Controversy

This edition of the pageant stirred a controversy over Twitter where the Miss India team was accused of selecting 'fair-skinned' women to run in the pageant. People also pointed towards the fact that the girls looked similar and that the diversity of the country was not visible. [9] [10] [11] [12] However, the pageant organizers rubbished all the claims.[ citation needed ] They also made a video regarding the same topic, stating that many of their past winners and contestant came from all corners of the country and had different ethnicity.[ citation needed ]
