Brigadier Balraj (born Balasegaram Kandiah) was a senior commander of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). He is widely regarded as the finest field commander the LTTE ever had, due to his role in spearheading several successful military operations on the frontlines against both the Sri Lankan Army and Indian Peace Keeping Force, despite being overwhelmed numerically and logistically.
