Abstract

Pattinapalai in Pathuppatu reveals the dynamical change of Tamil cultural life, the way in which ethnographic group life is shattered and the life of hunger develops, and the transformation of performing artists. Although the valour and glory of the king form the theme of Pattinapalai, when it is re-read, different lessons emerge. In this, it can be observed that social changes are taking place based on domestic and public lives, and the Aryan community penetrating into Tamil brought about changes in the thinking of the local ethnic groups and changed the cultural lifestyle. In this study, the issues raised in Pattinpalai are approached from an alternative perspective. This article focuses on the race, land, politics, and lifestyle of the people who lived during the Sangam period.
