John A.Thivy

My first article was dedicated to John A.Thivy. He is the father for Malaysian Indians political struggle. He was the co-founder and 1st president of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC). MIC is one of the oldest political parties of Malaysia, established in August 1946. The original objective of MIC was to recruit Indians in Malaya to Indian National Army (INA). INA was formed by Subash Chandra Bose to end the British Colonial rule in India. After the second world war MIC leadership transformed his objective to represent the Indian community politically in the post war development of the Malaya. Even though today MIC has run far away from his objective yet historically no one can deny, MIC was formed to protect the Indians interest in this nation. Unfortunately from community interest MIC today was seen aligned to personal interest and community come second.
