International Tamil

Vannakam. International Tamil Society (ITS) is one of Imperial's most illustrious and thriving societies. With award-winning sports teams, cultural talks, clubbing nights, dinner and dances, entertaining socials and more, ITS offers a plethora of activities for everyone. Every year, we take to a reputable London theatre to host our flagship event: Mega Maalai. An evening of dance, music and comedy, Mega Maalai is a celebration of worldwide Tamil culture and the global Tamil identity, from Tamil Nadu and Tamil Eelam, to Malaysia and Mauritius and beyond, as well as exhibiting the many other diverse and vibrant cultures of Imperial students! With performers from across the London university spectrum and beyond, getting involved means you will meet many new people and make many new friends. It always proves to be an unforgettable experience! The society prides itself on its commitment to raising money for worthy causes. Previously, we have raised substantial amounts for Tamil Health Organisation, the International Red Cross, the Little Things, Ocean Stars and more; this year we aspire to do the same. We also work towards increasing awareness of the issues faced our people across the world, particularly due the conflict in Sri Lanka. Finally, don't be put off if you're not Tamil - the ITS family welcomes everyone. We look forward to seeing you in October and wish you an amazing year!!
