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.

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Sachi Anjunkar


Amna Akbar is affiliated with the Department of Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies and Asian American Studies at Ohio State[1]

She has published no books, papers, or research pertaining to Hindus, the Indus Civilization, or caste.

In 2016, she signed a letter endorsing a letter submitted by the South Asia Faculty Group[2][3] where it addressed the State Board of Education, California Department of Education, dated May 17, 2016. In this letter they requested removing the word India from textbooks. In addition, they falsely[4] stated:

  1. "There is no established connection between Hinduism and the Indus Civilization."
  2. "It is inappropriate to remove mention of the connection of caste to Hinduism."
