I lived in India for some time, traveled all over.  There may be color differences but one thing, education breaks color/caste barriers. What you are saying is bull-shit, absolute nonsense.  In marriage there is still a preference for caste and creed among some, but that is losing steam in the cities.

The most educated class of people i India are from the (darker) South and they dominate a lot of Corporate top brass positions.  Indians respect people who work hard and have accomplishments, regardless of color.

None of this is like what I saw in Jordan/Syria.  They just don't like dark color regardless of education or accomplishments!  What you are talking is bull-shyte!  You may refer to a few backward villages, but this is not modern India!

I do not know where you lived in India; to date I have been there 11 times and spent an average 3 to 4 weeks each time I have visited. My work takes me to towns and villages all across the country and I have personally seen people being chased away from specific roads and sections of towns and villages; all because of either caste or social standing. You are perfectly free to call it bullshit or whatever you wish; that is entirely you prerogative.  

I lived in Mumbai and traveled all over and to many rural villages.  On the side, I got myself involved in the Rotary and went into many local and tribal villages.   People are shewed away from road sides, etc as a lot come to pan-handle.  This has nothing to do with caste, color or creed.

I have been closely involved with Corporate India and with village live through the Rotary.  I believe you are misrepresenting the reality to defend against the fact that there is overt racism within Muslim societies.  And yes, there are issues in Indian society given the 5,000 years old caste system, but how exactly does this mitigate the fact that overt racism is prevalent within Islamic societies?

1) Do you understand the meaning of the word 'mitigate' ?

2) The issue was discrimination; what has 'Islamic societies' got to do with     what I wrote ? 

Yes, I refer to mitigate as something in your head.  You were the one who dragged in issues of India when racism was exposed in Islamic societies.

The issue was discrimination based on race, color and it is prevalent in many Muslim/Islamic societies.  Many fair Muslims do look on darker people with disdain.  In India you get an education and perform, you are recognized and rewarded, regardless of the color of your skin, hair or eyes!  That was my experience and observation living there!
