		The last Sangam ended around the 2nd century CE with the invasion of Kalabras from the north.

		The Madurai Thamil Sangam was established by Pandithurai Thevar in 1901 with the assistance of his cousin Bhaskara Sethupathy, who was the Raja of Ramnad at that time.

		Thevar’s desire to establish the Sangam was also linked to the traditional role of the Maravar and Kallar kings and chieftains of Tamil Nadu as the patrons of Tamil poets and pundits, despite the powerful inroads made by Sanskrit over the centuries.

		These brief inscriptions are thus seen to bear testimony to the support commanded from all classes of the laity by the ascetics who pursued their spiritual life in the solitudes of mountains and forests.
		It is rather strange that Sastri places more importance on the literary evidences of Sangam poets of later date than on the inscriptions and underestimates the inscriptions and expresses uncertainty on the clear cut proofs.
		Around the beginning of Christian Era, the Buddhists cults were the only cults in vogue in South India and the area concerned was a predominantly Buddhist area, therefore it is more logical that this cult started in Vengadam was a Buddhist cult.

		And the social system of mass consumption, mass production of that era, which has been called Fordism by a lot of intellectuals--actually, mostly Marxist intellectuals, but hey, why not, it's a good term--was a big part of the way America led the world after World War II.

		Indeed, the Sangam works refer to the Cheras, but the Cheras lived east of the Western Ghats on the plains between the Pandyas in the south and the Cholas in the north.

		Not one star appeared in southern cinema in the era in which he dominated Tamil films with the late M G Ramachandran, who remained unaffected by his stylish portrayals in films as varied as Padikkatha Medhai, Baga Pirivinai, Thillana Mohanambal, Vietnam Veedu and a whole slew of others.
		For an entire generation of Tamil movie-goers, Sivaji's portrayal of an advocate in Gowravam was their own image of a lawyer, and his characterisation of Superintendent of Police Chowdhury in Thanga Pathakkam became a role model for aspiring young police officers.
