oh yeah..."Fair and Lovely"... that's the #1 skin cream in india. coming from india, it's embarrasing to see that...
and guess what? that's not how most indian people look. they don't have brown hair, they don't have lighter color eyes. and most aren't even fair complexioned.
what an irony, then, that the very next clip after the one you linked to is this song from the movie Swadesh, which is a movie about an Indian-American NASA scientist who doesn't care to go back to India but when he does go back after many years, he is taken aback by everything, and ends up deciding to serve the needs of his motherland.
the song music is by A.R. Rehman, I believe, and he is also the singer. The same guy who won the Oscar for music in Slumdog Millionaire.
Check out that clip if you like Indian/Bollywood music....it is awesome, and the pictures in the clips are about the beauty of India, the essence of India.
The first time I listened to this song, in the movie, it brought tears to my eyes.
