F.A.I.R

Hi I'm Sona, currently, I'm a manager in Cepta. I earn well.

I have two kids and my husband Mr Jay is an Entrepreneur.

Today while reading a newspaper headline titled

"A girl was killed by her relatives just coz of her fair colour"

It reminded me of my story, I was too once in such a situation. Where I didn't know where should I stand either with my self-esteem or with my sister's wishes.

We in India are deeply discriminated on the basis of caste colour religion and in this colour is the most important point for everything.

If you are fair in colour you will get a lot of relationship bees.

If you are fair in colour then you will get a good position in the job.

If you are fair in colour then you can get anything you desires.

Is being fair in colour a big difference in everyone's life.

I remember how my sister had to go under a hospital treatment just coz of this colour discrimination.

I was in my college when I had started facing a kind of jealous, hate, irritating nature of my sister. Me and my sister have a year gap of 1 year, she's so pretty and beautiful and one would fall for her seeing her but still, she always hated me.

Whenever our relatives visited us they too used to say who Nirmala, your one daughter is so fair and good looking while other has a brown colour, and then they used to laugh but I never gave importance to their stupid mentality but my sister took is personal.

But as time passed people started to attract towards me and my nature and she is so aggressive arrogant and abusive people used to maintain distance from her.

This made her so mad that even

To everything we wanted she started to show anger and jealous and then she used to step out on anger and throw things here and there just for the that

She was fair and I was a kind of brown-skinned yet people used to love and follow me engage party hang out with me rather than her.

She always had a sort of anger in that,

That what was so fascinating others in me that they were unable to see in her.

I still remember we were in our finale

When my in-laws had arrived to get an arranged marriage with any of us sisters.

We both sat down in front of them obviously my sister was more beautiful and pretty than me, they preferred to get her married to Jay.

Both the parents loved the decision and soon they decided to get them engaged.

It was the time of engagement when we came to know that she had ran from the house just coz she thought that Jay is not that much handsome as her beauty and she deserves some one better than him.

With a note left on the dressing table

"I'm sorry but I can't live my whole life with a person a bit unfair to me, just as he has money I can't spend my life with a black person

So I'm going away from here also no one loves me everyone loves that Sona only so better get her married to him

Don't try to contact or find me I'm happy where I'm"

The family turned depressed and angry also every relative had arrived and the in laws were also waiting for her to arrive but to whom should we bring..this was the big question we all were having.

Later on, mom decided to get me engaged to Mr.Jay and dad told the complete situation to the in law's.

Jay agreed to marry me and I also agreed as it was the question of family reputation.

After a month of engagement, our parents decided to get is married soo and the date was also finalized.

It was just a week before the marriage when my sister arrived home.

Crying in tears and falling down in guilt.

Papa got angry seeing her and told mumma to throw her out of the house but mumma some where managed papa's anger and told him to let her stay.

Everything was going fine.

One night before my marriage my sister arrived in my room and said Sona you always dreamt to be a manager or something like that in post right.

Yes sister, but why are you asking now?

Sona, I think you should go for your dream this marriage and all is just to distract you from your dream.

No sister, I think it's pretty fine if I'll have a good bonding with my hubby we can together get a good post in future.

But Sona, it's about your life why are you wasting it?

No sister, I'm not wasting it. I know I'll be happy with him and will pursue my dream too with his help only.

Sona, please note my words.

I'm fine sister don't worry.

Sona see I'm telling you clearly, this proposal was for me you cany marry him he was supposed to be my husband and not yours.

Dee, this was what I wanted to hear, of course, this proposal was for you but you had left that in between and ran from here.

It was me who saved this cap of both the families. So you cany show your right over this blessing and marriage is not a game it's a pure love, which you hadn't understood so leave me I have to go.

Sona, don't dare to go down otherwise I'll kill you.

She took a piece of glass and had had me a cut on the hand by the time mom had arrived she saw everything and locked her in the room.

I got married to Jay and she in grief depression and angry lose her mental power and got mentally disturbed.

Now shes in a mental asylum getting treated to her illness.

It's pretty true colour is nothing it's mere a colour we should see a person's heart first then his colour.

And in most Indian families we are always taught how to discriminate a person based on colour and religion.

I wonder if we had only differentiate me and my sister on the basis of our nature we wouldn't have to face this situation where I'm a manager and my sister is in asylum getting treatment.

We should appreciate the beauty of the heart, not the physical appearance.
