From Tamils to Malayalees, from Bengalis to Punjabis, the diverse
Indian community in Singapore has played a large part in building
the country. To understand the Indian community, one must know
certain basic facts about them.First is their love for culture
which transcends religious and linguistic differences. Some of the
best classical Hindustani singers are Muslims. The best Malayalam
singer of Hindu religious songs is a Christian.Second is their love
of debates. Argument is part of Indian tradition because of the
belief that truth can only be arrived at vigorous debate.The third
characteristic is the community's respect for education. Indians,
across castes and religions have always venerated knowledge and
learning as being a value in itself.The fourth characteristic of
the Indians is their devoutness: they take their religious duties
seriously and perform them regularly.This celebratory volume
highlights the progress, contributions and challenges of the
community for the past 50 years since Singapore's independence in
1965.
