Abstract
Living together is a primary feature of ethnic group life. The Sangam period shows us about remnants of tribal life through literature. Traces of this tribal life abound in the Kurinji and Mullai land forms. The food production obtained in these lands are by hunting, food gathering and by doing simple agriculture and it was shared among the people. This act of sharing has been a moral act of unifying ethnic group lifestyles and one of the fundamental factors in building community bonds. This is most vividly displayed in the kurinji and Mullai thinai songs of Sangam literature. This article examines all these things in detail.
