            Racism: Its Impact on Indian History

One of the previous blogs covered on basic understanding of the core concept of racism this time in this blog, we are heading to discuss one of the countries most affected by racism: India.

The people living in India most of the population know how the caste system functions/works this is one of the most visible forms of racism in Indian history. but for people that don't know. 

              

                        Let me explain in short,

The caste system is a hierarchical social structure that splits people into groups accThe public to their birth. Public started glorifying their group as higher or more important than other groups which ultimately led to internal war/fighting among themselves about whose caste was superior.

The upper castes are considered pure and superior, while the lower castes are considered unclean and inferior. It has been used by certain upper-class people for hundreds of years to justify exploiting and oppressing millions of low-class people. 

But the most striking and devastating racist act that remains discussed is colourism. 

Another form of racism that has become very annoyingly common in India is colourism. Colourism is intolerance against persons according to the colour of their skin. In India, lighter skin is generally thought of as more gorgeous and desirable than dark skin. This has led to a priority for reasonable skin in every field, from spouses to job seekers. 

 

This stupid concept was used by the British administration for several years just to convince people this was a real

The British colonial government had a significant role in the spread of racism in India. The British believed they were racially superior to the Indians and justified their dominance in India based on this belief. They enforced many discriminatory Indian policies, including segregation in crowded spaces, restrictions on education and employment, and violence against those who resisted British rule.

The aftermath of racism in India continues to exist today. Indians of all backgrounds still suffer from discrimination and prejudice. This discrimination can take place in many ways, including employment, housing, education, and health care. It can also result in abuse and harassment.

The anti-racism struggle in India continues.

But Significant progress has been made in recent years, by our  Indian government including new lawmaking of laws that prohibit discrimination on the grounds of caste and race or any other kind of discrimination. Nonetheless much remains to be done to build a truly just and equal civilization for all Indians, where every skin color is respected and given equal opportunities.
