Why isn't there an Indian Disney Princess?

American Indian, Pocahontas. You could argue that Jasmine is an Indian as well, even though she's persian there was quite a bit of persian conquest and culture that influenced northern India.

The girl they used to play Jasmine in the live action Aladin was Indian.

That’s not how the „perfect“ Disney world usually works. The princess has to be white as porcelain, maybe her maid or other underlings can have a brown skin tone. 🤔

"'perfect' Disney world"? Isn't that how the real world is? Art imitates life.

You should have written "Some art imitates some aspects of life". Which is especially true for a conservative company like Disney, with a stick up their collective butts.

bec not all countries get a princess

theyre not ticking off places as they go

[DizzyDesii]

I mean Pocahontas is technically “American Indian” and i think Jasmine is gonna come as close to India as disney will allow

Indian Spiderman is there. Has been introduced by Sony. I would like to see their other Indian characters too.

Well she's not a princess per se, but there is that girl that Mowgli meets up with in the end of The Jungle Book.

[Babygirl_S]

They should have an Indian princess.

[OddBeMe]

I thought there was an eskimo and pocahontas…

Oh actual india? isn't Aladdin?

[Babygirl_S]

She is Arab.

[OddBeMe]

Well pakistan used to be part of india. So is there a real racial diff?

[OddBeMe]

But yes. there's mostly just white princesses.

[NamerOfStars]

Tiger Lilly and Pocahontas don't count?

[Babygirl_S]

No they're not from India.

[exitseven]

didn;'t they make one about Pochahontas?

[Iron_Man]

I thought they had one

[JohnK123]

Where’s the Ukrainian princess? Hmm?

[EaterPeter]

They are working on it.
