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.

Nāstika Darśanas

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Indian philosophical systems known as Darśanas have been broadly grouped under two categories:

  1. The āstika - All those systems which accept the authority of the Vedas are called ‘āstika’.
  2. The nāsitka - All those systems those do not accept the authority of the Vedas are branded as ‘nāstika’. The Cārvāka, the Jaina and the Bauddha systems are classified under it.
