Sangam poets

Sangam poets were ancient Tamil writers from southern India, active around 200 BCE to 300 CE. They composed poetry that celebrated love, war, ethics, and daily life, often composed in a refined literary style. Their works, collected in Sangam literature, offer valuable insights into the culture, society, and history of early Tamil civilization. These poets played a key role in shaping Tamil language and identity, blending artistic expression with social commentary, and their poetry remains a cornerstone of Tamil heritage today.
