[@izzyreneau5702]

John Ferguson not true, in many minor villages in places such as Haryana it is seen but its not very common. So thats why when even one case is reported, it creates an uproar. If you look at history, only Hinduism gives value to females and even pray to female Gods while in every other religion, God is depicted as male. They say when a girl child is born, Goddess Laxmi has come (translates to luck and wealth, happiness). I remember my Indian friend whose Dad used to say she was their lucky star, she’s a doctor now.

If I were close to her, I would have told her that she should be very grateful to her biological parents who had chosen to give her away. They were poor peasants and had many children. If she had not been given her adoptive parents who were rich, she would have not gotten a chance to go to school. She would have married a peasant and had many kids.

Singapore is it’s own melting pot of cultures, must be a lovely place to visit since you get to experience all of them in one place. She seems like a happy person, good for her 💕

My mom is the exact same as this lady. I feel extremely connected to her story

[@NK-vd8xi]

Why do they translate when she says "Tamil" as "Indian"? She's clearly saying "Tamil"

[@CometFire2010]

Cause the Singaporean government sees people as four groups/ethnicities for official purposes.

Every time she says I was adopted and raised by Tamil parent it's not Indian. Tamils in Singapore are citizen of Singapore not India. They moved to Singapore during British India. They fought for Singapore freedom after then they were honored with citizenship. Srilanka also has native tamils . Singapore tamils are citizen of Singapore not India . No hate

How kind hearted her parents to adopt children... GOD bless their souls

[@mithra6122]

Mistranslation: she said she was adopted by Tamilian Family, she didn’t say indian family.. not that it matters but that’s the correct translation.

[@AdityaSingh-om8vo]

And then she said to the tamilian shopkeeper that she's an Indian but they all laughed, but it doesn't matter since she's an Indian whole heartedly 💓

[@hemanthkm]

Outside India: south, east, west or north they call all of them as Indians, not Tamilians,kerealities, Kannadiga or Punjabi's.

[@mithra6122]

Hemanth Raju I know. I was just translating what she said- she said “Thamizh makkal” which translates to Tamilians. Just in case anyone wanted to know exact trans because I understand the language. But in an international context it doesn’t matter, indian is fine.

Because Tamils are not only in india but also in srilanka and Singapore 🤷‍♂️

nawin kumar , Indian is a political construct and we Tamils respect it. Tamil is a Culture, it’s a ethos, it’s an identity. Hence we say she is Tamil . Also FYI being Tamil need not mean one is Indian , one could be Srilankan also . You may not realise these things as you live in the north, doesn’t matter we are here to tell you
