Poet and the Head of the LTTE’s Arts & Cultural Division, Puthuvai Rathnathurai

Poet and the Head of the LTTE’s Arts & Cultural Division, Puthuvai Rathnathurai is a well-known personality amidst Eelam Tamils. Countless Eelam songs have been penned by him including that of our National Flag. As mentioned by Rathnathurai, the Tamils’ struggle as established under the LTTE saw a revival of symbols representing the Tamils’ distinct identity and history – a crucial factor of building a collective psyche. Furthermore, his unwavering remark that Tamil Eelam had been established when the National Leader of Tamil Eelam had commenced the armed struggle, is in itself a motivating factor which can be pursued to further our struggle for liberation.
