Abstract
Forest and surrounding areas are called ‘Mullai’. This is an elevated land suitable for cattle rearing occupation of the ‘Mullai’ people. Ancient Tamil society represents the life styles of many ethnic groups. The five land regions represent one ethnic group each. The ‘Mullai’ ethnic group people are called ‘ Idaiyars’. The vestiges of the ‘Mullai’ idaiyar people through ages until today have reflections in the society. This article tries to study the life style of the ‘mullai’ ethnic group through Sangam poetry.
