The issue of statelessness among Malaysian Indians is deeply entrenched in historical migration patterns and contemporary legal challenges. This paper examines the intricate history of Indian migration to Malaysia, particularly emphasizing the indentured and kangani systems that facilitated the arrival of Tamil workers to the plantations. The lack of birth registration, inadequate documentation, and bureaucratic hurdles have rendered many descendants of these workers stateless following independence. Despite the principles of jus soli and jus sanguinis underpinning Malaysian citizenship laws, these laws have not sufficiently addressed the problem of statelessness. Consequently, stateless Indians face significant disadvantages, experiencing poverty and marginalization while struggling to access education, healthcare, and formal employment. It is imperative to protect human rights and provide stateless individuals with pathways to citizenship through comprehensive legal reforms, including enhanced birth registration systems. Malaysia can move towards a more equitable society by fostering inclusivity and addressing the root causes of statelessness.
