Title | : | Representation of fair-skin beauty and the female consumer |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Banhi Jha |
Abstract: Concepts related to complexion particularly fairness often used interchangeably with pale skin, are associated with class-based hierarchies attributed to cultural commodification. The desire for fair skin in India is spurred by transnational influences wherein the significance of whiteness is formed by Western standards as well as traditional paradigms of beauty. The charm of models with varied Asian skin tones is increasingly replaced by the overarching popularity of Caucasian and fair-skinned models in the print media and television advertisements. The diversity of brown skins being visually dominant, Indian advertisements reflect the general aspiration for the appropriation of fair skin associated with Caucasians...........

The study on imperialism reveals that the United States of America, the most outstanding international power in almost every domain,..........
