Delhi Girl’s Rant Poem On What Being A Dark-Skinned Girl In India Feels Like Is Too Damn Apt

In a country where beauty is equated with the colour of your skin and companies are constantly churning out products to make dusky Indian girls shades lighter, here comes a rant-video by a Delhi poet that speaks volumes why it all should just stop.

In her rant poem for Delhi Poetry Slam, Ridhima talks about how being a dark-skinned Indian girl she’s tired of facing discrimination in her own country. Not only that, she even talks about how the beauty fixes to lighten your skin should just stop and why light and dark forces should co-exist.

Damn right, ‘honey’!
