Literature - Asia

South Indian Literature is vast and complex, and to cover every language and theme is a herculean task, beyond the scope of this academic research project. The focus shall be on Sangam literature; however, most of Sangam literature has been lost to natural disasters and time, there is a dearth of substantial research material on its development during the time of one particular dynasty. Hence, in this project we shall stick to Sangam literature and its development under the Pandyas, the establishers of Sangam culture, and the Cholas, the patrons to its development. The ultimate aim of this research paper is to explore the historical relevance of Sangam literature.
