Very rarely do Malaysians see such defiance. Despite repeated warnings and a court order which allowed the police to 'arrest on sight', they came out in the thousands on Nov 25 into the streets of Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It was, in part, a protest inspired by Indian independence activist and pacifist, Mahatma Gandhi.<\/p>\n

Like Gandhi, the Hindraf supporters were out to show mass civil disobedience and it was prominently shown by a crowd of almost 5,000 near the Hotel Maya at Jalan Ampang. <\/p>\n

For at least five times, the crowd would run helter-skelter at each ‘water canon charge’, only to defiantly claim back their original positions, chanting “We want justice!” in both Tamil and English.<\/p>\n

The following are a selection of Malaysiakini <\/em>news reports, analyses, videos and letters on the Nov 25 Hindraf protest.<\/p>\n
