Rang ft. Dee MC | Official Music Video | Celebrating Women of Colour | Women's Day | Nykaa

"Itni saavli hai - shaadi kaisi hogi?" "She's so pretty, for a dark girl." "Dhoop me mat raho, kaali ho jaaogi." We've all experienced these statements in our lives - from our families, friends, colleagues. Because, despite half our population being darker skinned than the rest, the unhealthy fair skin obsession in India is real and damaging.

Watch rapper and hip-hop queen Deepa Unnikrishnan aka Dee MC smash brown skin prejudice in this beautiful video and deliver an empowering message for women everywhere: that the colour of your skin is meaningless - 'Rang anarth hai' - so make sure to love yours.

This Women's Day, Nykaa makes a pledge to embrace a more inclusive standard of beauty for women - across all skin tones, shapes and sizes. Join us as we celebrate beauty without bias and free ourselves from the shackles of society and live by our own rules. #ColourMeFree

What's your pledge for Women's Day?

Lyrics:
Rang ka khel safed aur kala
Manushya buddhi ko kshudra kar dala
Oopri upasthiti pe kayam jo duniya hai badalke usko daal uspe ujala

Vartmaan pe ateet ka saya
Chubti jo dil me uss baat ko chupaya
Savli yeh kaya lagti thi chhaya
Andhruni shakti ko kisne sataya?

Roop aur rang kuch aisa samaya
Choti umar se he mann me basaya
Tan ko mere kuch aisa dikhaya
Kaali hu me iska ehsaas dilaya

Karti bhi kya umar bass thi paanch
Rangeen thi duniya par me lagti daag
Zubaan se chalate woh aisa baan
Tez chirke nikalte jo karke vaar

Sameti mene yeh tukde hazaar dekho
Dabai yaado se dur kahi kho chuke jo
Jald hi garv ko ghayal kar paye
Rang anarth yeh kon ab samjhaye

If I could board a time machine
I would take it for a ride just put me in
Strapped in my seat countdown begins
I would rewrite the chapter about my skin

Pick me up I would dust off my shoulder
Tell me I’m proud cause I learned to be bolder
From afar it’s the scene you’ll see
A little Hindu kid trying hard to be free

Pradakshina lungi me toh bhagwan
Nanhe kadam lete tera he naam
Suna hai mene sach karte ho khwaab
Dilse me manu rang mera kharab

Rok lu khudko kehke yeh vyarth hai
Tu mann se nek toh rang anarth hai
Sab hai ek behta toh raqt hai
Himmat sambhal yeh tera hi waqt hai
