Abstract

Tholkappiyam is one of the fundamental reasons why the Tamil language stands high today. Tholkappiyam, the oldest, most unique, and the older books that originated in Tamil are the foremost of all the rare books of Tamil. There are so many messages in Tholkappiyam that it can be said that there are no principles that are not there. Tholkappiyam allows us to study contemporary linguistics and talk about literature. The fact that Tholkappiyam also accommodates various literary principles such as Pillai Tamil, folk literature, drama, travel literature, geographical theories, morphology, aesthetics, sociology, science, botany, etc., speaks volumes about the importance of Tholkappiyam to the world. Is there a version of feminist news within the Tholkappiyam? Tolkappian lovers may think that it is wrong to see that. However, Tholkappiyam's uniqueness is that tholkappiyam gives space to carry out research using modern theory. The fact that the fields of study in Tholkappiyam are incalculable is perfectly clear, as a hill in a plain. This article also explores whether the rights of the women who lived in the time of the Tolkappians have been taken away and how should women understand the Tolkappian text. It is certain that this article will look at the methods in which women's rights are recorded in the Tholkappiyam and their cause from the point of view of women.
