After our excellent fun in January, at the High Commission for India in London, we now have part 2 coming up this week, where Mr Raja, the organiser of the Pongal festival, is coming to tell us more about Tamil culture.

This all came about through the “Croydon Tamil Sangam”, who organised this year’s event in London. We should get on the guest invite list for ongoing Croydon Tamil fun.

The “London Tamil Sangam” was established 1936, close but just younger than Copse. Over the years, in my work in India, I have learned more about Tamil Culture, which is not so well known outside of the Indian Community, but in fact very much alive and well in good old Croydon, home of the COPSE.

Expect that we will get some combination of music, dancing, costume, stories and more in the hall.
