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.

Nigrahasthāna

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Nigrahasthāna literally means a ground of defeat in a debate.

The two primary grounds of defeat in debate are:

  1. Misunderstanding or wrong understanding
  2. Want of understanding

If any party in a debate fails to understand or misunderstands his own or the other party’s statement and its implication, he is brought to the point at which he has to admit defeat. Shifting of the original proposition or the use of fallacious arguments can lead to defeat.
