Euro-American misrepresentations of the non-West in general and in particular on Hinduism and ancient India run deep and have far greater colonial connections than that have been exposed in academia. This book analyzes the psycho-social consequences that Indian American children face after they are exposed to the school textbook discourse on Hinduism and ancient India. The authors show that there is an intimate connection-an almost exact correspondence-between James Mill's colonial-racist discourse and the current school-textbook discourse. The very parameters and coordinates on which James Mill constructed the discourse are the ones that are being used to describe Hinduism Hindus and ancient India in the textbooks currently. Consequently this archaic and racist discourse camouflaged under the cover of political correctness produces in the Indian American children a psychological impact quite similar to what racism is known to produce: shame inferiority embarrassment identity confusion assimilation and a phenomenon similar to racelessness where the children dissociate from the tradition and culture of their ancestors. This book argues that the current school textbook discourse on Hinduism and India needs to change so that the Indian American children do not become victims of overt and covert racism. For the change to occur the first step is to recognize the overarching and pervasive influence of the colonial-racist discourse of James Mill on the textbooks. For the reconstruction of the discourse to take place the first step is to engage in a thorough deconstruction which is what the book attempts.
