Culture in Mullaipaatu

Abstract

Writer Thomas Carlyle notes that literature is born out of life, it reflects life and guides life. Researchers such as Rene welleck and Austen refer language as related to the imagination and the cultural treasury of a particular language-speaking people. A refinement that fits all such interpretations can be found in Sangam literature. This is because the Sangam literature is not a figment of imagination. The literary works of Sangam era are the true incidents that took place during that era. Many scholars have been and are still doing research from various angles about Sangam literature. These are repositories of ideas that stimulate new thinking time after time.
