He was first exposed to the world of radio about fifty years ago when he saw the children's show "Siruvar Malar." He went on to work in the radio sector permanently and was given this honor. We find it hard to imagine that this traditional Tamil pronunciation originates in Colombo. In the Tematakoda neighborhood of Colombo 09, on April 11, 1949, Bawa Hasan of South India was born to Asia Umma of Sri Lanka. In his well-known novel Vanalayalil Oru Laippokan, he states that because of the differences in Tamil, "Dematta Koda" should have been "Themala Koda." According to his definition, the term had to exist because the area was home to a community of Tamil immigrants from India.
This area of his birth he used to call the 'Gift of Tamils'. All of these demonstrate PH Abdul Hameed's love to Tamil. He is now well-known throughout the world thanks to that Tamil. The son of a local impoverished slum, PH Abdul Hameed attended a nearby Tamil school, took part in school plays and debates, and became interested in radio. Serving in the Muslim Service in Drama, Drama, and Educational Service, as well as the National Service Children's Flower, Youth Forum, Drama, Drama, etc., turned him into a young home worker. He provided an explanation for his mother's pain by doing this.
It matters when he started working as an announcer for Vaneli. Renowned announcer SK Pararajasingham served as his coach. Many people nowadays believe that when they take up the microphone in various radio stations, they would make excellent broadcasters.
At that time, young people were taught to perform their duties by penning grammatical mistakes and reading them twice to understand the verses' structure and content. Additionally, they utilized to read the meeting by exerting pressure where it was required. They also gave people the want to look up information and have it available to them. They have given up a lot in exchange for all of this. Their residence is the library. They will always be remembered as exceptional announcers because to this training.
Muslims from Eelam have contributed significantly to Tamil culture. Specifically, numerous instances of this significance can be demonstrated at the literary level. In a similar vein, PH Abdul Hameed is renowned for having made a significant impact on the broadcast sector. He is a powerful example of our ownership of Tamil. Without Eelam, it would be impossible to write about his flexibility.
The radio medium is a guest in every home. You can listen to the radio at any time, not only at home but also when traveling and at sea.
Both laypeople and the educated have a lot of love for it. Young men and women, young and old, were drawn to it. Because of this, PH Abdul Hameed became known as an announcer who drew in listeners of all ages and genders. He was actually Tamil's greatest witness. That contribution—testimony—can be referred to in a variety of ways.
His radio play "Oru Veedu Koilakiradu" helped him gain fame. Even well-known South Indian artists have expressed interest in his theater and voice. Producing Baa plays like "Quil Patu," "Devane Un Ghol," "Romeo Juliet," "Yalpadi," and others helped B. H. Abdul Hameed achieve fame.

In addition, he has made contributions to the cinema business by helming dramas such as "Anichamalar" and "Komalikal Kondatham." He has conducted interviews with well-known Indian performers on behalf of Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation, greatly advancing our understanding of theater and cinema. In a similar vein, his impact on the Tamil music scene is noteworthy.
At a time when only Tamil movie songs were occupying the radio, he also introduced melodious songs and gained a lot of popularity among the people. He introduced the event under the name of 'Meliban Kavikural'. He created a system of singing that reinvented the musical form that had been an oral literature. Pararajasingham was very cooperative in organizing the event. The songs 'Arisip Pothiyodu Vandiro Thangam', 'Kinnipol Chandrarum Toghukil Partha Suriyarum', 'Thennai Maratup Palaikkulle Rendu Thera Thani Mulikidubar' were broadcasted first in the program of the day. This historical record was known only to B.H. Hence his contribution is important. Prof. Sivathambi would refer to PH Abdul Hameed who has done this work better than any other radio artist in Tamil. Shows like Navrasak Kowai, Isaiyani Exam, Yes or No Show, Asia's Seven Questions, Aruna's Six Questions, Music Kolam are all proofs of his presentation knowledge.
