HINDRAF Synergy - Malaysia’s Indian Uprising
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...For decades, the normally docile Indian community has suffered in silence on the lowest rung of Malaysian society. However, with this demonstration last year, they sent a clear message that they would no longer put up with it. Back on the scene, tens of thousands of ethnic Indians - long regarded as second-class citizens - have united to fight for their rights on the streets of normally sedate Kuala Lumpur. The protesters’ persistence, even under attack from water cannons, said a lot about their determination. Only when the police added stinging chemicals to the water were they able to stop the demonstration. Nevertheless, by then the central business district had been locked down for over six hours, and the protest’s organizers - the Hindu Rights Action Force or HINDRAF - had made their point, that the Indian community was sick of being officially treated as second-class citizens in their own country. Moreover, as David O’Shea reports, the surprising results in last month’s national elections mean Malaysia may never be the same again.
