The Malaysian Indian Dilemma:
The Struggles and Agony of the Indian Community in Malaysia
-
Janakey Raman Manickam
New. Malaysian Indians have usually managed to get the raw end of the deal from the time they arrived in Malaya as indentured, or enslaved, labourers to work on British plantations. After independence they did not fare much better thanks in part to inept representation. (Tamils in Asia have a knack of following leaders with something of a self-destructive streak.) This book tells the Indian story, but this time refreshingly from an Indian point of view. 400 pages including several black and white plates, tables, an index and a bibliography. The book's chapters include
- 1 - Indians in Malaysia: General Information,
- 2 - The Arrival of Indians in the Malay Archipelago,
- 3 - The Early Indian Migrants and Their Struggle for Survival 1786-1940,
- 4 - The Emergence of the Malayan Indian 1941-1957,
- 5 - The Status of Indians in Post-Independent Malaya 1970-1990,
