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.

Path se Batak gaya

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander 

Path se batak gayaa thaa Ram,
Naadhaani se hua ye kam

Oh Rama I slipped from the proper way,
And this happened due to my ignorance. 

Chod gaye sab sanghi Sathi,
Sankat mein prabhu thum lo Dham

All Friends left being with me,
And Oh Lord in sorrow you are the resting place 

Thoo sabke dukh harne vaala,
Bigde samvaare sabke kaam

You are the one who destroys sorrow of all,
Broken homes is everybody’s work 

Thera har phal dhyaan dharoon mein,
Iysaa pilaa dhe prem kaa jam

Every moment I would be thinking about you,

And you please make me drink from the goblet of love
