You're an indian and you don't know where you belong?
Statistics have been compiled, research has beenconducted, relatives have been consulted, the gossip aunties (their big hips clad in colourful andbright goldensarees) have actually, for ONCE agreed.
We present to you the characteristics that classifythe THREE majorIndian groups (or perhaps, castes?) that exist in Malaysia. The REGULARs, HIP-HOPPERs & MACHAs)
REGULAR
Definition: Comprises a mere 7-10 % of the total population of Indians in Malaysia. Found in well-developed parts of the cities spread throughout the peninsular.(none have been found in Sabah & Sarawak as yet)
Characteristics include:
1. Speaks English as their 1st language.
2. Do not know how to (or just dont) speak their mother tongue.
3. Prefer to identify themselves by sub-group ratherthan the plainIndian (ie-malayalee, Ceylonese, telugu, sikh,north indian etc).
4. Uses the internet more than the other 2 groups combined.
5. Swears off, criticises and ridicules those who watch tamil/hindi movies and/or dramas.
6. Instead, watches the OC, MTV and otherAmerican sitcoms.
7. Thinks that the REGULAR group is way larger than it actually is and constantly makes fun of the other groups, in particular the MACHA group.Why? Because it's fun.
8. Aspires to be a doctor. Those who do medicine will eventually do so at UK/Australia, but will normally end up taking more than the required six years to complete the degree due to excessive failure.
9. Despises Samy Vellu. Recent studies have shown that there is a growing splinter group within the REGULARs knows as the IPWTTANI (IndianPeople Who Think They AreNotIndians). This growing sub-group is considered the elitist by some and is found to make the occasional statements like "Iwish I were in the UK" and/or "This never happened when I was studying in Australia". They often speak in unidentifiable accents. The women/men of this group also prefer to date white men/women from foreign countries with the excuse that local men/women "just don't understand me". Many secretly desire to be taken away to live in aBollywood film with a happily-ever-after ending.
THE HIP-HOPPERS
Definition: The 2nd major group of Indians, the HIP-HOPPERS comprises about 20-30% of the population of Indians. Normally living in urban areas of cities, theHIP-HOPPERS, as their name suggests, can never be found where they actually come from, but rather in clubs, bars, pubs etc. Many secretly desire to be like the REGULARS but just don't make the cut.
Characteristics include:
1. TRY to speak English as their 1st language.
2. Their actual 1st language is Tamil.
3. Openly desire to be blacks (waddap dawg?)
4. Hair not in original colour
5. Have unknown hand movements and slangs that are supposedly cool that supposedly go well together with their normal attire of FUBU jerseys and baggy jeans (that are more often than not bought in PetalingStreet/ChowKit)
6. Are famously known to shorten their names to suit their lifestyles(ie. Sam, for Muthusamy and Amber for Ambikadevy)
7. Large quantities (almost all) found in JalanTelawi of Bangsar(though, to be fair, manyREGULAR groups are found here too)
8. Parents want them to be doctors. Many end up studying medicine inRussia/Ukraine because they refuse to go to India and cannot affordUK/Australia. Those who go to India may eventually switch camps to the MACHA group.
9. Despises Samy Vellu.
The HIP-HOPPERS major claim to fame is driving out all the REGULARs(Malay, Chinese & Indian) and the white expatriates from Bangsar by large quantities, so much so that they can now call Bangsar "home".
The last and largest group of Indians in the country comes from theMACHA group. Probably themost famous group, it is so well known that mostMalaysians think ALL Indians are from the MACHA group. Comprising nearly 70% of the Indian population in M'sia, the MACHAS can be found in urban parts of the cities, and also in estates.
Characteristics include:
1. Speaks Tamil as their 1st language
2. Sees Tamil Nadu/Madras (India) as the place to be.
3. Astro at home is hardwired to Astro Vaanavil.
4. Worship Bollywood films. The men openly desire to be like Rajnikanth or their favourite Indian star.
5. A night-out will have to include a stop at any Indian shop in Brickfields. The shopping haven will have to be Jalan Masjid India.
6. Know all the Tamil songs by heart and has never heard of Hitz.FM
7. For men, outfit is never complete without a gold chain. Women prefer to spend their life-savings on gold jewelry and gaudy sarees.
8. Half of them aspire to be doctors, the other half; their parents want them to be doctors. Thebright ones become the pride of all Indians in the country when they enter UM for medicine, the less fortunate go to AIMST. Many more attain paradise and have their dreams come true when allowed to go off toIndia(most of the time Manipal) to do medicine. Most just drop-out of schooland contribute to social-problem areas in the country.
9. Loves Samy Vellu.
So, which group do YOU belong to? ;-)
As the second bang for SHAFEEQ for that post below the post blow this
