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..

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...
The Europeans have ruled over the Asian and African countries for quite a long period and hence the symptoms of slavish attitude towards them still remain.
From the link. i could not say any thing about the discriminatory treatment of the NRI. Both the versions if the traveler and the AI officials are heaping allegations on each other. There is no way to find who's right.
But the "White fixation " is very much there in Indians.
I agree it may be a case of overblowing the situation from the side of the passenger...But we Indians do have a white fixation for sure ,it is very apparent !

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... :) :)
Disgusting but true! Indians do have a fixation on whites bordering on unhealthiness. What makes it far more irritating is the way most people put up an act of sophistication around those people when in reality they are not! Air India cannot be expected to perform any better because since it is a govt. owned enterprise, fair treatment to all customers is hardly mandatory for them! :blink:

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...

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.
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.

That's the origin from where it branched in to several other mad fascinations.
White fixation might be there, but in my town, it is completely negative, may be there is less stress of Odisha during British rules and they have failed to put anyh such impact as compare to Kolkatta, Chennai and Mumbai, secondly, shop keepers used to sell them and ignoring local visitors for two reasons, one is for getting high benefit for products, In airlines, which you have written about might be there, but first it is to be known that whether whites are going in economy of deluxe class as there are different treatment to these visitors.I agree. There is till a slavish attitude to whites. There could be other causes also.

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.The fascination for white skin dates back to mythological era.

This is fault of people if they believe in such gimmicks because every one knows that complexion of color cannot be changed with use of creams or soaps. There are rules and regulations in place against unethical practice of business advertisement. If anyone finds such misleading advertising, he can move consumer courts.

I agree ! This is something unique to Indian sub continent...Fair or white skin is somehow consideed superior with no apparent reason ..
I don’t see why I should disagree with you. There is a very popular place just about 8 kms from here- my place where are almost daily people who have come from the US. They are mainly the US residents who have heard a lot of this place. There had been a baba here and the place got famous due to that. But what I want to say is that here too many people run after them a lot than looking after local people.
