Abstract

Until today, the study of the history of the Indian community in Colonial Malaya is described as linear, with focus on two situations: their arrival in Malaya as immigrants, and their involvement in the estates. Other aspects of the history of Indians in Malaya during the colonial period are not given proper attention, especially in matters considered taboo, such as suicide. In consideration of this fact, this study focuses on the aspect of suicide among the Indian estate workers in colonial Malaya, especially within the period 1900-1941. This study is carried out using primary sources not used by previous researchers.
