Acharya Prashant explains that historically in India, a woman's dazzling and fiery beauty was not highly praised. Even today, in rural areas less influenced by Western culture, a girl who adorns herself excessively is not liked or encouraged by her family, as it is not considered a sign of good character or modesty. This perspective is not merely cultural but stems from a deeper understanding: what is gained by making the body shine so much? It only leads to becoming more body-centric and body-identified. He clarifies that this does not mean Indians were not naturally beautiful; India has been blessed with natural beauty. The emphasis, however, was on simplicity and naturalness, not on artificial or imposed beauty. The simpler a person was, the more praise and value they received. Similarly, regarding wealth, India was a leading economy for centuries, so there was no lack of money. Yet, the display of wealth was never considered a good thing, as if the land itself knew all wealth would turn to dust. Value was given to qualities, knowledge, depth, and intellect, not to showing off money. This value system changed over a long period. India's culture and understanding were superior, but it faced defeat in wars for hundreds of years. While India resisted and won many battles, repeated defeats led to self-doubt. The final, complete defeat at the hands of the British broke the back of India's self-confidence, replacing it with self-doubt and an inferiority complex. Indians began to believe that the victors were superior not just militarily, but also culturally. Consequently, Indians started adopting the culture of the victors, moving away from their own culture, language, and religion. The education system of the last century furthered this by making people indifferent to their own heritage and suggesting that everything superior and beautiful exists abroad. As a result, today's youth disrespects anything connected to India's history, associating "Indianness" with being backward and defeated. They believe that to progress, they must abandon their Indian identity. The more "un-Indian" one is, the more "smart" they are considered. This explains the attraction to fair skin and colored hair—it's a desire to be like the English, who defeated them.
