Government of IndiaTraditional Tamil drama and the present impasse
Author: Subramanyam, Ka Naa
Keywords: Tamil drama
Tamil literature
Issue Date: 1967
Publisher: Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi
Description: Tamil language exist only for the last century and a half, though there is evidence that there existed a Tamil theatre of sorts, at least from the I0th century onwards. The normal division of Tamil literature into three classes-iyol, natural or poetic, isai, the musical, and natakam, the dramatic, seems to date from a somewhat older division, though the dramatic in this context seems to derive from the definition of dance as drama.
