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.
