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.

Karma Marga

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Karma Marga is the path of action. In Karma Yoga, a person is expected to avoid nisiddha karma (sinful actions), perform nitya karma (obligatory daily actions) without selfish motives. Essentially, it is giving freely for someone else’s benefit, whether it be giving your time to perform volunteer work or giving money to advantage someone.

No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come.

—Bhagavad Gita 3.40
