S. P. Thamilchelvan
(1967 - 2007)
 
Always smiling face -
A mind that sets ablaze opposition!
 
Young, young, yet a heart of
Himalayan strength, strength!
 
A commander seasoned in the line
of the old lion Balasingam
 
The virtuous youth whom with determination
offered himself to the War for Rights -
his soul hasn't gone extinguished
he hasn't gone brotherless
 
A beloved son who wrote his fame
all over the earth, wherever Tamils live -
where have you gone?

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view

We need your support in keeping our journalism going. Support our work today.
