It's actually got nothing to do with race. It is a question of class. In India the paler you are generally the higher class you are. I beleve it comes from their caste system where the higher ups are generally paler because over generations they weren't the ones working the fields.
It was the same as western culture until a few years ago when it became desirable to be thin and tanned. In the past that was considered "swarthy".
