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.

  3. the third of the four cyclical epochs, ot yugas, that repeat each other in succession, and the duration of which is considered to be 2400 divine years, which is 864,000 earthly years, and is characterized by an equal balance of vice and virtue, and having an average human lifespan of 200 years as against predominance of virtue in the preceding Tretā yuga or the lack of any vice during the Satya Yuga. It is towards the closing end of this (the last occuring) epoch that the events narrated in the Mahābhārata epic is traditionally considered to have taken place.
