It has to be stressed here that so far no historian or Tamil scholar has ever made any attempt to compile and study the poems that describe the people belonging to the Mallar community. Hence, their nature, organisation and impact on others had not been understood properly. It is hoped that this book will fill up that gap and will estimate and establish the status enjoyed by the Mallas in the ancient Tamil society. Moreover, it will serve as a motivation for other interested scholars who would like to pursue their studies on similar lines. However, it has to be mentioned here that the literary references cited here regarding the Mallas are not to be considered as exhaustive. It is only a sample survey. An exhaustive study undertaken in the future could yield strong evidences to prove the objectives of the present work.
