This is the first essay on Bharatava people to be ethnographically oriented. Literature is an important document to know the history of the people. All the ancient literature was in the form of Seyul. After the arrival of the westerners, especially after the 18th century, the traditional yapu methods were changed in Tamil literature and literature like short story, novel and drama appeared. Among these, the short story and novel are fictional. Although these can be created in imagination, they are central to people's lives. In that way, by conducting a study with ethnographic elements on the newly created wave bank that reflects the life of the particular race, the geography, time environment, inherited cultural changes and contemporary problems of the Bharatava people can be found and the study results can be shown to the society.
