A Correct answer
Explanation

Sangam classics were written in Tamil, the oldest of the Dravidian languages with a continuous literary tradition spanning over two millennia. The Sangam literature (3rd century BCE to 3rd century CE) represents the earliest major corpus of Tamil poetry and is divided into two major classifications: aham (love/interior) and puram (war/exterior) poetry. These works provide valuable insights into ancient Tamil society, culture, polity, and everyday life during the Sangam period.
