I have seen this happen many times when the local Indians get side lined and ignored in their own country and cities in preference to a foreigner. You go shopping at a tourist spot and a foreigner walks past the stall the salesmenwomen will royally ignore you and run after them. Is it only because they are economically stronger or is it a White fixation ? It is the same on airlines where the whites get better treatment than the rest of us...
Now a passenger flying to Melbourne has accused Air India of being discriminatory..

Yes they run after foreigner because they can cheat them easily. It is not possible to charge more than price from an Indian.

On the one hand they cheat them and when they get a chance they also rape them...How may foreign women have been raped here by our brutes, one loses count !

Because Business is business... They are going to get good business from them so they try to allure them.... they give them importance... :) :)

Happens only in our country and largely because of the mindset...It is also because they know that unlike Indians who bargain, they would not do so at least to that extent and will pay more for the same stuff...

The fascination for white skin dates back to mythological era. In many of the old classics of India you will find this "White" preference in the description of both male and female characters. You can see Lakshmi and many goddesses are being described as "Sweta varnam Deha Chaya" ( White colored skin). Its not all. Even male characters are described in a similar manner.
And what about "Fair and white skin" promises in the relentless Ad campaigns? This craze for white skin is there in the blood of Indians since time immemorial.

We have a fascination for fair skin. This is okay. But when this is linked with white race or Europeans, the real issue begins.

I agree. There is till a slavish attitude to whites. There could be other causes also.

I guess it is because most of the European countries are economically more powerful that we are, I wonder if there is any other reason for this...

That's the origin from where it branched in to several other mad fascinations.

There are many fairness products which are costlier and have been utilizing this weakness of white fixation in order for a complete innovative marketing. Some years back one soap fair glow advertised that one can be fairer within a month after use, it sold in rapid numbers and then after some months the reality is there, as it is a marketing gimmick and now the product vanished from the market.

This is true, the Indians get second preference to white skinned by Indians. In other countries people in the service sector do not discriminate at least do not make it obvious. I am sure with your wide traveling experiences you know it as much as I know. For Indians foreigners (especially white skinned) still rule over the world. They government sector services yet not possess business proficiency, that is why they are running in losses.
