Why is Sangam literature important for early South Indian history?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It gives information about society, love, war and trade
Sangam poems contain descriptions of landscapes, occupations, kings, warfare, love, generosity, trade and social relationships in the early Tamil region. They are therefore valuable literary evidence, although poets’ conventions and praise require critical reading. Sangam literature does not decipher the Indus script and is neither a Mauryan tax rule nor a Gupta inscription. Thus, option A is correct.
