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.

Pallavi

The feet that were washed by Brahma,
The feel which is itself Brahmam.

Charanam

1.That feet which has won back the earth,
The feet that was recognized by Maha Bali
Which hit the skies according to the beats,
And that feet which defeated many enemies.

2.That feet which washed of the sin of Manmatha,
Those feet which danced on the head of a snake,
Those feet which was caressed by Lakshmi,
Those feet which cannot be easily attained.

3.Your feet is that which in many different ways,
Gave boons to the great sages,
And your great feet is the feet of divinity,
Which showed Vengada giri is the last step of salvation.
