The other side of the Peranakans - The Peranakan Indians 

Excellent! I recalled mum saying grandma was chitty melaka. So I was trying to explain to my racist lecturer that peranakan refers to mixed race community with the local people and does not only involved baba-nyonya but also other races like Indian, Malay, Dutch. Oh well, I was put down with a big "No, you are wrong", on my first day of class. This one is for you Mr Desmond.

Please make more of such content to educate the new generation about our traditional mix marriage. Hi my fellow peranakan, i am peranakan nyonya here. ❤️

Love it love it love it!! My father is Dutch-Indo and my mom is Thai Chinese. My dad has never stressed us with his religion. We literally grew up with different faith but same hope. Two of my sisters are Muslims and my first sis is Buddhist and I’m a Unitarian. My mom is Buddhist. Who is a lady vegetarian lady. We speak Eng, Malay, Chinese and Thai. I am proud to be a Singaporean!

Wow...thanks for the upload. 30 yrs in Spore and I have not heard of Indian peranakans...until today.

Whom we marry is none of anyone's business. Our goal is to be happy.

I didn't know Peranakan Indians existed. Now we do.

please make a video about what Malay culture was really like before the Malays takes on the extreme interpretation of Islam.. or should that be before they decide to Arabized their culture in effect killing it.. so many are now so nostalgic for the time when Malay women wore the kebaya and no headwrapping..

Pindang...it's not true that pindang does not exist in communities other than the Chetti. Pindang is a Malay dish too. In fact I think that's how it was adapted by the Chettis.

BEAUTIFUL STORY ♥️

Thanks Nathan for pushing the formation of the peranakan indian association.

Great video. Just what I needed to for my history students when talking about diversity and transnationalism in Southeast Asia. Thanks for sharing.

Chitty Melaka Are Well Known Cook. Their Curry Are Well Known Among Peranakan Chinese.

I am a mix also I do face identity crisis when relearning more about my additional indian mix from my paternal grandmother My Paternal Grandmother’s grandfather Gulam Maidin is from Tamilnad South India (Said to come from Nagore, Nagapattinam) married to a mix Indian-Malay woman who follows strong Malay culture who her Malay ancestors come from Pulau Kelapas. Gulam Maidin and his wife have many daughters and a son, the youngest daughter is my Great Grandmother Bibi Jahora Gulam Maydin, she is 75% Indian and 25% Malay but she register document herself Malay instead of rules following her Gulam Maidin Indian father. Bibi Jahora is my Paternal grandmothers mother. My Paternal Grandmother married to a Javanese Indonesian whose his parents come from Madiun, Java. giving birth to my dad, aunt and younger uncle. My Mum is from a mix Malay-Arab Father Hj Minhat bin Abu himself from a Javanese father and half Arab Malay Mother and my mum’s mother is a Nyonya Chinese.

Nice stories, waiting your visit back 💪

Can't be 5000 Indian peranakan in Singapore Maybe combine of Singapore & Malaysia Indian peranakan.

but nevertheless , they are a special identity in our community to be preserved and to be proud of.

I'm peranakan X indian. My dad is indian and my mum was peranakan X chinese. I'm not even sure what I identify as at this stage...

Nee ann poly take note ah take note

Indians married to Malays too they call Peranakan's. I agree Peranakan is not a race it a culture✌🏼😊

‘Gua’ and ‘Lu’ is how people in Jakarta speak hahaha

Let the nus lecturer watch this

gua and lu is used in jakata too

Thanks for clarifying. It i cultural practices and not race I guess. I might be wrong.

And there's me. Indian chitty and peranakan chinese mix

❤

the name 'chetties' derived from the word and name of chettiars . No doubt about it." 😅

any mixed race can connect with me.I live in Malaysia but I have links in Melaka.

i’ve watched mr ponno’s CNA interview before! i’m just a teochew-cantonese chinese, not peranakan, but i really admire what’s he’s doing to raise awareness. something weird about me: i like to wear the nyonya kebaya out 😅 people think that i’m insane since i’m only 20…

Peranakan is not a race, it is about culture. You cannot create a new race by mixing with other races. Talking about the peranakan cultural, it is nothing much left but mostly food item.

Chitty derives from the Tamil word Chettiar, an ancient caste in Tamil Nadu, India.

Sound Like Hokkien

ta muhl not ta mil

No Peranakan, they are Chinese and Malay. No Peranakan Indians, they are Indians Singaporeans.

Lol 😂 👍💪💪

Not sure what to make of these silly race/culture awareness documentaries. Can’t condition people to like each other.

They just indian not peranakan. Claiming to be persnakan what a joke 😂
