Light skin is the old ways. It stems from the time when the Aryans invaded the Indian continent. The conquered peoples, the Dravidians, had darker skin and became the lower castes and so those with lighter skin were in higher castes. So obviously everyone wants lighter skin to appear like they should be in a higher caste.bousozoku said:Sure, but people who move here and are disconnected from changing trends tend to favour the old ways.
