A quote taken from Albert Einstein reads “The only source of knowledge is experience”. This book is about life experiences of the Malaysian Chindians. It captures the fundamental elements of ethnic identity development from the emic perspective of the Chindians and discusses it with academic vigor. It weaves into their daily live experiences, encounters, perceptions and emotions and analyses these to provide knowledge about the ethnic identity development of bi-ethnic Chindians in Malaysia. With knowledge comes understanding and with understanding eventually acceptance follows.
