Mullaithinai chastity in Sangam literature

Abstract

The basis for the five departments is contained in the primary department. Mullaithina songs are sung in association with the chastity of the heroine. In the cover page, there is a place where the leader’s praises are mentioned, his valor and gift, and ‘husband of a barren wife’ is added. It can also be seen that ‘imaginary’ has been emphasized to the woman when she realizes that through marriage, women are denied economic equality and sexual freedom. It can be seen that the opinions of feminist commentators and the songs of Mullaith Thani reinforce this opinion. We seek to find such a record in Tamil literature, which had the ambitious aim of emphasizing chastity at a time when caste civilization was changing from caste civilization to landed civilization. A strong doctrine of chastity is enforced in Mullaith Thani. In a possessive culture, the woman also becomes a conquered possession. That is, there is no one-to-one control in ethnic group civilization. and the formation of the family system due to the emergence of individual property in the possessive culture, and this is why so many definitions and epithets have been given about chastity. This review seeks to explain that. This research is also subjected to the search to emphasize that the attempt to strengthen the chastity with the selected person during the period of the emergence of separate property from this social system can be seen in Sangha songs.
