Citation quoting Prof. Hart is itself not a correct link. So practically a forged citation
Quote of Prof.Hart: ''..legend of the [[Tamil Sangams]] or literary assemblies: was based on the [[Tamil Jain]] sangham at [[Madurai]]:
<blockquote>There was a permanent Jaina assembly called a Sangha established about 604 A.D. in Madurai.'' '''''It seems likely that''''' ''this assembly was the model upon which tradition fabricated the cangkam legend."''
"It seems likely..." ---a grotesque guess in itself. Without proof of suggested fabrication --- FABRICATION is a ver serious very casual idea. There is only one approximate mention of a jain sanga in 6th century. But there is volumes of literatures, with authorship, references, in Agaporulurai, quoting Nakkeerar's discourse, though dates are expansive, 100s of poets are infact mentioned as authors of verses of Sangam literature.
That too based only on the similar sounding words --- Sangam (literature) and Sangham (of Jains),
Need to provide solid evidence that both these words denote the same before proceeding with the Hart suggestion.
When a Tamil word exists as i had edited - Sivi and Sanga meaning high idea of using this native Tamil word Sanga to analyse the name of a Tamil literary concept is more apt and logically acceptable than considering a pali word sangam
