How colourism and communal socialisation are badly affecting children in Nepal

The society we live in is psychologically fragmented in terms of communal identity, race, colour, ethnicity and religion. It is establishing the predominant sense of in-groups and out-groups since a biological infant starts turning into a social being. Highlighting the same phenomenon, I had conducted a study on socialisation and discrimination among school children for my master’s degree a few years ago.

The conclusion of my study was the psychological division among children into in-groups and out-groups is the result of their socialisation at different hierarchy which eventually converts into communal stereotypes and discrimination.
