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.

Pallavi

Geetharthamu sangeethanandamu,
Needhavuna choodara , oh manasa

Anupallavi

Seethapathi charanabhjamu nidu konna,
Vtathma juniki bhaga thelusuraa,

Charanam
Harihara bhaskara kaaladhi karmamu,
Lanu madhamula marmamula neringina,
Harivara roopudu hara haya vinudhudu,
Vara Thyagaraja Varadhdu sukhiraa.

English translation

Pallavi

Oh mind ,see the meaning of Gita,
And the joy of music in Rama.

Anupallavi

This is well known to Lord Hanuman,
Who caught hold of the feet of consort of Sita

Charanam

He assumed a tiny form though,
He knew religions worshipping Shiva, Vishnu and Sun god,
And also knew the dharma with change of time,
He is the form of boon of Rama , he worships Lord Shiva also,
And would shower his blessings on Thyagaraja
