A Biographical History of the Panars, Working Class People of Kurunthokai

Abstract

All the languages that have appeared in the world are born after which it got better. But the truth is that our Tamil language was born better. Sangam Literature, Classical Literature, includes Patthuppaatu (Ten Idylls) and Etthutthokai (Eight Anthologies). Earth can be said to be fundamental in the reasons for a group's gradual cultural development. In such a case, in Kurunthokai, a part of Ettutthokai, the characteristics that are appropriate to Marutham land, a pretend love quarrel, and the association with the hustlers are found in Marutham thinai songs. This article examines how the Panars, who were considered by the society of that time to be lower class people and ignoble caste, were crushed for having participated greatly in doing their duties. Their cultural structure, which was based on caste, and their economic status were dependent on others forever. As a result, they lived in poverty and supplication. For the sake of material things, they were able to give material things to the Panars, who were the lower class people, to do the work they desired. The Panars were crushed on many levels. They were considered despicable and deserving of ridicule by all for doing lowly jobs and being instrumental in sorting out the issues in the love quarrel between the husband and wife. Despite their eloquence, intelligence, and sophisticated intellect, their society is said to be a casteless society, but this study has tried to explain the fact that the lower castes were secretly humiliated, the tasks given to them, the work they did, and the society that tried to develop by ignoring them.
