The NAGARATHAR SANGAM OF NORTH AMERICA ("NSNA") is a non-profit, charitable, non-political, tax-exempt community-based organization that was founded in 1976 to foster cohesive understanding and cooperation between Nagarathars in North America.
The main objectives of this organization are to:
Since its inception the organization has been able to uphold its objectives through its wide spectrum of activities. New initiatives recognize the long-standing generational growth of the Nagarathar community and serves to foster cross-cultural appreciation and understanding with other communities and organizations with similar objectives in North America.
Contributions to NSNA are exempt from United States federal income tax under Section 501 (C) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
I am honored to be leading the NSNA for its next chapter in 2023 and 2024. As we look forward, we as a community must focus on striving for greater inclusivity (youth and gender diversity in leadership) while maintaining the values that have made Nagarathar culture so robust and integrity-centered in prior centuries. In doing so, we will prioritize elevating global Nagarathar charitable causes and providing a broader forum for dialogue, especially focused on our youth who represent the future. What follows are a few highlights of initiatives that we have set forth for the next two years

They have been trading with Southeast Asia since the heyday of the Chola empire, but in the 19th Century they migrated to countries throughout Southeast Asia.
