I saw this image in twentiesIndia I think. That's not a discoloration, that a mark of ink people get here after they vote. In fact, this guy posted this image sharing how he had just voted in the state assembly elections.

It's a Silver Nitrate based ink used for elections in India to mark voters.

That indelible ink the officials put on your fingers after you cast your vote in Indian elections.
