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.

Laghu Viṣṇusmrti

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Laghu Viṣṇusmrti is a late work of the dharmaśāstra literature. It has five chapters and 114 verses. It deals mainly with:

  1. Four varṇas
  2. Four āśramas

Though Aparārka (12th century A. D.) has quoted a few verses from a Laghu Visnusmrti in his commentary on the Yājñavalkyasmrti, those verses are not found in the printed texts which are available now.
