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.

Subhadrā

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Subhadrā was the daughter of Vasudeva and Devakī, and the younger sister of Kṛṣṇa. Arjuna, the Pāṇḍava hero and Subhadrā were in love with each other. Since Balarāma, the elder brother of Kṛṣṇa was against their marriage, Kṛṣṇa worked out a stratagem by which they eloped. Later on they were married.

Abhimanyu was her son. He was an extraordinarily brave warrior and was ruthlessly killed by the Kauravas by unethical means, in the Kurukṣetra war. After the war, she went to Dvārakā to live with her brothers. She is one of the three deities worshiped in the Jagannāth temple at Purī.[1]
