Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
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.

Subhecchā

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Subhecchā literally means sincere desire.

This is the sincere desire that arises in the mind of a seeker, as a result of the study of the śāstras[1] and company of the holy person to know his real nature.
