Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp

In this book, we analyze the psycho-social consequences faced by Indian American children after exposure to the school textbook discourse on Hinduism and ancient India. We demonstrate that there is an intimate connection—an almost exact correspondence—between James Mill’s colonial-racist discourse (Mill was the head of the British East India Company) and the current school textbook discourse. This racist discourse, camouflaged under the cover of political correctness, produces the same psychological impacts on Indian American children that racism typically causes: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a phenomenon akin to racelessness, where children dissociate from the traditions and culture of their ancestors.


This book is the result of four years of rigorous research and academic peer-review, reflecting our ongoing commitment at Hindupedia to challenge the representation of Hindu Dharma within academia.

English translation

Pallavi

What is the use of having such eyes,
Which are not becoming happy,
On seeing the Lord sleeping on Adhisesha,
Which is beyond our mind ,after great thought ,
What is the use of having such eyes.

Charanam

1.What is the use of the body that does not,
Embrace Krishna who is like a blue cloud,
With great affection, what is the use of that body.

2.What is the use of hands that does not offer,
Flowers like Lotus, Jasmine, Thulasi, parijatham,
To the God, What is the use of that hands.

3.What is the use of that toungue that does not sing,
About that Rama who saved this Thyagraja,
What is the use of that toungue or the chain of beads.
