The 2007 HINDRAF rally was a rally held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 25 November 2007. The rally organiser, the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF), had called the protest over alleged discriminatory policies which favour ethnic Malays. The rally was the second such street protest after the 2007 Bersih rally in Kuala Lumpur on 10 November 2007. The rally started when a crowd estimated to be between 5,000 and 30,000 people gathered outside the Petronas Twin Towers at midnight, early Sunday morning.
At least 240 people were detained, but half of them were later released.
Hindu religious NGOs, including MHS, decided to form a special committee after the burial of Murthi according to Islamic rights, to study and make recommendations on the issues of conversions to Islam, namely grabbing of dead bodies and conversions of children. Mr. P. Waythamoorthy was made the chairman of this special committee. However, after more cases of temple demolitions and conversions, this committee evolved and saw the formation of Hindraf in June 2007 with the involvement of religious NGO's, politicians and other Indian-based NGO's.[1][2] HINDRAF prepared a memorandum on all issues of the Indian community in Malaysia, starting from the British colonial days, right up to present situation of the Indian community being considered as second rate citizens of the country. They conducted various protests and rallies. HINDRAF's proposals to the PM of Malaysia to resolve various issues affecting the plantation workers. MHS made several attempts, together with other Hindu and Indian NGO's through YSS to bring both MIC President and HINDRAF leaders together to have a discussion.[3] However, these efforts failed and eventually culminated in the massive HINDRAF.
