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:Phillip Lenberg

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Sachi Anjunkar


Phillip Lenberg served as a Music director at French American International School until (2014-2018), San Francisco, and as a teacher at Lowell High School, San Francisco (2013-2014)[1] as of June 2024.

In 2016, he fraudulently associated himself to be 'K­12 public school educator and teacher educator' and signed a letter addressed to the Instructional Quality Commission, California Department of Education supporting the South Asian Histories for All and the Sikh Coalition [2] as :

  • In this Letter he misinterpret academic research, ignoring scholarship."The letter opposes the use of terms like "Sindh-Saraswati" for the Indus Valley Civilization, arguing for historically accurate terms: "According to scholarly consensus the Indus Valley Civilization predates Hindu Vedic culture"[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
  • Gaslit anyone with a different point of view by calling them 'Hindu Nationalist'
