Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children is now freely available.
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.

Sudarśanasuri

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Sudarśanasuri lived in A. D. 1200-1275. He was the son of Digvijayabhaṭṭa and the grandson of Vedavyāsabhaṭṭa who was the second son of Kureśa, the famous disciple of Rāmānuja.[1] He was the author of the now famous Srutaprakāśikā, a detailed gloss on the Śribhāsya of Rāmānuja. Vedānta Deśika[2] was his younger contemporary, who tactfully managed to save Sudarśanasuri’s book as also his two sons during the Muslim invasion of South India. The other works of Sudarśanasuri are:

  1. Śrutapradipikā
  2. Tātparyadipikā
  3. Saranāgatigadyabhāsya, a commentary on the Subālopaniṣad
  4. Sandhyāvandana-bhāsya
  5. Kṣamāsodaśī
