    yes a lot of emphasis is placed on the complexion of the skin. this is due to the fact that the caste system which is still present in India discriminates against people who are of a darker skin.darker skin individuals are considered to be the original inhabitants of the indian subcontinent, the lighter skinned people are actually conquerers from europe and central asia who settled here thousands of years ago and established the caste system to distinguish themselves from the darker skinned natives.having a lighter skin gives a person a rank and status among the common people.it is very disturbing to see the way people in lower caste are treated
