Occupations and Relationships in Sangam Literature

Abstract

If you clap with a single hand, there will be no sound and a single tree will not be a grove. Similarly, personal life is not special. The people of the Sangam age lived in groups with their relatives. It can also be seen that there have been close relatives like neighbours. A home and a country without a family structure through relationships are equal to a boat without a fin. The relations that take place in grammar and literature are the chief man, chief woman, birth mother, foster mother, father, chief woman’s friend (girl), chief man’s friend (Man), son, daughter, younger ones, elderly people, etc., can be known. The way of life of our ancestors depends on the land in which they live, we are able to understand the customs, culture, and etiquette through the structure of the family. The family structure has passed through two thousand years. Mother-paternal relationships naturally take place when a man is born. Both men and women form relationships through marriage. Relationships originated through the family. The number of relationships expanded with the children he had. So, the family expanded. But today's human society forgets relationships and moves towards the economy, losing relationships. The purpose of this article is to examine the professions in relationships that may find a place in the literature about human society elevated by relationships.
