Who are the Tamil Malaysians? Origin, History and Issues of the biggest Indian community of Malaysia

Hello everyone!
In this video, we will explore the fascinating history and current issues facing the Tamil Malaysians. The Tamil community in Malaysia is one of the oldest and largest minority groups in the Country, with a rich cultural heritage and a unique identity.
We will begin by tracing the origin of the Tamils in Malaysia and the factors that contributed to their migration to the country. From their first arrival, the Chola period, up to the big migration wave in the 19th century as indentured laborers to their growth as a vibrant community, we will examine the various milestones in the history of this important Dravidian community in Malaysia.
We will also delve into some of the issues that the Tamil community has faced over the years, including discrimination, marginalization, and political representation. We will look at the ways in which the community has mobilized to address these issues and assert their rights as equal citizens of Malaysia.
Additionally, we will explore their cultural and artistic contributions, and we will showcase some of the unique traditions and practices that are part of the Tamil identity in Malaysia.
Finally, we will examine the current challenges and opportunities facing the Tamils in Malaysia, including issues related to education, employment, and social integration. We will highlight the efforts being made by the community and its allies to address these challenges and create a more inclusive and equitable society for all Malaysians.

Thank you for shedding light on the continued racism that Tamil Malaysians experience. Might want to add to your video that a lot of Indians were brought to Malaysia through indentured slavery by the British and other colonisers.

Tamils once ruled s e Asia,but sadly s e Asian countries are not giving recognition to Tamils,the malay language foundation was founded by a Tamil, munshi Abdullah, but some Malay politicians are trying to close Tamil and Chinese schools,the real agenda of the muslims is to force Islamic education on non muslims tru national schools

[@nathanramasamy3193]

Well said, however the Tamils need to continue striving.

Thank you!

@@TheGeekySimo I was wondering if you could do a video on Arwi. It is the name of the extended Arabic script used for writing Tamil, sometimes also called a language exclusively spoken by the Muslim Tamils but it isn't a distinct language, but it definitely is very old, so old that it is what the first Muslims of the Indian subcontinent wrote their language in, which is just Arabic influenced Tamil. I'm getting ahead of myself here. There isn't any English based content about Arwi on KZbin and the ones that are there on the internet simply sound like they were written with feeling rather than facts in mind

[@TheGeekySimo]

​@@nsawatchlistbait289 yes, you are right. There is not too much material in English language about Arwi (as well as Arabi Malayalam). This is a real pity, as these languages are the only vestiges still present of the fourteen-century-old encounter between the Arab and Indian worlds. An encounter that brought with it a very different type of Islam from the Persian-Central Asian one, which over the centuries ended up being the dominant/mainstream one in India, penetrated from the northwestern borders of the Subcontinent. You might be interested in watching a documentary called 'Yaadhum' about Tamil Muslims, in which Arwi is also mentioned.

We Tamils are proud of our origins and at the same time we love our Malaysia.

[@sajeethnaveen1978]

0:31 7% is the total population of Indians in Malaysia, not Tamils. Tamils make up approximately 75% of the total Indian population in Malaysia, which is only 7%. The fact is Tamils make up only 5.25% of total Malaysian population.
