“Even if you are at the peak of bureaucracy that has a client order that is followed, there is a question of who speaks the most, who will break and who will hear. If you are not at the top of such a hierarchy, then it is extremely difficult,” Indian Express said.
How did it start?
In the Facebook post, Muraleedharan also shared how she grew up and felt as if she had less because of her dark skin. Only later, with the help of her children, did she realize that Black was “beautiful”.
When she talked to the TV channel on March 26, she said the company had to change its attitudes and overcome these distortion. According to her, this change must start at home and in schools. She said the comparison with her husband was “unexpected” and Venu, her husband, encouraged to re -stand his post on Facebook.

“It’s the one who gave me the courage,” she said.
She also felt that the comparison not only referred to her dark skin, but carried a “value connotation” that the current administration was “black”. “That’s why I thought we had to” call it “,” she said.
Muleedharan’s solution to this problem is to “turn on the head” and say – “Yes, I’m black. Black is seven times beautiful.” She also referred to the support she gained from her children and how they helped change, as she saw.
“It’s a great experience when your children give you the courage to express themselves. Many people told me. I am glad our younger generation has such people,” she said.
