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 examine the impact on Indian American children from school textbook narratives about Hinduism and ancient India, highlighting their alignment with colonial-racist discourse. This discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from their cultural heritage. The book represents four years of rigorous research and academic peer review, underscoring Hindupedia's dedication to challenging the portrayal of Hindu Dharma in academia.

Caturdhāma

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caturdhama)

By Swami Harshananda

Caturdhāma literally means ‘the four abodes of God’.

The four places of pilgrimage in the four corners of the country are:

  1. Badarīnātha in the North,
  2. Rāmeśvara in the South
  3. Jagannātha Puri in the East
  4. Dvārakā in the West

These are the four dhāmas or abodes of God which every person aspires to visit during his life time.
