An appreciative western term for a
woman of south asian descent with a distinctive
skin tone. While sometimes interchanged with nubian, ebony or mulatta, delimitation from these ought to be enouraged due to the marked difference of their skin.
Similar in concept to a mulatta but with a more darkly orange lustre / tint, strictly dark eyes and black
hair, wavy or straight rarely, if ever curly.
Note: latina ought not to be classed as dusky because latinas are strictly south american.
Examples include: Pratyusha Pilla,
Sharon Muthu, Melinda Shankar, Asha Saini.
