Abstract

Sangam literature emphasizes not only love, war, valor and gift but also humanity. Sangam poets were intelligent, thoughtful and humane. During the Sangam era, the clans were based on the occupation of the people. Tamil society accordingly changed due to the needs and environment, and the land and occupation of the people through social development. Any learned pattern of behavior that is sustained by some recognized system can be said to be part of culture. Anthropological culture includes all the customs, traditions, institutions of people, products, and their methods of occupation. The purpose of this article is to analyze the life elements of such Tamil ethnic community with the help of Purananuru.
