| Introduction | This is our blog set up for the Vinod Dixit Project that we're working on this summer. The theme, as you might have guessed, is body image. Body image is basically how an individual perceives his/her body. Today, because of the pressures of society and the media, many individuals, mostly the youth, feel the pressure to conform to very distorted and unhealthy ideals of beauty. Apart from weight, another aspect of body image, is colour. Since time immemorial, Indians have had a fascination with fair skin. It seems to be coming to no stop. With large, world renowned brands coming up with more fairness products, the consumers are being exploited because of their absurd dislike of dark skin. And, this prejudice of ours doesn't seem to be dying down. Huge film stars advertise these creams, and their sales constantly increasing. In the blog, we aim to discuss these issues with the community. We are attempting to bring about consciousness on this issue, and perhaps even reform the views of some. |
