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.

The one who has dressed up divinely,
The one who holds Kodanda firmly

Oh God who is the moon to the holy dynasty of Raghu,
Oh God whose feet is worshipped by devotees,
Oh God who drives away to far off

Oh God who killed Ogress Thadaga,
Oh God who made Ahalya pure
Oh God with lotus like eyes.
