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.

The attractor of the world who likes prayers of Andal.

Sesha dhanur masa parama pada dwara
Vedantha deshika kavitha sara
Ramanuja sri Krishna dasa jana vanditha (Adishesha)

The one who was born as Sesha and one who lifted the earth,
Specially opens the door of heaven in the month of Dhanu*,
And he is the essence of the poems of Vedantha Desika,
And is saluted by Ramanuja, Krishnadasa and his people.
