This is not necessarily true. The Hindu religion has existed for thousands of years, long before Imperialism. The upper caste societies were noted and valued for having lighter skin.
And for a variety of reasons:
Out door worker class of people have been darker since the dawn of man so its no wonder why its a universal notion. Everbody wants to be successful and to look like successful people.
There are other many other aspects of skin color that come into play now an thoughout history that are more common sense related:
Dark skin offers more sun protection.
Lighter skin makes a better foundation for tattoos.
Rich succsesfull people have been light or dark at times depending in if they spent their liesure time hiding from the sun or are on a boat in the Med.
Someone with very dark skin may be a better hunter at night and the opposite for the day.
When I lived in Miami...the strangest skin bleaching ad I ever saw was for "anus bleaching"...now that is strange and extreme....like...who cares? Obviously it is big business there.
Who do you think was getting this?
Gays?
Scatalogical porn stars?
He probably did. The Italians decided he was white with blue eyes, they wanted him to match their own image of beauty. Highly unlikely he looked anything like that that picture of Jesus we have all come to know.
I tend to agree with you. I find it amusing when people sometimes say they've had a mystical experience and saw Jesus. If they really did, how would they know it was he when the pictures are wrong?
And what about all the white mamas ranting and raving about these Brazilian wax kind of places where they bleach the portal to paradise and the apple of the booty's eye. Well, as long as it doesn't look scary the crocodile is a happy swamper.
That's what is the rage in India. It started with being paler on your skin arms, legs. That's not enough now. Girls want to be paler everywhere.
I think one marketing campaign slogan was "Protection, fairness, freshness".
I'd say putting bleach 'there' is a stupid thing to do.

And is it even logical for Jesus to be blond? I mean we all know the bible was written in Egypt, Isreal, Sryia etc. Are the people who live there blond with blue eyes? And why, if God is supposed to be for everyone, and represent all of us, would he only look like one narrow group of people.
I asked my dad this question when I was a kid. He agreed.

Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew, More than likely he looked like your average Palestinean does today; light to dark brown skin, brown/black hair and dark eyes. Considering you can find all the different racial variations in the Middle East then and now, there is a possibility that Jesus was Sub-Saharan Black or North European White. There always that chance!
I'm darkskin and in my society I am treated like crap and made to feel invisible, in comparison to lighter and mixed women
