Butb there are certain "diplomatic" pay offs,reasons etc.Let me explain.
1.India may have relented in some hard "negotiations" with the USA.....may have bought 'unnecessary" defence items,going by her timidity viz-a-viz china which intrudes miles into eve Uttarkhand many times a year,but the UPA tries to hide it.
2.Appointments of the people the 'vested Gloalist Intersts'want,like Ragahuram Rajan as the RBI governor,thouhg he had had previous stints with the IMF.M M Singh is also a puppet of the Rothschilds who,reportedly, "own" the IMF.
3A secret Trade "Agreement" is,SECRETLY, being negotiated for last THREE years or so.Yes,the Trans-pacific partnership,which makes the Globalist oligarchs,above Sovereign Governments,with the citizens LIABLE TO finance the Globalist Oligarchs burdens!
There are many examples like many India Americans being winners,many sports events etc.Congratulations to them.But do not forget QUID PRO QUO!

India is to skin obsessed to really notice real beauty, so the answer would be a resounding no.

Because till now only white colored bosses existed in India. If there are considerable number of black skin colored bosses, it will change.

As a true Indian we should support her, as someone has made India proud in US. color of a person is not the only important thing. Kajol was also a dark color girl, but she is beauty. Even lord Krishna was a dark person but was very much adorable. Don't forget about the dark horses....

India and its origins are based on skin color
by michael joseph on Sep 19, 2013 05:44 AM | Hide replies

isnt it a known fact that the caste system is propogated thru color as its ulterior motive. not only today even 2 thousand years ago when caste system was brought into indus valley civilization they have given caste a black color. otherwise how would one in today's world diff between a dalit and other groups other than thru color??

It is a disputed theory which is gaining irrevalence now. AIT was created by the brits and europeans to justify their ruling of India .

If you look at the scriptures, you can see that both Rama and Krishna, the main heroes of the Ramayana and Mahabharatha, have been described to be black hued or dark-skinned.

It is a big misconception
by piri on Sep 18, 2013 11:11 PM | Hide replies

(or self delusion) among many Indians that the whites in general appreciate dark skin because they seek to get tans.

Tanned white skin is very very different from dark or black skin. What the whitest among white men and women seek is a little reduction of the paleness associated with very white skin, not dark skin by any means.

In fact, if the tan they get is overdone, then most whites begin to use many kinds of sun block creams (there is a very big industry and market for all kinds of sub block creams and sun tan lotions).

It is amusing to see many Indians seeking to argue that whites prefer dark skin because a section of them tan themselves. By so arguing, they only admit obliquely that they are very self-conscious about their skin colour and very very apologetic about it!

You have no idea. Europeans want to look brown (=healthy) but they have to take risk for their skin. They can get skin cancer from too much sun exposure which comes from their Albino heritage. So they try to balance with sun tanners and sun blockers. Only Indians get real beautiful brown colour, not your Albino freaks

You are free to go on deluding yourself.

Now, listen carefully.

There have been several surveys (there perhaps have been hundreds of them) among westerners (chiefly North American) about the attributes they would like to have on their 'ideal man/woman'. And the near unanimous choice of colour is white, not black or brown or yellow or any other.

In surveys that took opinions on raxces (albeit in a round about way to work round the strict anti raxcism laws), South Asians came last (even behind Afro Americans) in the opinion of whites !!!

Do check this fact on google and find out for yourself!

piri thats what the article about even today if you take such survey in India, you know the outcome.
Wanting skin color is based on success of that particular skin race. If there were black colored skin bosses. i bet all white want to be black
