ramesh powar and vinod kambli are maharashtrians.. The other marathis in the team are sachin,agarkar,gvaskar,sandeep patil and vengsarkar..
The south indians in the ind team are rahul dravid, anil kumble,ravi shastri,vvs laxman,saddagopan ramesh, robin uttapa, sreesanth,dinesh karthik,murali karthik balaji srinath.. Of these balaji and srinath are black skinned .. but do they look like africans to you??
what consitutes a south indian for a pakistani? for some pakistanis anyone who isn’t punjabi is a south indian and that includes bihar,maharashtra,goa, gujrat and even bengal.. In india south india is the four southern states kerala, tmail nadu,andhra pradesh and karnataka.. of these i have visited all. and tamil nadu has more of dark skinned people i guess mainly bcause of it’s location..
What is a dravidian?aborgines austrliod african etc.. sorry south indian are’nt like that.. dark skinned people are found all over india in large substantial populations and not just south india. any indian/pakistani attributing dark skin to only a south indian is deluding herself/himself.
In india people on street mainly the poor are exremely dark skinned once you get to middle class,upper middle class and elite u get light skinned and other varying hues of brown.
Curly hair!! how many south indians have you met to make a statrement like that?
Short!! have u seen sri lankan team!! do they look short!!! they are tall and have a good body structure sometimes better than indian and pakistani.
Average indian/pakistani have brown(light to dark and very dark and then black) skin color.
Regarding fair and lovely fair skin obession is as deep in pakistan as in india. i know plently of pakistani women who bleach and sometime they are light skinned yet and they bleach to get a ghastly white color.. I once went to a wedding where the bride who was sawli color originally was painted in white make up.!!
Even in this forum there was a topic where a girl was asking for a cream stillmans something as she was going to pakistan and everybody there is about fair skin.
Don’t always point fingers to india!!
Racism is a vicious man made cycle. North indians/pakistnais will look down on south indians while they themselves are looked down by arabs/persians and so on and so forth. sad!!
just an example i met a pakistani man on flight he was a pathan!! i thought he looked north indian. wasn’t that fair skinned .. he told me he was pakistani and i asked him if he was punjabi .. he was offended. he told me that pak punjabis and indians look similar.. if u go to a afghan forum they tlak about punjabis as the blackest people on earth!!! SAD!!!
