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.

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Anandāśrama Mudranālaya This is one of the few pioneering institutions that has been dedicated to preserving and publishing old books and manuscripts dealing with Hindu scriptures and Indological subjects. It was started at Pune in A. D. 1888 by M. C. Apte who dedicated all his wealth for the new institution. It is actively engaged in collecting and preserving old manuscripts and books and publishing them. The building of the institution has a shrine dedicated to Siva where religious programmes are conducted. Apart from a guest-house there is also a hostel for boy-students. So far, 188 books have been printed and 8000 Sanskrit manuscripts have been collected. The process of digitalising them to preserve them in CD’s is going on.
