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.

Sāmānya

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sāmānya literally means ‘that which is the same,’ ‘generality’.

This is one of the seven padārthas or categories recognized by the Vaiśeṣika-darśana. In the Alaṅkāraśāstra,[1] sāmānya refers to such an element which exists both in the basic object and the object with which it is compared, without any distinction.
