Manimekalai, an Honest person who has conquered Desire
Get PDFAs evidenced by the multiplicity of the Tamil race, with its rich language and primitive landscape, it has many human personalities within itself. In particular, in order to organize the changing social disciplines, it not only holds on to the poets of the epic period to face external pressures and various doctrinal upheavals but also approaches them, scrutinizes them, provides new messages, and preserves the form of thought from changing. In a society that has become monocultural, a woman burns her modesty to overcome hunger. Manimekalai, the descendent of Kovalan, who had Kannagi and the ascetic Madhavi as her mothers and who considered art to be the equivalent of life, shook this monoculture on that very day itself. She was shaken by unceasing grace. This hardened and stoned society shed a lot, but it was a single culture that blossomed, ripened, became a seed, and spread. It is not only because of Manimekalai's sufferings but also because of society's unavoidable great compassion that Manimekalai is still regarded as inevitable even today. On this basis, this study is a descriptive one as it compares women's sufferings, feminist ideas, and Tamil traditions with Manimekalai, an incomparable story. Manimekalai did not stop offering motherhood to all with her eternal mercy also, with her Amudha Surabhi (a vessel that gives inexhaustible food), she removed the hunger pangs of thousands of people. People like Manimekalai do not stop with these gestures. On the contrary, the purpose of this study is to explain why she continues to be established as an exemplary woman in the land of Tamil
