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.

Dvaipāyana

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Dvaipāyana literally means ‘one who was born in a dvīpa or island’.

The sage Vyāsa, who collected and edited the Vedic hymns, was known as Kṛṣṇadvaipāyana. He was dark in color (Kṛṣṇa = dark) and was born on a dvīpa or island.
