प्रश्न
Describe the social conditions that Sangam literature suggests with reference to: Position of Women
उत्तर
The joint family system characterised society. Few women got a good education, their status in society was not equal to that of men. They did not have the right to inherit property. There were ascetics also among women, following the Jain and the Buddhist tradition. The worship of Kannagi or Pattini suggests that the vow of chastity was regarded as the greatest of feminine virtues. In fact, the images of Pattini Devi were being preserved and worshiped by Tamils in their temples until very recently.
