Social Structure in Asara Kovai

Abstract

The main purpose of moral literature is to state the virtues that are considered essential to human life. The general nature of the scriptures is to dictate to do these things and to forbid them to do these things. Through such texts one can not only know the concepts, but also the social, cultural and civilization that was in the case at the time the texts arose. In this way one can know the morals necessary for daily life and understand the social structure that was in vogue in the context of that time through Asarakovai, one of the eleven books. The status of social elites, including the aristocracy of society, the so-called lower castes, kings, and women. The relevant structures are recorded in the Asarakovai. It is also possible to realize that such social conditions were the case before the time of Asarakova. Knowing the social structures in the ancient tamil literature will help us to know the way of life of the ancient tamilians and to realize that they continue in today's life
