Malaysian "Indians"
If you are familiar with this blog and my musings over the past three years, you would have guessed by now that I’m one of those “anal” people who get very irritated by callous use of the term “Indian”. To me India is a Republic. We have a national identity based one a constitution. Not based of the fact that most of our skins have a similar tan or we have a Hindu past.
Since when did “Indians” start becoming an ethnic indenity? Don’t get me wrong. Rasicim is bad and Malaysia will pay the price for mistreating people based on their origins. You cannot go around claiming to be “Truly Asia” when you are practising and encouraging government sponsored systematic rasicim.
Malaysia, treat your citizens right. They too are Bhumiputras. This bhumi belongs to all of us. How far into history do you want to go?
