(Read the short verse given below)


When you were born you were pink


When you grew up you became white


When you are in the sun you are red


When you are sick you are yellow


When you are angry you are purple


When you are shocked you are grey


And you have the cheek to call me ‘coloured’.


Color prejudice in India.


There is no lawful color prejudice in India. Indian constitution guarantees equal rights to every citizen, irrespective of their color, religion or any other demographic distinction. Having said this, it is essential to note that the society is not free from prejudices. Preference of color and caste is still prevalent in the society. Laws have been made to protect the rights of every individual but the reluctance of the people to follow these laws instead of the pre-conceived societal notions has created an anomaly.


The law of the land doesn’t permit such discriminations and it is the fault of the societal mindset that the regional and color prejudice is still present in India.
