In primitive society, people migrated from one place to another, either individually or in ethnic groups, due to herding, hunting, and natural disasters. Subsequently, while immigration continued in the Sangam period, the kappiyam period, and the Bhakthi period, the background of migration over time began to intensify due to poverty, ethnic strife, and political crises. From the novel 'Kadavucheetu' by the expatriate Tamil novelist V. Jeevakumaran that contemporary emigration is very painful and has caused many losses in life. The study identifies the biological problems faced by Tamils who fled their homeland to Sri Lanka, lost their ties, lost their possessions and fled to Denmark as refugees, and their multiple losses, as shown in the passport novel.
