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.

Citrāṅgadā

(Redirected from Citrangada)

By Swami Harshananda

Citrāṅgadā was the daughter of the king Citravāhana (also known as Malayadhvaja). She was one of the wives of Arjuna, the great Pāṇḍava hero of the Mahābhārata and they had a son named Babhruvāhana who was equally heroic.

Babhruvāhana challenged and defeated Arjuna (killing him) during the expedition following Yudishtira's Aśvamedha sacrifice after the Mahabharata war. Neither Arjuna or Babhruvāhana recognized each other as they had spent all of their lives apart. Citrāṅgadā however, revived Arjuna with the help of Ulupī[1].
