I have read the article written by Mr Chetan Bhagat in connection with the colour of skin controversy in recent time. I like to add here that colour of human race does not depend upon his/her own wish. It is rather more depending upon climatic condition of a specific area of the globe. Melanin content which we get from the Sunlight through our dermis is mainly responsible for human complexion More we get melanin more our skin gets dark. So, obviously people living in hotter places and near the Ecuador get their skin more dark in places like Nigeria, Kenya etc. In Caucasian countries in northern hemisphere like Russia and other European countries people get less melanin, because they get less/dim Sunlight and thus their colour is White. Therefore, A person from Italy will be definitely fairer then a person from Nigeria.Indian population is also living near tropic of cancer and mostly they are getting more melanin through their skin and became brown.

The controversial remarks made by a Central minister in this context is undoubtedly proves his deficiency in knowledge, so also narrowness of his mindset. This the colour of our INCREDIBLE INDIA!!!

Meanwhile , I remember a quote made by an eminent author of Bengal in yesteryear Mr. Tarashankar Banerjee that says rightly " If black is so bad then why do you cry upon your hair becoming grey?"
