Abstract

Global environmental pollution and climate change are moving towards human extinction. Only when nature is out of balance and reacts, human realise their mistakes. Before that, they have done the work of destroying the nature voluntarily for their selfish and luxurious life. Now-a-days moving towards a solution only when a problem arises has become a reality. The tremendous development of technology, mechanization, proliferation of factories, sewage, pollution of land, water, air, air, dumping of mechanical waste in the sea, privatization of mountains, forests, land and water, displacement of people for urbanization, lack of understanding of water management are spread around man like a poison. Today's society, where humans are alienated from nature, has started to have a healthy conversation about the environment. Environmental analysis was created in the context of creating great awareness through art and literature. Have contemporary artists expressed such an ecological vision in their work? There is a question. In Sangam literary songs ecological vision can be seen imbued in the creators. In particular, this article examines the ecological perspective of Okur Masatiyar.
