The World Tamil Historical Society (WTHS) plays a major role in keeping the Tamil identity alive for the Tamil people across the globe. With the Tamil community spread across different countries, it is convenient to forget our cultural heritage. WTHS helps in preserving the Tamil culture using various initiatives.

Initiatives by WTHS

One of the most significant ways through which they carry on their mission is by having cultural events. Events are carried forward on the days of festivals and important days in the Tamil Eelam calendar. For example, Pongal, Christmas and Mullivaaikaal Remembrance Day are celebrated. These events enable individuals to connect with the Tamil community.

Regardless of the place they are situated in, WTHS provides the opportunity to take part in the cultural events. It is a way of proving that events can not only be remembered but also actively participated in. WTHS is a mode of bridging the gap between Tamil people and their culture in foreign lands.

In addition to the cultural events, WTHS offers language programs. Through these programs Tamil language is taught and recalled in the minds of the Tamil people. Language programs enable the new generation who are not raised in our regional spaces to keep the Tamil language alive. It not only helps in communication but also in understanding the Tamil literature and its history.

Additionally, WTHS helps provide assistance for new immigrants. It is quite challenging to shift to a new country. With external factors such as language barriers, unfamiliarity with the new community and culture can easily result in isolation. WTHS offers guidance. Great help is rendered in finding communities with similar backgrounds for familiarity.

This way, new immigrants are offered assistance to stay connected to the Tamil community. WTHS paves a way for Tamils to stay connected to each other easily. It is certain that no matter where they are scattered, they can stay connected to the Tamil community.
