Abstract
During Sangam period there were land lords who holds the rank next to Vendars. These lords pay tax to Vendars and they themselves participated in politics and served as army chiefs to the Vendars in times of war. Minor parts of the lands owned by Chera, Chola and Pandyas were ruled by these land lords and they opposed them and kept the areas under their control. Land lords like Kosar came fromm the northern part of Tamilnadu. This kind of sociological approach has greatly contributed to social history of Tamil and especially about the ancient history. The most famous among land lords is Kadaiyaelu Vallalgal.
