[hyacinthus]

[Subangite]

Eh? I brought you pass that place when we went to Klang mah :D

But of course at that time not as lively as now lah :D

[baqthier]

^ Yeah but no pics were taken. :cry:

KL had 2 Little Indias. One is the area around Masjid India which is more of a fusion but then again the area next to it is purely Indian and not Indian Muslims which Masjid India is ;)

Brickfields is the closest we could get to the actual Little India. The problem is that Jalan Travers is kinda wide and it separates the place into 2! :(

Indian muslims not pure Indians meh? ;)

[Subangite]

Indian muslims not pure Indians meh? ;)

They are indians but I guess it depends who you ask. Indian muslims mix almost assimilate into the malay culture.

[szehoong]

Indian muslims not pure Indians meh? ;)


Yes......but they do not donned the cultures of Indians in general and religiously they are Muslims so they do not celebrate Deepavali ;)

[szehoong]

Not really.....they still keep to their language, textile and food culture. The main difference is perhaps the religion and other cultural aspects esp when it involves Tamil Gods ;)

Frankly, they are not even half as assimiliated into the Malay culture as the Babas & Nyonyas ;)

Where about is Klang Little India? I know Majid India of course, but this one totally unknown to me. Would love to visit. :)

[szehoong]

^^ It is kinda like very near to Klang's town centre......near to the palace and the Sultan Sulaiman Mosque if not mistaken :D I dunno the location in Klang well off my head but I could only drive there and I'll know the way around once I am there hahaha :lol:

Your next trip to KL....just gimme a buzz and see if we could make a trip to Klang ;) Have you been to Klang? :?

[Greg]

Thanks for your offer and I'm looking forward to a trip there. :)
I belive I was never in Klang, although my gf dragged me here and there so I was confused where I finally was. :dizzy:
Anyway, I should be in KL in less than 2 months from now.:banana:

[Blue_Sky]

[JAG2]

[hypermount]

People in the Klang Valley have 3 Little Indias to choose from. And if you can’t choose either, it’s good to know that they’re all connected by train. :D

1. Masjid India- Lebuh Ampang (Masjid Jamek LRT)
2. Brickfields (KL Sentral –LRT, KTM Komuter and Monorail)
3. Klang (Klang Station – KTM Komuter)

The little India in Klang is about 5 minutes walk from Klang Station, so it’s quite convenient if you prefer not do drive la. ;)

[argory]

Quite similar to Little India in Singapore :)

Yeah, Serangoon Road has the same kind of atmosphere. ;)

wow! very nice pics! very colorfull too :cool: i waz curious bout the Indian Muslim and Indian thingz u guys talk bout in page 1.. wats the difference between a Indian Muslim and Indian? they speak different language? or the cultures different? and u call them Mamak rite? good food! :drool:

[James Foong]

Indian muslim is a converted religion from hindu to muslim society. In street language, we called them mamak. Both are able to speak native tamil languages. :cheers:

[SEED]

oh alrite.. just bit confuse wit page 1.. Indian and Indian Muslim.. men.. suddenly i hav cravings for Roti Cenai or Chapati and a cupa chai! :drool: seems like ma stomach is havin an earthquake! anyway thx for explainin dude! :okay:

[baqthier]

Mamak is term for Malaysian Indian muslims and they have been muslims for more than a thousand years i.e long before the malays became muslims. Infact they also had some influence over the mainstream indian culture. They were the 1st to spread Islam in the Malay Peninsula, only then the Arabs. ;)

Love your pics argory! :okay:

[RafflesCity]

I love how the shophouses have been painted over in bright, cheerful colours! :happy:
