We all know that whether we like it or not, India as a country is divided on the lines of colour, religion, caste and gender. With the advent of globalization and the concentration of money in the hands of a few, we are now divided on the lines of wealth as well. But the two things that stand out the most are discrimination by colour and social standing. Over the years, we’ve come to accept that people with fair skin and loads of money are better than others.

We are racist towards people from our own country! A guy from Mumbai hates a guy from Bihar for no reason. North Indians discriminate against people from the North East.

When people from South India visit North Indian states, they are teased with words like “Mallu” and “Kaalu.” And are we any better when it comes to treating foreigners with dignity? We spare no time in swearing at Africans. We call them “Hapshees.”
