Resolution of the anaphoric entities in natural language text is very much essential to extract the complete information from the text. In this paper, we present a methodology to resolve one of the difficult pronouns, plural pronouns with split antecedents in Tamil.

We have evaluated our approach with Tamil novel corpus and the results are encouraging.
