Its a plague in the subcontinent culture to scramble to look as much light-skinned as possible and the notion that being light-skin = good looking/beatiful and being dark skinned or 'Bengali/Indian' as ugly.

Its no wonder we have so many people in the subcontinent so insecure about their looks and skin colour when this stereotype is flaunted around and reinforced in society. Its also ironic we have BDeshis that are proud to look like 'Pakistanis' due to fairer skin tone but get all defensive and offended when those same people look down on us

Bottom line; we sell ourselves too short.
