It is not only the Indians who are People, all Malaysians are People.

I find the entire to and fro emails and the conception of fighting the rights of Indians is the only way to uplift the Indians’ way of life currently which is in a state of despair is illogical and stone-aged. You are just creating another splinter party for Indians and I find it further weakening the Indian votes.

Try fighting for all discriminated and sidelined Malaysians – you’ll garner more support. Or do you find it a rather a difficult thing to do or imagine - an Indian fighting for the rights of poor Malays or Ibans or etc ....
Why so much of race? Why have this feeling of inferiority complex? What about those successful Indians, how did they make it? Dear Uthaya & Naragan, we have to come out of the race based political agenda and fight for a cause – a cause to uplift the lives of People – then you get People Power – which is the true meaning of Makkal Shakthi.
It is not only the Indians who are People, all Malaysians are People. MIC was formed with the same purpose as HRP. And over the years, they too squandered. HRP under you might be like MIC during Tun Sambanthan’s time, fighting for the cause. But what will happen to HRP beyond you – someone like Samy comes along or someone like Kamalanathan comes along who have shown support to Perkasa. Of course, if your 15/38 becomes a reality, you would have more bargaining power – which means you could demand for more. The question is, will it be for you and your cronies or the People of Malaysia? When I say cronies, I mean who you consider "your own people".
Dear Uthaya, you have answered the very question you were asking the Taiping OCPD during the cremation procession of the two killed brothers in Taiping recently. You were asking or were shouting at him why Indians are being killed and of those shot down 80% (or was it 90% - can't remember and not bothered to see that video again) were Indians. And yet you have indirectly answered this question in one of your articles (HRP website), that the Chinese were the majority who were involved in criminal activities in the 60's and 70's and now they have moved up economically. The majority of Indians have chosen this criminal path and I can only see that the choice made lies on that individual - it is not that there is no other way of making a living.
You are fighting for Tamil schools. What about the other non-Tamil speaking Indians? Based on this hypocrisy, it is rather obvious that you are not fighting for the majority of Indians in Malaysia - only the Tamil speaking Indians - isn't this a hypocrisy, that you fight for the majority of your own within the enclave of Indians?
If you open your eyes a little wider you could see that your initial struggle of a noble cause has turned into a shallow race-centered and further swallowed by religion-centered (Indians of Hindu religion) and further by dialect centered (Indians of Tamil origin).
You have have one step to go, through which MIC has embarked for sometime now, which is caste-centered (Tamils of a certain caste). Only God knows where this would stop. What we have here is a failure of communication, a failure to listen, a failure to act as one.
Shall all the non-Tamil speaking People start fighting for a Telugu school, Malayalee school, Gujurati school, Sikh school, etc ....? The current system has failed, and yet you are starting a new one along the same line. This is mockery of any well-educated Indian.
You could go on and twist and turn the no-brainers. An Indian like me, who was born and bred from the estates, an estate with no electricity and no proper water supply, finds it silly to start all over again with a system that has squandered monies from the poor and made the rich richer. Even coming from the estates, I did not choose the criminal way of life and later blame the system - I fought a good fight of the system to prevail.
The change should start from each individual's heart - that all are one in the eyes of GOD, not measured by race, religion or creed. You start changing your mentality and start working with others of similar fate. Start educating those Indian parents who are so into drinking liquor and producing offpsrings and later on cannot afford to educate their children. Look in the mirror and make that change first and others would too.
