The Chitty - Malacca's forgotten descendants

With a dwindling population and a dying culture, the Chitty people of Malacca hold fast to what's left of their community. Almost camouflaged in the backdrop of Malaccan Peranakan heritage, we follow one man's journey to create a memoir of his people.

Selain berharap cina peranakan diberikan status bumiputera, Sy jg amat berharap yg mana India peranakan jgk dipertimbangkan utk mendapat taraf bumiputera memandangkn sumbgan budaya mereka yg sama besar dgn komuniti baba nyonya sejak ratusan tahun dahulu.

I never knew about Chetti people although we learned about baba nyonya during school days. Why was peranakan Chetti not part of our history education in Malaysia? 😢😢😢 sadly we learned almost nothing about our own history

Negeri selat dulu adalah penang,melaka dan singapura...ibu negeri selat dulu adalah singapura...kemudian malaya...selepas itu baru terbentuknya malaysia dalam malaysia termasuk penang,melaka dan singapura...tetapi sayang sekali masalah politik singapura telah dikeluarkan dari malaysia pada 9.8.1965...jadi sekarang dalam malaysia peranakan tinggal 2 buah negeri sahaja iaitu penang dan melaka...singapura telah berpisah dari malaysia...tapi asalnya satu negeri negeri selat dulunya....saya adalah peminat sejarah...

I think you are referring to Chettier - money lander. We are call Chitty Melaka, it a mix marriage community between Indian trades with Nusantara ladies & Peranakan Chinese ladies. These community started in Melaka not elsewhere.

South Indians have a unique culture, then why do North Indians over act.?

[@namasevayamt.d.3778]

Ever wondered why even after 600 years the babas and nyonyas and the chitty melaka never became muslims! Why? Melaka was never a Muslim country. It was hindu and taoist until recently upon the arrival of the British when they have recognition to these muslim sultans who had converted to Islam from Hinduism. It was also the British who gave the melayus their written language using English alphabets.
