"This inherent racism further fuels the notion that lightness of skin color is often associated with improved living conditions and a higher standard of living. This notion typically affects Indian women more profoundly than it affects men; this notion is backed by gender rights in India, which are not particularly progressive and they frequently hinder the upward mobility of individuals in professional settings and impose restrictions on their social lives based on their gender. This is an example of two cleavages which fuel one another (see Intersectionality) within the nation's borders. Men with darker skin tones are often able to, in a societally-accepted manner, marry women with lighter skin tones. However, darker skinned women do not possess the same privileges as darker skinned men.[28] This is largely an effect of the patriarchal institutions that still riddle India to this day"
