In Fthe last decades ‘development’ gradually came to be seen as a holistic notion, encompassing economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions. Recently, the concept of global partnerships has gained prominence in sustainable development fora, most notably as a central element of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, which is at the heart of the global United Nations (UN) development agenda for the period 2016 – 2030. As we move closer to 2030, the stress is on collaborating and working together towards knowledge exchange, sharing of ideas and solutions, strengthening research at a global level. The global community finds itself at a critical juncture today. We all recognize

  • Adeni 1 the Empire Strikes Back Postcolonialism and Colorism In
    Adeni The Empire Strikes Back Postcolonialism and Colorism in Indian Women Samra Adeni Honors Thesis Program in Feminist Studies Stanford University May 2014 1 Adeni Stanford University Program in Feminist Studies Honors Program The Empire Strikes Back: Postcolonialism and Colorism in Indian Women Samra Adeni May 2014 An Honors Thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the Program in Feminist Studies Honors Program Approvals: FS Program Faculty Director: Christine Min Wotipka, Ph.D. Thesis Advisor: Jisha Menon, Ph.D. Date: May 15, 2014 2 Adeni Dedicated to my parents, who raised me with the truth – it’s what’s inside that matters. 3 Adeni Abstract: In this thesis I aim to consider a contemporary social phenomenon that I find particularly disturbing – the bias towards fair skin in India, especially concentrated among Indian women. This colorism is reflected in matrimonial advertisements, commercial advertising and media, especially the 500 million dollar skin lightening product industry, and Bollywood, the cinematic opium of the masses. I hypothesize that this cultural mindset arises from the history of the subcontinent, namely the numerous invasions and imperial conquests that have occurred, where an imbalance of power has been created along the lines of light skin and dark skin. This power dynamic leads to a difference in socioeconomic status that over time became correlated with India’s caste system, and remains deeply entrenched in Indian society, even after the legalized prohibition of caste-based discrimination. For this paper, I have examined matrimonial advertisements, commercial advertisements for fairness creams, and the role of color in determining beauty standards reflected in Hindi cinema.
