Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study was aimed to discover the historical background of the Malaysian Tamil folk songs, to analyse the trauma and to evaluate the impacts of the trauma experienced by the  Tamil labourers during the British colonisation in Malaya as reflected in the Malaysian Tamil folk  songs. Qualitative approaches with historical, descriptive and explanatory designs were used for  this study. A total of 146 Malaysian Tamil folk songs that met the research objectives were  analysed. Historical trauma theory and thematic analysis were used to collect information from the  folk songs. Data were analysed using narrative and discourse analysis. Narrative analysis describes  the content of the folk songs while discourse analysis explains the usage of terms and words used  in the folk songs that can be related to the emotions and trauma. The findings showed that physical  abuse, economic destruction and segregation were the significant traumas experienced by the Tamil  labourers during the British colonisation. The result also showed that physical, social and  psychological impacts affected the Tamil labourers significantly. As a conclusion, Malaysian Tamil  folk songs exposed the suffering, frustration and the shattered hopes of the Tamil labourers during  the British colonisation. The study implicates that the Malaysian Tamil folk songs serve as a  historical documentation of the Tamil labourers in Malaya during the British colonisation.
