Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

Śaṇḍa

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Saṇḍa and Amarka were the sons of Śukrācārya, the guru of the rākṣasas.[1] When he went away for tapas, Saṇḍa and Amarka acted as the priests of the demon-king Hiraṇyakaśipu. They were also the teachers of Prahlāda, Hiraṇyakaśipu’s son and a great devotee of Viṣṇu.[2][3]
