Solution:  
BEAUTIFUL MIND, BETTER THAN A FAIR COMPLEXION
By Natwar/Nimmi
Beauty is not in the face but is a light in the heart. There is much difference between looking beautiful and feeling beautiful. Fair complexion is about visual and superficial beauty Complexion preference varies from person to person. for instance people in the west like to get tanned voluntarily. The term 'beauty' refers to the inner beauty. Inner beauty is based on personality traits such as attitude and behaviour.
But, demand for brides in matrimonial columns and sale of fairness creams make it clear that to have a fair complexion is an obsession in our society. There is a clear discrimination being carried out across our country and society. It is shocking that such trend is not only ruling our mind but is being shamelessly marketed across our TV screens as well.
Our real progress will occur when we get rid of such racist mindset within the general masses of our society.
