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.

Paśu

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Paśu literally means ‘animal’.

The ignorant jīva or soul who is bound to the cycle of transmigration is called ‘paśu’.
