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.

Hey Gaj vadana, Gauri nandanaa,
Rakshaa karo sab ki

Hey elephant faced one., hey son of Gauri,
Look after every one

Mangalmaya ho jeevan saraa,
Dharaa bahe Sukh ki

Let all my life become auspicious,
And let the stream of pleasure flow.

Ridhi Sidhi ke dathaa,
Thum Ho vidhyaa ki swami

Oh giver of prosperity and power,
You are the God of knowledge

Vigna vinas yek danth ho,
Thum antharyami

You are the God with one tusk removing obstacles,
And you are the one who lives in everybody

Chinthamani ka kare jo chinthan,
Chinthaa haro uski

For the one who thinks about the gem of thought,
Let there be no worry for him.

Viswa Vidathaa Viswa vinayak,
Jag j ke palan hare

Oh creator of the world, Oh leader of the world,
Please look after this world

Nada brahm ke thum nirmathaa,
Sur gan thum par vaare

You are the creator of the God like notes,
And all the devas are depending on you

THum hi prerana, thum hi chethana,
Aas hai darsan ki

You are the incentive, you are the spirit,
I desire that I could see you.
