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.

By Swami Harshananda

Anurādhā literally means ‘causing welfare’; bestower of devotion or adoration.

Anurādhā is the 17th of the 27 nakṣatras or constellations of stars listed in astronomy. The stars comprising this nakṣatra are :

  1. Beta
  2. Delta
  3. Pi Scorpii

In astrology it is considered as beneficial. Persons born under this nakṣatras are said be good, compassionate, soft spoken and happy. The day on which the moon is associated with this nakṣatra is considered as auspicious for religious rites and good undertakings.
