Latchmie Kumarie Vainmati Kallicharran (லட்சுமி குமாரி வான்மதி காளீச்சரன்) (5 June 1951 – 20 January 2002) was a writer who was born in Guyana. She was one of the pioneers of Indo-Guyanese cultural awareness. Her use of radio and television for cultural promotion was innovative. She also organized and presented cultural programmes, the first being Lalla-Rookh. She staged her first show in the early 1970s when there was considerable resistance within the ruling PNC to regard Indo-Guyanese culture as being truly Guyanese.
