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.

Dharmakāyā

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Dharmakaya)

By Jit Majumdar


  1. one whose body is the nature/ essence of Dharma; one with Dharma as his/her body or person
  2. the embodiment of righteousness/ morality; justice; the body of law/ justice; the body of Truth or Reality
  3. a central concept in Mahāyāna Buddhism, first expounded (probably) in the text Aşţasāhasrikā prajñapāramitā, which constitutes the unmanifested, inconceivable (acintya) aspect of a Buddha, out of which Buddhas and all other phenomena take birth, and return to after their dissolution, and which therefore is the most sublime, truest and most essential Reality and Singularity in existence. It forms the Trikāya or the “threefold reality” along with nirmānakāyā (the “created body” that manifests in time and space) and sambhogakāyā (the blissful body of mutual enjoyment).
