Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children is now freely available.
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 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.


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.

Nirṇayasāgara Press

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

The printing of the scriptural works in the devanāgarī[1] script has always been an arduous task. When the printing presses were still in the early stages of development, much more care was needed to get the final product right. The Nirṇayasāgara Press is one printing press that deserved all the praise.

Started in A. D. 1864, it was situated at 26-28, Kolbhat Street, Bombay-2. It was one of the oldest commercial organisations of India, totally dedicated to the printing and publication of Sanskrit books. Apart from the well-known scriptures it had brought out the literary works also under the Kāvyamālā series.
