Abstract
Tamil is the oldest. The Sangam literature provides a grammatical framework for recording the living traditions and sentiments of the people who spoke the ancient language as literature. This is not only an ancient book but also a mirror that depicts the life of the ancient Tamil people. Religion and God did not come and sit among the Tamil people during the Sangam period. It was during the Middle Ages that these entered. However, they did not determine the lives of the Tamil people. In the course of history, we can feel that these have entered not only Tamil society but all societies with the appearance of classes in history. Sangam literature is the golden literature of the life of a Tamilian. It is the duty of all of us to pass on to the next generation the treasure trove of literature, the treasure of culture, and the mine of history, which lies in the old Tamil manuscripts. The Sangam literature spelled out the concepts of education, self-respect, denial of caste, communism, etc.
