Studies on Malaysian Indian Concerns and Sustainable Development Goals

The conference scheduled for 28–29 November 2026 aims to serve as a key platform for scholarly engagement, critical reflection, and forward-looking discussions on issues affecting the Malaysian Indian community and broader sustainable development. Featuring around 20 paper presentations, it will bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, community leaders, and emerging scholars, supported by five pre-conference webinars held between July and November 2026 to build momentum and deepen discourse. The conference emphasizes analytical, solution-oriented, and contemporary contributions that go beyond descriptive analysis, encouraging participants to propose practical models, policy ideas, and innovative frameworks for progress. While grounded in the reference document on Political and Thought Leaders, papers should connect past scholarship with present realities and future implications, revisiting earlier insights to generate actionable ideas that promote reform, resilience, inclusion, and sustainable change.
