The one first-gen in the US Indian couple I know, the man is light skinned and the woman is darker skinned. So the man has been disowned by his family over this Caste thing. I don't know that the underlying nature is racist, but it kinda looks that way to me.
- _thisdot 3y agoIt’s weird. India has a problem of casteism, colourism and classism. What you’re describing is probably a mix of casteism + colourism. There is no strict correlation between skin colour and caste. The current Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fair skinned and from a lower caste while a cricketer like Hardik Pandya who is darker skinned is from an upper caste.
