Editor's Note: WardheerNews encourages and shares with readers articles written by young people. Halima Ahmed is student at Montgomery College in Rockville Maryland. Halima has lived in India where she has spent most of her teen years. This article does not only point to the dilemma faced by Indians on the issue of skin color but touches on the issue of race. She is insightful and wise beyond her years. It also reflects on the subcontinent at a time when Slumdogmillianore has swept all kinds of awards and America seems to romantically obsess about slums in India; Halima brings to our attention the reality on the ground.
