KAUAI, HAWAII, February 12, 2020 (HPI): Hinduism Today is seeking testimonials about the tendency in Indian communities to give preference to fair skin, and to attempt cosmetological lightening of natural dark skin. Our main writer will be Anushree Kumar, who is a neuroscientist and writer based in France. It was her HuffPost story that inspired this article. You can read her tale here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dark-skin-indian-american-woman_n_5dd6e51fe4b02648edb21d6e

If you have a story about dark skin/light skin, please write it up and send to our editor at sadasivanatha@hindu.org. You can, if you like, submit it anonymously, though openly makes it more compelling.
