Abstract
History and Culture of the Early People of Tamilnadu of India
India is one of the highly civilized countries of the world. People have been living here in groups each possessing a history and culture of their own over a long period of time.
In the southern peninsular India, one group of extraordinarily civilized people has been and continues to be living. Their civilization is age old. They speak a language called Tamil which is one of the oldest languages of the world. Their culture appears to have originally belonged to the Indus Valley culture. Here it is proposed to delineate the history and culture of this Tamil-speaking people from their literary works called the Sangam literature and on archaeological evidences dated between 300 B.C. and 300 A.D.
