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.

Ślokavārttika

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Kumārila Bhaṭṭa[1] was the senior contemporary of Śaṅkara.[2] He was a great scholar of Mīmānsā Darśana and struggled throughout his life to fight Buddhism and re-establish Vedic religion. He wrote an independent exposition on the Sābarabhāsya[3] in three parts. The Ślokavārttika is the first and deals with the philosophical portion of Śabara’s work as contained in the first chapter of the first book known as the Tarkapāda.
