When we move forward in line with time and technology, perception was our relationship with one another, which might be among the relatives or neighbours will be discarded. The researcher used to say, people are running after the material world and are ignoring the neighbours. Even Malaysian Indians used to refer as most disunited community in Malaysia, may be "yes" or may be "no".
Everything changes in a night after 25 November 2007. Indians stand united in the name of Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF). Although they call it as a "Hindu" but then in reality Indians from any religion stand together for the sake of their future generations. People especially my Malay friends used to ask me, why and what was the reason for the Indians to go to the street? I have to explain to them because all this while either malay/chinese politicians or non-politician, they was ignorance about the plights of the Indian community. In other words "not bothered" to know about Indian community and as far as they concern, what ever happen, Indian will stand side by side with BN through MIC.
My answer is straight forward, it's a political failure for MIC under Samy Velu leadership, a fact that everyone has to accept. Unfortunately, Mr.Samy refuses to understand the straight forward signal from community. Indians want to see the changes politically, economically and socially. The biggest mistake a politician used to repeat in third world country is the thought, "the community will collapse" if they resign from the political arena as a leader for the community and they want to remain in the system forever if possible until the GOD call them back to His fold. The same goes to Mr.Samy.
Going back to unity, I do believe, Indians are now more united and networked through short messaging system (sms) and they are willing to spend to make sure they spread the message to another Indian. Basically I'm receiving minimum 6 sms on daily basis about the Indian community which I feel, more than half is true and government should look into it on how to overcome the problem and not on how to suppress the community and by doing so, they can gain the Indian votes in next general election. Indians today has decided to vote for opposition even to PAS as a kind of protest on ignorance of BN on overcoming the plights of Indians.
I do believe a minority community not means they can't be a powerful community. They can be more powerful than others if they know how to play chess. An intelligence community should be able to determine what government must do, to get their votes, otherwise don't knock my door during the election campaign. If we can do that, that means we are most powerful community because there is a lot of different when a Parliament member win with a slim or landslide majority. Definitely if a senior cabinet minister, like Mr.Samy win the Sungai Siput constituency with a majority of 1000 votes then that is a biggest shame in his political career.
Community must continue the struggle for betterment of present and future life with more intelligence way. Just to share the sms with you which I think is one of the strategic msg I received so far. Why not we try to follow this strategy. Msg as follows;
Indian makkal, the struggle must continue. We must show our makkal shakthi. We must 1. boikot thaipusam celebration in KL. Nadaraja is the cause for our 31 brothers attempted murder charge. 2. boikot minnal.fm and rtm, they say Indians as a terrorist and traitor of the country. 3. ignore mic, their leaders and their programme. 4. talk openly you are not happy with umno lead government. 5. have prayers all over
