The Colour of God – A different Take On Janmashtami
This deeply personal story challenges India’s colourism by highlighting the contradiction of worshipping dark-skinned Krishna and Jagannath while judging dark-skinned children. Through her daughter Megha’s experiences, the author reflects on inherited prejudice, motherhood, and self-acceptance, ultimately celebrating the beauty, confidence, and divinity of embracing one’s natural complexion.
