HINDRAF

Hindu Rights Action Force, better known by its acronym HINDRAF (, ); is a Malaysian Hindu-activist non-governmental organisation (NGO) whose slogan is Makkal Sakti (மக்கள் சக்தி) or Kuasa Rakyat translated as ''People's Power''. The organisation began as a coalition of 30 Hindu NGOs committed to the preservation of Hindu rights and heritage in a multiracial Malaysia.

HINDRAF has had an impact on the political landscape of Malaysia by staging the 2007 HINDRAF rally. Following a rally organised by HINDRAF in November 2007, several prominent members of the organisation were arrested, some on charges of sedition. The charges were dismissed by the courts. Five people were arrested and detained without trial under the Internal Security Act (ISA). Toward the end of the 2000s, the group developed a broader political program to preserve and to push for equal rights and opportunities for the minority Indians. It is focused on drawing attention to the racist aspects of Malaysian Government policies.
