00:00I was going back to my home and suddenly 2-3 boys were going and they said that the country
00:19was being colonized.
00:20That's when we came across the face of British people.
00:22What could be worse than this?
00:24Ghosts or such things.
00:29It's basically when you have a white or pale skin with a white hair or a blonde hair.
00:36There is a lack of pigmentation in your body, in your hair, in your eyes, in your skin that
00:42is considered as your albinism.
00:49I used to wear the round hats so that my face and backside would be visible.
00:54I used to wear full sleeves always.

01:24They named me Angrez, Fawner and Surajmukhi.
01:41I used to have to stand in front of the blackboard and see what the teacher had written on it.

02:52Because she is different, she is albinism.
03:02Because she is different, she is albinism.
03:22A person like me, who is albinism, will know the problems of others.
03:29But a person who is living a normal life, will not know the problems of others.
03:32But if you are looking at a different person, don't treat them in a different way.
03:55If you can't give a compliment, then don't even comment.
