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.

I am a Commerce graduate and a student of Institute Of Chartered Accountants Of India and Institute Of Company Secretaries Of India. I love reading and it excites me. I am willing to explore a new avenue of reading. I want to take my hobby of reading to another level and working as an editor can definitely give a different drive to my reading hobby. I also enjoy learning new things.
