Subramaniam Nadarajah (died in 1988) was a Sri Lankan Tamil lawyer, politician and member of the Senate of Ceylon.
Known as "Pottar" Nadarajah, he was one of the pioneers of All Ceylon Tamil Congress.[1] He was one of the organisers of the 1961 satyagraha led by the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (Federal Party).[2] He was a member of the Senate of Ceylon from 1965 to 1971.[1]
In 1981 Nadarajah became the first and only chairman of the Jaffna District Development Council.[3][4] He resigned in 1983, stating that he didn't even have the power to "purchase table and chairs" for the council.[5][6]
Nadarajah was shot dead on 12 February 1988, aged 72.[1] It's alleged that he was assassinated by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam for associating with the Indian Peace Keeping Force.[1]
