This section talks about Bharathidasan’s views on the glorious bygone days of Tamilnadu. The Sangam Age is remembered for its glory and excellence in all spheres of life.

The authority of Tamil Kings once reached, even the Himalayas. Extending their boundaries across the ocean, they captured Lanka and Kadaram and brought them under their suzerainty.

The soil of Tamilnadu was as rich and fertile as its rulers were brave and valiant. The land was divided into four kinds and the people there lived in harmony with Nature.

The ancient Tamil culture marked by heroism and love for Nature has gradually lost its lustre. The decline and deterioration have mainly been due to their subjugation to foreign rule. Bharathidasan suggests ways and means to redeem the culture to its past glory.
