The age-old adage " be a Roman when you are in Rome" applies to everyone. (See here Indianised Sonia Gandhi). If one prefers to migrate and settle in another country one must sensitize himself to the above saying. If anything is objectionable, there is always lawful route instead of falling back upon one's mother-land for all the ills. At this rate, one will not be surprised that the migrating population demands a separate country (what I mean, imagine Indians in USA unite and demand a separate country of their own within USA). The way things are happening I can not stop from thinking 'absurdly'. I think voices will be raised in support of an Indian who commits a dastardly crime in Saudi Arabia and gets punished there. I do not know how one can read my opinion in the context of 'MALAYSIA'. But International Law is wider subject. - Political Analyst

Dear Bala, would you have told the same thing to Indians during freedom struggle to obey the rules of British, to East Bengalis when "East pakis" were oppressed by "west Pakis" which led to Indo-Pak conflict of birth of Bangladesh, or to Chechenyans when Rusians were bombing them relentlessly or to Kosovians when Yugos were oppressing them? Any social oppression anywhere will invite international criticism and international action. Humanitarian considerations involoving liberty, dignity, equality go beyond political philosophies and barriers.Don't look at the adjective "Indian". Any other oppressed section of society would deserve our sympathy and support.

No, I would not have told because India is our country and British came here and ruled us. But Indians in large population went to Malaysia (not only Malaysia, but Singapore, Ceylon, Burma and other countries as well) for living and ruled by Malaysians. Will you extend your support now to me and other Hindus who are oppressed by Karunanidhi who is making sacrilegous statements against Hindu-God, their religious practices in temples and making the people spend sleep-less nights here in India itself. I am surprised we are talking about Indians in other countries. We have to talk about treatment meted out to us in our own mother land. This is a kind of oppression, isn't it? Leave Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Middle east where Indians went for livelihood. If you personally ask me, we should have remained with British. You and one may not agree. But it is better to get caught with Karunanidhi type of politicians -Political Analyst

my dear friend in malaysia the ppl r malaysians by birth more than 2-3 generations. these r the ppl joining with chinees mostly responsible for malaysian freedom. at present most of the so called malays are migrated indonatians. just bez of thier religon and majority they r enjoying all previlages under BUMIPUTRA quota. these poor indian origion malaysians c`nt get jobs in govt, chinees are not employing them, though many indian students score more marks in exams they could`nt get admisions to universities. when it comes to allotment of houses they have not been considered. when ever thier representitive raise any questions in parlieament those MPs will be suspended for three months. so many social problems these poor ppl r facing. they never asked help from any country. they r fighting for their rights. do u belive they r dooing wrong?

I do not believe that they are doing anything wrong. I will get back to you with detailed analysis later. I definitely sympathise with Malaysians of Indian Origin if they have just cause. I am posting the message in the context of interference by Indian Tamil political leaders. That's all.
