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.

English translation

Pallavi

Parvathi without a leaf , to whom one surrender,
And one who heals and takes away their pain

Anupallavi

One who is merciful , one who holds the Trishula,
A matchless beauty and consort of Shankara

Charanam

One who accompanies the God with skull , one who is full of divinity,
One to whom great kings were devotees,
One who does good and is saintly and daughter of Daksha.
