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.

Radha Krishna ji ki Aarthi

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Om jaya Sri Radha Om Jaya Sri Krishna,

Om Victory to Radha, Om victory to Krishna,
Salutations to Radha Krishna,

Ghoom gumaro sohe jaya Sri Radhaa,
Pat Peethambhar muni mani mohe Jay Sri Krishna,
Jugal prem ras jjam jjam jjamakai.

Because she roams and rolls, victory to Radha,
Dressed in yellow silk, Krishna steals the mind of sages, Victory to him,
With two of them loving each other they make the atmosphere bright,
Salutations to Radha Krishna,

Radha Radhaa Krishn kanhaiya jay sri Radha,
Bhav Bhav SAgar paar lagaiya, jay Sri Krishna,
Mangal moorith moksha karaiya,
Sri Radha Krishnaya nama

Radha, Radha, The Krishna, Victory to Radha,
Help me to cross the fearful ocean of birth, victory to Radha,
Salutations to Radha Krishna.
