Viral image of beautiful Indian women hits out at obsession with fair skin

India may be on the road to progress but there are still several aspects of the society that seem to hold us back, among these the obsession with colour when it comes to society’s definition of beauty has been a point of discussion for the past several years.

While celebrities have been called out for endorsing fairness creams which link beauty and success to skin colour, there is still a long way to go. A picture going viral online seems to hit out at this bias towards fair skin, as three beautiful women can be seen at their best, as a caption reads “The Faces of India they won’t show you”.

The image which has been shared by thousands calls out Indian society’s obsession with fair skin, and has got a positive response on the social media.
