Description

The glory of combining ancient Tamil civilization and culture with nature and turning it into literature belongs to the Tamils of the Sanga period. Bravery depends on physical strength and mental strength. Women are responsible for men gaining physical strength and mental strength. Sanga literature portrays women as heroic women who sacrifice their family for their country regardless of their future. The study shows that women say that the man who marries her should be brave and strong enough to subdue bulls. In order to honor the heroism of the kings and soldiers who performed heroic deeds, the sepulchral stone is taken and that war memorial headstone is worshiped as a deity. The valor of the Tamils in the Sangam period can be seen in Purananuru, Agananuru, Porunaratruppadai, Kalithokai that the Tamils were seen as brave.
