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.

Rāma

Rāma literally means ‘one who gives delight to the yogis’.

In the epics and the purāṇas, three Rāmas are dealt with:

  1. Rāma, the son of Daśaratha also known as Śrīrāma
  2. Rāma of the battle-axe, called as Paraśurāma
  3. Rāma or Balarāma
