    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 12 December 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Trade and Industrial status of Tamil Nadu from Sangam Age to Paligar rule Dr. S. SWAMINATHAN Assistant Professor, Department of History, Thiruvalluvar Govt Arts College, Rasipuram, Namakkal Dt., Tamil Nadu - 637 401. ABSTRACT The present study narrates the history of political, social and economic history of Tamil Nadu from Sangam age to Paligar rule. Archaeological evidences shows that the ancient Tamil dynasties trade contacts with South Asian and European countries. The popular handicrafts of the Sangam period like weaving, metal works and carpentry, ship building and, making of ornaments using beads, stones and ivory were commodities of internal and external trade. The port city of Puhar became an emporium of foreign trade, as big ships entered this port with precious goods. Other ports of commercial activity include Tondi, Musiri, Korkai, Arikkamedu and Marakkanam. More than 2500 years ago Tamil kingdoms had carried out an extensive trade with the West. External trade had been revived during the period of Pallavas. The foreign merchants were known as Nanadesi. Mamallapuram, Vasavasamudram and Mylapore were the important seaports of the Pallavas. Rapid changes in the political situation of the rest of India occurred due to incursions of Muslim armies from the northwest and the decline of the three ancient dynasties during the 14th century, the Tamil country became part of the Vijayanagara Empire. The greatest of the Maratha rulers was Serfoji II (1798– 1832). Serfoji devoted his life to the pursuit of culture and Thanjavur became renowned as a seat of learning.

It is being brought back to e-book format in memory of Prof.C.S.Srinivasachari by VenuGopalaswamy Educational Trust ( VGET ) – Hosur , Tamilnadu, India in 2011 The great Vijayanagar empire existed in full vigour for the best part of three centuries from its foundation in 1336 A.D. It was the chief instrument for the preservation of the political independence from Muslim aggression and for the natural and unfettered development of South Indian culture in all its phases. The greatness of the kingdom can easily be gauged from the magnificence and wealth of its capital, the city of Vijayanagar, which is testified to by the travellers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the ruins of which even now excite our admiration by their grandeur and extensiveness. This empire and its wealth of output remained totally unknown till about half a century ago. Since then the researches of scholars have brought forth a wonderful harvest of history which is attempted to be reflected in a small compass in this booklet. Dewan Bahadur Professor C. S.
