Abstract

Tamil has now been accepted as the supreme classical language by the Government of India. Considering that we are happy and praising ourselves. But at the same time, only few people know that the original source of Tamil language is Sangam literature, which has given the status of a supreme classical language to Tamil language. Questions arise whether we are clear with the various dimensions of Sangam literature and the different platforms they operate on. Sangam literature written by many writers and Valluvar's Thirukkural guides man to live a good life in this world. There are many moral ideas in these books. Among them educational wealth and material wealth are the basis of individual and social development. Sangam literature emphasizes that all these qualities should be attained by every human being.
