Ill-treatment of ethnic Indians in Malaysia – what can India do?

The situation is far graver than understood. India faces another erupting ‘Sri Lanka’ in Malaysia. The problem in Sri Lanka is the manifestation of a majority ethnic community continuing centuries of human rights abuse and discrimination on a minority ethnic group. India as country did little to support the Tamils that want justice. Now it is too late. The civil war in Sri Lanka is real.
A similar situation is arising in Malaysia. The Indian communities in Malaysia are abused for centuries. The human rights abuse goes well beyond a few cases. It is an attempt by the majority ethnic groups to literally exterminate the Indian ethnicity in Malaysia.
India wonders what can it do? "This is a matter which concerns us. Whenever people of India run into difficulties, it is a source of concern," says Indian PM Manmohan Singh. This is exactly how Gandhi family in eighties neglected the situation in Sri Lanka. It finally blew up on the face of the Indian Government. Today it is a full fledged civil war.
India must rise and tell the Malaysian authorities that human rights of Indian ethnic communities will not be tolerated. India should threaten militarily and economically. Fiscal, trade and diplomatic boycott is the first step. Indian Navy should be authorized to use all means including serious blockades to make the Malaysian authorities know that India will not tolerate ethnic abuse of Indians in Malaysia.
Malaysian authorities do not understand the slogan of decency. They do understand the tone of military threat. It is time India moves for the Indians. It is time India tells the world stop abusing Indians.
