Ín ancient Tamil nadu the ideas and govt.policies even moral eternal philosopher were taught to common man through pommalattam..is.,dances of doll..it's very easy to attract both young and old wether illiterate or literate to understand and obsorbs ideas ..enviromental uses.religious stories.,political. events..battle fields..victories of the king's ..defeats of enemies..policies of local governments..similarly the therukoothu..streets artists dramas..very rarely nowadays are found in rural areas..govt..should take the initiatives to protect these artists. The Hindu is always deserves its due credits because of its wonderful and hard working team of media persons of higher calibre..
