Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
In this book, we examine the impact on Indian American children from school textbook narratives about Hinduism and ancient India, highlighting their alignment with colonial-racist discourse. This discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from their cultural heritage. The book represents four years of rigorous research and academic peer review, underscoring Hindupedia's dedication to challenging the portrayal of Hindu Dharma in academia.

Talk:Dismantling Global Hindutva

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

The Dismantling Global Hinduva Conference was a virtual conference that took place September 10-12, 2021. It had 9 sessions over these 3 days[1]:

  1. What Is Global Hindutva
  2. The Political Economy of Hindutva
  3. Caste and Hindutva
  4. Gender and Sexual Politics of Hindutva
  5. Contours of the Nation
  6. Hindutva, Science, and Healthcare
  7. Hindutva Propaganda and the Digital Ecosystem
  8. Hinduism and Hindutva
  9. Islamophobia, White Supremacy, and Hindutva

It was officially described by the organizers on their website as:

This conference brings together scholars of South Asia specializing in gender, economics, political science, caste, religion, healthcare, and media in order to try to understand the complex and multi-faceted phenomenon of Hindutva.


This conference will convene panels on a variety of interlinked topics that address the threat and power of Hindutva. Scholars, journalists, and activists will examine the historical development of Hindutva, the fascist dimensions of the ideology, its alignment with other supremacist movements and define all that is at stake across a range of political, socio-cultural, and economic issues. We also aim for the conference to be a space for examining the history of dissent and resistance against Hindutva. Dalit and Feminist traditions have long resisted the singular narrative of Hinduism adopted by Hindu Supremacists. A broader coalition of activists from progressive communities have mobilized to enable both material and ideological divestment from Hindutva. Drawing inspiration from such collectivities, we expect to develop resources for anti-Hindutva pedagogy and organizing in educational and cultural institutions everywhere.

Yet, the same organizers explicitly discussed the need to dismantle Hinduism within the conference

Dismantling Global Hindutva Conference was about dismantling Hinduism

Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani described the conference as

This conference represents a disgusting attack on Hindus across the United States, and we must all condemn this as nothing more than racism and bigotry against Hindus. I will always stand strong against Hinduphobia.” [2]
