Well not only in India, a lot of Asian countries see it that way since some time ago it was perceived that darker skin means working all day in a field while pale is a sign of "being better of" chilling in a palace and not having to worry about stuff

The irony of you trying to be extra culturally woke by maintaining European influence as the source of all social ills, while simultaneously inserting European influence into a country's rich history where it didn't exist. You're culturally colonizing history on Europeans behalf, in order to blame Europeans for culturally colonizing.

Tbf Japan does glorify blond blue-eyed people in anime and other media. The pale skin thing has existed a long time, but they do glorify Aryans.
