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.

Pratisedha

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Pratisedha literally means ‘prohibition’.

Pratisedha is the synonym of the word ‘niṣedha’ used in the Purvamīmāmsā works. In Sanskrit literature, the word is used to indicate a kind of alaṅkāra[1] wherein the sentence gives a meaning entirely different from its direct sense.
