Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children is now freely available.
Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp

In this book, we analyze the psycho-social consequences faced by Indian American children after exposure to the school textbook discourse on Hinduism and ancient India. We demonstrate that there is an intimate connection—an almost exact correspondence—between James Mill’s colonial-racist discourse (Mill was the head of the British East India Company) and the current school textbook discourse. This racist discourse, camouflaged under the cover of political correctness, produces the same psychological impacts on Indian American children that racism typically causes: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a phenomenon akin to racelessness, where children dissociate from the traditions and culture of their ancestors.


This book is the result of four years of rigorous research and academic peer-review, reflecting our ongoing commitment at Hindupedia to challenge the representation of Hindu Dharma within academia.

English translation

Pallavi

I do know any one else other than Abhayambika,
For making one filled with ignorance know the higher knowledge.

Anupallavi

She with gait of an elephant belongs to the world of God,
She controls the Sun as well as mixture of sound and rhythm.

Charanam

She who shines with the name of Bala,
She who shines as the arts in Thathwas,
She who shines as the twelve fold basic chakra,
She who shines as the gross to the subtle,
She with her own power is the basic nature of three worlds,
She who is the four stages of going there, Nearness, getting that form and salvation,
She who is the malini mantra among thanthras,
She who is Shoolini and is experienced by Guru Guha.
