Amuthe Tamile
“Amuthe Tamile”—meaning, “O Sweet Tamil”—was made for the occasion of Mother Languages Day. At the heart of the piece is the Karthigaipoo or fire lily, which is the state flower of both Tamil Nadu as well as Tamil Eelam. During the struggle for Eelam independence, it came to represent the resilience of the Tamil people in the face of genocide.
