New Memoir “From Political Prisoner to UN Advocate” Releases April 11, 2025
T. Kumar’s life reads like a movie script—gripping, courageous, and deeply inspiring. In his memoir From Political Prisoner to UN Advocate, Kumar charts his path from a young Tamil activist in Sri Lanka to a respected global human rights leader in Washington, D.C.
Imprisoned for over five years for his activism, Kumar didn’t just survive—he transformed. Behind bars, he studied law and became an Attorney-at-Law, setting the foundation for a lifelong mission: defending the voiceless and standing up for justice.
His journey took him from exile to lecturing future U.S. diplomats, working with Amnesty International USA, and even monitoring elections with President Jimmy Carter. Through every twist and turn, Kumar lived by a simple motto: go with the flow.
This powerful memoir is more than just a personal story—it’s a call to action and a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
“From Political Prisoner to UN Advocate” is available in hardcover from April 11, 2025.
