This book is divided into three parts the first one entitled "Purananuru in its Historical Setting" throws fresh light on hitherto untapped sources of historical materials. The period it covers, popularly known as the Sangam age, is the heroic age of the Ancient Tamils. During that period there were three crowned monarchs - the Ceras, the Cholas and the Pandyas, with many subordinate chieftains, all of whom were known for their bravery in warfare and generosity to the scholars. Among the literary products of the Age the Purananuru has been acclaimed as one of the best in the world literature. The first part of this book is a scholarly analysis of the Purananuru from a historian's angle. This section, besides resolving the date of this work, throws light on the political ideas of the period as well as the socio economic conditions which moulded the character of this age.
The second part "The Structure and Functioning of the Framily (caste, totem and other communities) in the Sangam Age" is yet another analysis of the Sangam literature. This work projects to show how the situation in the Hindu and even tribal households of the sangam Age was conditioned by a number of factors like caste, Varna, community, totem, religious beliefs, pollution ideasand so forth.
The third part "The Socio Economic Structure of the Tamil Country 200 A. D. 1300 A. D." is continuation of work done in the previous two sections. This deals with the Socio Economic Condition of the Tamil Country in the post Sangam Age upto the decline and fall of a mighty Tamil Empire known as the lmperial Cholas. The author has made a thorough study of all the valuable literary socrces of this period as well as all the published and a few unpublished inscriptions in order to bring out this third part of this work.
Thus, though divided into three separate studies, the whole work is homogeneous dealing with the socio economic and cultural aspects of the Tamils right from the earliest known historical period i.e 300 B.C. upto the end of 1300 A.D.
