TAMIL LITERATURE

                                                    TAMIL  LITERATURE




 Introduction 

                                   As we've seen, Tamil culture dates back at least three centuries before the Common Era (AD (CE)). Tamil traders and sailors created commercial and cultural linkages across the seas, as did merchants from other countries.Visits to the Tamil region were also made by other countries. The resulting cultural and commercial activities, as well as internal developments, resulted in the region's urbanisation. Towns and ports arose as a result of this process. The first coins and banknotes were issued. Documents were created in writing. In order to write Tamil, the Tamil-Brahmi script was adopted. Tamil poems from the past have been written.


 1  Classical Tamil literature 

                                                  1 Tholkappiyam

                                   The earliest written book on Tamil grammar, Tholkappiyam, is attributed to Tholkappiyar. The third section of Tholkappiyam explores poetic norms that provide information about Tamil social life in addition to elaborating on grammar standards.

                                   Pathupaattu (ten Idylls) and Ettuthogai are two of Pathinen Melkanakku's works (the eight anthologies). Among the classical Ta

mil texts, these are the oldest. Pathinen Kilkanakku's texts are from a later period.
                                              
                              2 Pathupattu or ten Idylls collection includes ten long songs 

                                                        (1) Thirumurugatrupadai  (2) Porunaratrupadai (3) Perumpanatruppadai (4) Sirupanatrupadai (5) Mullaipaattu (6) Nedunalvaadai (7) Maduraikanchi (8) Kurinjipaattu (9) Pattinappaalai 

                                                    3 The Ettuthogai or the eight anthologies are 

                                                    (1) Nattrinai  (2) Kurunthogai (3) Paripaadal  (4) Pathittrupathu                              (5) Aingurunuru  (6) Kalithogai (7) Akanaanuru  (8) Puranaanuru


                                 4 Pathinen Kilkanakku (18 minor works) 

                                              The Pathinen Kilkanakku is a collection of eighteen texts about ethics and morals. Thirukkural, created by Thiruvalluvar, is the most famous of these works. Thirukkural addresses morality, statecraft, and love in 1330 couplets.

                                        5 The Five Epics 

                      The epics or Kappiyams are long narrative poem of very high quality. They are, (1) Silappathikaaram (2) Manimekalai  (3) Seevaka Chinthamani  (4) Valaiyapathi (5) Kundalakesi


Conclusiom

                              Primary production, exchange, and social relationships in the landscapes, as well as mercantile activity across the oceans, resulted in urbanisation and cultural development, setting the path for the development of literature during this time period.
