Abstract

Literature is powerful. Literature has the power to change the history of the world. Literature is the indestructible wealth of the people of the Sangam age. The Sangam literature is divided into two parts, Akatthinai and Puratthinai. The principle of thinai belongs only to Tamils. There is no principle of Thinai in any language of the world's languages. The word ‘Thinai’ should be divided into Thin +ai. The word 'thin' means moral strength means and 'i' denotes having it. All five kinds of land were stepping stones to human progress. The bodies and minds of the early men were firmly established. Little by little, they learned many professions and progressed. Although social life and the economy have improved in today's time, the study of land resources in the ten principles of life is of special importance. This study also reveals how in the Sangam literature, both men and women, worked and lived happily through five kinds of lands. Agriculture was done well in the lands. At that time, they also knew the techniques for protecting crops from wild animals. The main reason why the people of the Sangam age live with morality is the spirit of God. They celebrated many festivals during that period. The unity of the people also improved. The purpose of this study is to know the significance of Sangam literature from the smallest to the greatest in today's society.
