation should have been models but its not like that.
Indian culture is ancient if you want respect it has to be earned. Also knowledge is our main goal and we don't like distractions.
Thanks for sharing
Indians in India and America have always been sweet to me. They have never commented on my skin color, I think because I’m lighter than them. The only racist Indians I’ve ever met were from Trinidad Tobago but most were older.
Good to hear 💯
Consider yourself lucky then. Many Indians that live in African are racist towards the Africans in their own country and its not a laughing matter. I myself have experienced constant racism from them and even on social media they never have any energy responding to white racists that are offensive to them but seem to have it in abundance for black people and muslims even when we are not involved in any spat with them. Weird behaviour.
Brother In India even of now No one knows racism Most specially in rural.....And we here often use name kaale....Not specially for african in india we have many skin colour people and we are blessed We describe people In short with color.... I'm Fair And and My Younger Blood Brother is black ,My younger son is black ,We do often use kaale To brother Kaala is word for krishna who was black and he is God And avatar of Vishnu ,in Fun and he do use Pig Or any kind of name for me but it's Just Mischievous love ❤ Frankly speaking Love and accept the Colour we are blessed with We Are Born human .
Ohh💯
Which school is this? Im african i might go to india to study
Chandigarh University
Looking at black not means racism bro......... only curiosity, hair style, clothing style, and as you know we don't have so open society which can avoid seeing bouncing things.... all these are natural as a human.
true💯
In south we worship karupu swamy which literally translates to black god and we even name people as black guy or just black,my grandfather name is sandhana karupu which literally means sandalwood black..being black or calling black is not racial in most part of India
Funny thing is sometimes we Indians also keep our children’s name "Kalu" i.e. Black....
nice
Ok in my openion if peoples stare you they are really curious about your they want to know where you come from and tourist or student. If you are a tourist we like it we proud on it because we think peoples from others country like our nation ❤❤ and if you are a student we also proud on it because its great our education system being stronger so other countries children come to gain knowledge 😊😊 that's it ❤
No matter what is your skin colour
If u are foreigner u are a celebrity for us😊😊
Hey guys ... Welcome to Kerala!!.
Thanks
majority of time talking about color is not considered racism in india like we call our friend black(kalu) he is the most fair skinned dude among us. it's just to tease and joke around.
6:50 she understands it very well. It's obvious.
Sometime when you're getting looked at its not becuz they think ur monster. They're just looking becuz u look different.. In india people stare at other people a lot its not considered rude so not always is it comming from a bad place maybe they like hownur hair is or ur dressing sense.. But its not common here to smile at strangers or compliment them so the staring may come off rude
Do u guys know that indians have their own african people in gujrat? From british colonising period
Really? Great
Donot misunderstand being called black as racism. If they say all black people are so and so.....then you should call them racist.
good answer💯
India is a big country, and like every other place, we have good or bad people. It is common here to stare at foreigners, especially black people, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are racist. They are simply curious, and the younger generation is more open-minded.
Yes I love my India proud to be Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
Which university is this?
Bro where did u find girls who looks for hoke up 😆
2:00 to 2:05, dude i completely agree with your point about indian girls

I have a lot of black friends in Europe from various parts of Africa - from Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco etc. I have experienced racism multiple times away from home so I can only understand how you guys might feel if you come across such a thing here. A significant amount of population are still illiterate in India or backwards minded, so apologies for that on their behalf. The country and the people's mind are still developing. Indians look down upon other Indians who are dark so the obsession with light skin is real. I would like to say, ignore such people, fulfill your dreams, reach heights and never give up! Besides that, India is a beautiful country and there are a lot of kind hearted people as well. All the best!
Black Africans using African American slang is wild.
Welcome to India🇮🇳
which university?
As an African visiting India also found it strange at first and somehow got used to it at the end of my trip which lasted for 2 months. I think it is lack of knowledge and ignorance to the other level. Yes they stare too much when they see different person where it makes you feel so unconformable but what I did was just smile say hi and stare back to brake the awkwardness ☺and they will start giggling as soon as you leave the room or the elevator 🤦and i find it funny sometimes and some are respectful and nice. but i am thankful i went with an Indian family friend at that time. Otherwise it would have been so taught on language barrier (most don't feel comfortable speaking English or they don't speak at all )and colorism (Most of their beauty products are all about how fair it could make you look 👀 that tells you how they even try hard to have white complexation to feel somehow superior even among their own society and look down upon whoever has a darker color than them 🤦♀).
Interesting, from a scale of 1-10 how would you judge the social friendliness here in India?
@@shyemusa I will say 6👍
You guys are fair skinned to many people in India
Seriously I Don't know Meaning of ' To Find Some h#*s " .... Can Anybody tell ?
Even i didn't understand what he is trying to say...
To find some girls to hook up with
to temporary mating
@@andrewalltheway lol is he calling indian girls ho*s?
I think it s chandigarh University campus
Yes
Honestly speaking yes we do stare at African people bcoz they look so much different than us but same case with the white people. Even they complain that Indians stare at us wherever we go. And the reason again is same. Even though we're the most diverse country in the world but still seeing a black or a white person on the street is something different for us. So we stare out of curiosity.
We Indians are part "Black" my brother. One of the first groups out of Africa went to India and kept their African like features. They are called the Andamans. Indians have those genes. Then many other people with light skin and straight hair mutations migrated in and the two mixed. This is the story of humanity and India.
This is really interesting, thanks for sharing 👍
Nicknames based on physical appearance is a common thing I was called fatty cos obviously and years later the buddies who called me that are now fatter than me but the nicknames still under my patent 😂😂😂 so it's not meant in an offensive way
In india if someone calls u black then please don,t take it seriously . It,s part of our culture and its not a bad thing .
India is a diverse cultural nation.
As an African studying in India, just take a look at things from the bright side, enjoy your stay and explore the diverse cultures while pursuing your degree.
Do not mind the nonsense minority.
7:12 we also have dark complexion ppl in South india and paper white in north kashmere , so when we notice and talk or laugh about it it's not racist. Many of our gods have dark complexion. ❤we make fun of our god for being dark, its admiration we have for dark. ❤
I know lot's of students mostly talented go abroad to study, african ppl have just arrived here mostly last decade, it will definitely take time to assimilate, but we south asian ppl are most welcoming of all asian and all over world that i can say 4 sure.
Hope you enjoy your time here. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your response 💯
When I see a white or a balck person I stare them down from head to toe and then realise what I’m doing and get flustered. Foreigners aren’t very common here, atleast in most of the small cities and since most of the folks don’t go outside the country, some gets really curious, including me hehe
racism doesnt means that somebody is making fun of your colour, here is india lots of south indians and some of north indians are more darker than these students. we also used words like kaloo or kaluta for our darker skins friend but we never think that we are superior then them and they dont deserve the things which i deserve
🙏
I remember in school this kid in my asked why are Indians racists towards African Americans when we are pretty much the same skin colour that has stuck with me ever since.
They come in different shades just like we do.
The fairer one's do it....

Urge all people who visit India or any country for that matter to enquire about things and learn about some cultural things first..........In India talking about colour is not always attributed to racism it's very common part of our conversation we have Indians darker than Africans and fairer than Europeans . So please chill out !!!
Blacks came to India with Arabs in 700 CE and with Portugese and British later. Siddi black community of India is well known. I read some 50000 Nigerian have entered India in recent years ?? Some Nigerian entered India using Bangladesh.
