Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp

In this book, we analyze the psycho-social consequences faced by Indian American children after exposure to the school textbook discourse on Hinduism and ancient India. We demonstrate that there is an intimate connection—an almost exact correspondence—between James Mill’s colonial-racist discourse (Mill was the head of the British East India Company) and the current school textbook discourse. This racist discourse, camouflaged under the cover of political correctness, produces the same psychological impacts on Indian American children that racism typically causes: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a phenomenon akin to racelessness, where children dissociate from the traditions and culture of their ancestors.


This book is the result of four years of rigorous research and academic peer-review, reflecting our ongoing commitment at Hindupedia to challenge the representation of Hindu Dharma within academia.

Aisa hai mere Ram

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander 

Aisa hai mere ram,
Vinay bhara hridauy karen jise pranam,
Aisa hai mere Ram

My Rama is like that,
My Rama is like that 

Hriday kamal, nayan kamal,
Sumukh kamal, charan kamal,
Kamal ke kunj tej kunj chavi lalit lalaam,
Aisa hai mere ram

His heart is lotus, his eyes are lotus,
His face is lotus, His feet is lotus,
He is a garden of lotus, He is a lustrous image,
And he is easily attainable,

My Ram is like that.
