Sanga Kaalathil Pengalin Nilayum Pangalippum

Abstract

Sangam literature stands as a body of works that highlights the greatness and uniqueness of the Tamil language as well as the lifestyle of Tamil society. The moral values and cultural principles followed by the people of the Sangam period continue to serve as guiding models for contemporary society, leading the way toward social and human development. These literary works embody the lofty thoughts of hundreds of learned poets and possess a richness and depth of language that astonish linguists. This study extensively examines women’s education, knowledge, valor, mental strength, leadership qualities, hospitality, and the virtues that women should attain in the future, as reflected during the distinguished Sangam period.
