AnswEr :-
One might think that our constitution ensures complete freedom irrespective of colour, class, religion, etc. but if anyone discriminates against anyone on the basis of colour, that person generally does not get into trouble legally. We can find discrimination on the basis of colour everywhere in the world and so in our country too. Though, there is a significant number of people of both fair as well as dark complexion, yet in sectors such as film-making, colour prejudice exists till date. Preference of colour and caste is prevalent in the Indian society. Laws have been made to protect our rights but the reluctance of the people to follow these laws instead of the pre-conceived societal notions has created an anomaly. It is the fault of the societal mindset that the regional and colour prejudice is still present in the underdeveloped Indian society.
