Panar Society and Migration Theory on the Day the Land Blossomed

Abstract

A man who lived a nomadic life later learned to live permanently in one place. He set up his abode in the fertile areas of those places and established a stable life. There were changes in his thinking in the settled area. Many literatures emerged through various exchanges of ideas. Literary exchanges have taken place in Tamil and Malayalam, which are considered to be the twin children of Dravidian languages. In that way, Sangha literature is still proclaiming the antiquity of Tamil. Focusing on such special and unique Sangha literary messages, Manojkurur has created a new literature in Malayalam language called Nilam Bhuthu Melaranda Naan, which is considered as a literary genre that is loved by everyone nowadays. This work has been translated into Tamil by Jayashree, who is considered to be the best translator in modern times. This work is entirely centered on the life of Panars. Exploring the lifestyles of people like Kolumban, Seerai, Chitrai, Maylan etc. belonging to Panar community, and knowing the hardships they face in the context of Panar meeting various kings and Vallals for a day's food. Due to poverty, Kolumban goes to Ezhimalai area and the situation where Kolumban is killed by his son Mylan due to political intrigues of the Panars who are engaged in gambling shows the disgrace of the Panar community. The purpose of this article is to study how poverty creates a killing environment in human society and how economic conditions change one's living conditions. By studying in this way, Panar society can be understood very subtly.
