As social activists, Hindraf started fighting against police custodial deaths under PoliceWatch, then the conversion matter of Moorthy and against temple demolitions under the name of Hindraf and now on a more broad based human rights violations and marginalisation of minorities under the Human Rights Party. As it is a rights-based, naturally it is open to all races.

Hindraf is fighting for the poor Indians (not the urban, educated, middle-class or rich Indians) - the bottom 30% who live in small towns, rural areas and those who do not have access to piped water, education, sometimes electricity, who earn RM 13 a day when even the migrants earn RM22 per day.

Those indiscriminately shot at and brutalised in police custody. It is these Malaysians that Hindraf fights for when the other communities contemptuously shun them as a societal sore even when they are Malaysians.

As it grows and more resources are available and with more non-Indian participation in their effort, Hindraf will broaden its campaign to include all races in their fight against discrimination and marginalisation by the policies driven by political parties. As of now it restricts itself to only those Malays and Chinese who approach Hindraf for assistance when they have been shunned by everyone else, including their own race.

Hindraf has given up on the urban English-educated Indians. There are over 10,000 professional Indians but only a few care the plight of the poor Indians. Hindraf struggles for policy change in a macro aspect - not on an individual micro sense but one which would eventually benefit all communities and not just Indians. A policy change benefits all across the board, regardless of race or religion.

Hindraf supported Pakatan Rakyat during the 12 ^th general elections and all it got back for the society it represented were broken promises. Not once since coming to power has Pakatan conferred with Hindraf on policies. Except for the meeting between P Waythamoorthy and Zaid Ibrahim outside Malaysia, until today there is no contact with Hindraf. All their letters and petitions have been spurned.

Hindraf does not trust Umno or Pakatan. Hindraf warns all Malaysians not to trust politicians from either side. These politicians have no intention to resolve the rakyat ’s woes but only want to ensure that they are in pole position for themselves.

Everyone wants Hindraf to join Pakatan and fight for 'the Cause' but no one wants to hear Hindraf's demands. They simply want Hindraf's interests to be subsumed by Pakatan's greater interests for the political front. Hindraf can’t do that and will not bow to any force as it is only submissive to a humane cause.

Hindraf feels Anwar Ibrahim has done all that he can and there is not much more he can achieve, perhaps just a few more seats. That's about all. We need something more to change the government. Hindraf is also embarking on raising Dayak consciousness and Dayak nationalism, and forming a formidable front in East Malaysia.

Hindraf's demands have to be placed upfront as the Indian community has deteriorated so far in every aspect while the rest of the Malaysia just stood by and watched it happen. We have already seen that Pakatan has no intention to resolve Hindraf's demands even when they have the power to do so. Pakatan also has no idea on what to do in East Malaysia too, we are told - no stated policies, just another ping- pong game for their political need.

What more if Pakatan goes to Putrajaya when they can't do a simple thing like address the poverty concerns of the Malaysian Indians?
