The way i see it..

Yess, it's been some time and now i'm back.

i live at the border of the capital of Malaysia. 20 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) the two towers. There are alot of unresolved issues happening in Malaysia. First and foremost, this post maybe boring to some..but it will educate you in someway..and yess, this will be a long post.

Secondly, Malaysia's government is being over thrown by the oppositions and are supported by thousands of unhappy Malaysians. *depends if the government allows them to win la..*

The way i see it

If the opposition wins.. the people will still complain because Malaysians are skeptical. You can make changes to Malaysia but not the people.. We here are buttered unevenly and i don't think they (the opposition if they win) can change Malaysia because we make up the country not the government. *Everybody wants to be a politician when it comes to 'how to rule?'* On the other hand, i would like to see effective changes rather than knowing how is the Malaysian government spending our taxes.. If the Prime Minister thinks the opposition can do a better job, then he should step down to allow them to prove it.. because it's for the greater good for our people unless if you're power hungry..this is just my personal point of view la..

I will leave politics to politicians and votes to concern Malaysians.

And then comes a young Indian girl in her twenties, throwing posts on Facebook about people of a selected caste and how she is brought up by her family according to her caste. She also mentions how "HER" people are better. She basically pist off almost the whole Indian community in Malaysia. and there were few supporting her.
and therefor, she became viral.

The effect, alot of talks about caste lately. Hundreds of Indians posting and tweeting in anger about her statements on social media and how she delivered the message. One started an Anti page of her and another made a parody video a.k.a Vlog *video blogging* that suppose to be funny and educational at the same time. *i guess*

A fraction of the concern community comments with rotating points while the others (that i think just took up English classes) posts angrily in broken English. The wise however, keeps their conversations in a mamak over a teh tarik.

The way i see it

Starting up an Anti page on Facebook is a great way to calculate the number of Indians in Malaysia.
- They can collect your information
- Track your movements because you keep telling the world for no damn reason where you're at, so they can rob your house when you are away or rape your siblings
- it may or may not be a government project

Anywayyyyy,
After few heated arguments with my good friend on this matter. He explained things he read, heard and was taught about as he grew up. As a Tamil schooled boy, he understood how restrictions and superstitious work in the Indian religion. He tells me that everything that a person does for example yoga or meditation has a scientific explanation. Also When building a temple.. this picture may explain if you don't get it.



and then we reached the topic of caste. I told him that to hell with caste and religion.. Two things that separated men. He agreed and he told me a proverb told by Mahatma Gandhi

" God has no religion "

We talked about this girl and her allegations on the social media. And so he told me a story that made me come to writing this post today. He told me that the caste infiltrated the system thru the job people did long time ago. Example: A farmer, a priest, a warrior, a shaman and even an outcast has a caste respectively. These jobs for these people never change, it runs for generations to generations. If a lady is a prostitute then her daughter will be one too. Yes, i know it's hard to believe but it's true.. and i bet some of you are already asking what if she has a boy instead of a girl.. Well..i don't know.. He might become a 'Bapak Ayam' or something.. no idea.

Now, don't get confused. That's just the caste part of the story. This was what he was taught in school, 3 brothers ruled 3 different Tamil speaking land. These people spoke Tamil in these lands but they have different slang's (accent). The people who lived along side of the mountain are known as Malayali s'.
The people who lived on the southeastern coast of India are known as Telugu people and the people on the 3rd land are known as Tamilans.

The Malayali's spoke Malayalam, the Telugu people spoke Telugu and the Tamilans spoke Tamil.  Sanskrit was added in Telugu so it's a lil harder to understand than the other two. Now, coming back to the story.

Tamilans divided themselves with the caste system, calling names to what job they do. Do you know that 'dobi' is a caste. Guess what do this people do? yes.. their work is to wash cloths.

Malayali's and Telugu people have also divided themselves according to the job they do, generation after generation.

So now... there is no need to discriminate one another saying who is in a better caste. This is just a system to divide people from unity. It is the job that the people did long long time ago. Some still follow this caste system when they get married now. i don't see why should they? Everyone is equal. How can an invisible word get a hold of you??

Conclusion,
Leave everything aside and see another person as your friend.
We never ask anyone what caste or how much money they have to become friends..
The way i see it, many of us need to change the way we think about others.
Caste is a thing of the past, we now have good education and knowledge equally for everyone..
Don't let these small things stop you in your track.

Caste is something we are given unwillingly when we are born and i''m not gonna wear this tag..i'm not proud of it. it's for the weak to step on others..and keep them divided.

Even a king will bleed if he gets a paper cut.
