I dont understand why we keep calling them as INDIANs when they are not actually. I have visited Malysia many times and have seen that they will burst with anger if you call them INDIANs, they dont want to be named INDIANS instead Malaysians... then why we are calling them Indians befoer addressing them as iNdians one of should ask them are they happy with this term and do they want to associate with India any more,, its sad reality but its true and we should accept it.

The story covered by rediff is not because of human angle. It is because of sufferings of so called Indians. That is the point, dude.

but when they dont call themselves as INDIANS and dont want to associate with INDIA why do we consider them as Indians, there forfathers moved to Malsysia 150 years ago like SRI lanka do we still call Tamilian Sri Lankans as INDIANS?
instead of blaming malayaisa , indians should correct it own approach towards reservations . If you want to help some community the right way is good education,food and clothing . reservations in any form leads to some one being dicriminated. morever such policies assume that all upper class / caste people are better off , however large economic differences exist between same caste/ class / race of people.
India has not framed sedition charges even against one Muslim despite their terror activities and separatist violence and ethnic cleansing of hindus in j&k. long live appeasement long live sonia and catholicism - the promoter of all deviltry along with islam

what about gujrat rioters..? r they r in jail..? no, now they r on mission election with Modi sarkar.
These people of Indian origin have toiled in rubber plantations and other hazardous jobs for generations. Now they are denied even their basic rights. Malaysian Govt should wake up and avoid another Sri Lanka type crisis

What a Contrast! Here in India the PM says the first right to Govt.Funding will be with the Indian Muslims [for Rioting in Kolkatta?]. But outside India The docile,hard-working Hindus are not even getting minimum Benefirs to live! Hindus will start thinking that like Muslims they also should take to violence!

Dont bring Srilanka into it. With LTTE type Organisations around no decent,civilised Society will deal with Hindus/Tamilians in a fair manner.

Kraft, LTTE is not a Hindu organisation. Its chief Prabhakaran is a Christian and his son's name is Charles. They are not fighting in the name of any religion. The majority of Sinhalese believe in Buddhist non-violence. Still the Tamilians did not get fair treatment in Sri Lanka.
Btw the Sri Lankan Tamils are not Indian Citizens. They are citizens of that country. The Indian citizens (Tamilians) were deported to our Country under a pact entered into between the late Ms. Indira Gandhi and the late Ms. Sarmavo Bhandaranayake.
If the Malaysian government has not still granted citizenship to Indian indentured workers who have gone to that country 150 years ago, Indian govt has a duty to diplomatically persuade Malaysia to grant them citizenship rights. All countries in the world grant citizenship rights to people who were born in those countries. It is a natural right. There are also forums under the United Nations, such as the UN's Human Rights Commission,which must be approached to get justice for those hapless Malaysian Indians. Indian government must act at once.

My dear Surya, foul language is no substitute to logic; it only mirrors the true self of the writer and his upbringing. I request you and others also not to use foul language, but to make use of this DISCUSSION BOARD as a social platform for opinion moblization to support good causes.
