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 expose the correspondence between textbooks and the colonial-racist discourse. This racist discourse 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.

Talk:Trivikrama (‘one with three steps’)

Trivrtkarana.jpg

created three fundamental elements out of himself. They are: tejas (fire), āpa (water) and anna (earth). These three are the pure elements imperceptible to the senses. Brahman then created the gross elements out of these, by the process of trivṛtkaraṇa or triplication. In this, half of one subtle or sukṣma element is combined with one-fourth of the other two, resulting in the gross (sthula) element as follows: (subtle) tejas | + (subtle) āpa | + (subtle) anna | = gross or sthula tejas. This is technically called trivṛtkaraṇa. The process is similar to that of pañcikaraṇa. See PAÑCĪKARANA.
