Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

Vajrāyudha literally means ‘the thunderbolt weapon’.

Vajrāyudha is the invincible weapon of Indra with which he killed many powerful asuras[1] like Vṛtra.

Vajrāyudha

It is said to have been shaped out of the backbone of the sage Dadhīci by Viśvakarma, the architect of the gods.
