Yes. The caste system of the Hindu people originally placed the light skinned at the top and the dark at the bottom. British benefited from that, but then tried to end it for the good of the indian people.

Krishna literally translates to “The Dark-Skinned One”. One of our greatest guides was dark skinned, the present day colorism in India has not always been there

No mention of skin here
>The name "Krishna" originates from the Sanskrit word kṛṣṇa, which means "black", "dark" or "dark blue".[34] The waning moon is called Krishna Paksha, relating to the adjective meaning "darkening".[34]

If the brits culturally colonized them so hard why can't they use toilets and be polite yet?
