 ORIGIN OF CHENNAI
Chennai, originally known as Madras Patnam, was located in the
province of Tondaimandalam, an area lying between Pennar river of Nellore and the Pennar
river of Cuddalore. The capital of the province was Kancheepuram.Tondaimandalam was ruled
in the 2nd century A.D. by Tondaiman Ilam Tiraiyan, who was a representative of the Chola
family at Kanchipuram. It is believed that Ilam Tiraiyan must have subdued Kurumbas, the
original inhabitants of the region and established his rule over Tondaimandalam

Chennai also known as Madras is the capital city of the Indian state of
Tamil Nadu. Located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal, it is a major commercial,
cultural, economic and educational center in South India. It is also known as the "Cultural
Capital of South India"

The area around Chennai had been part of successive South Indian
kingdoms through centuries. The recorded history of the city began in the colonial times,
specifically with the arrival of British East India Company and the establishment of Fort St.
George in 1644. On Chennai's way to become a major naval port and presidency city by late
eighteenth century. Following the independence of India, Chennai became the capital of Tamil
Nadu and an important centre of regional politics that tended to bank on the Dravidian identity of
the populace.

According to the provisional results of 2011 census, the city had

4.68 million residents making it the sixth most populous city in India; the urban agglomeration,
which comprises the city and its suburbs, was home to approximately 8.9 million, making it the
fourth most populous metropolitan area in the country and 31st largest urban area in the world.

Chennai's economy has a broad industrial base in the automobile,

computer, technology, hardware manufacturing and healthcare sectors. As of 2012, the city is
India's second largest exporter of information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing
(BPO) services. A major part of India's automobile industry is based in and around the city thus
earning it the nickname "Detroit of India". Chennai is an important centre for Carnatic music and
hosts a large cultural event, the annual Madras Music Season, which includes performances by
hundreds of artists. The city is one of the important centres for Bharata Natyam, a classical
dance form. The Tamil film industry—colloquially known as Kollywood—is based in the city.

CHANGE OF NAME OF CHENNAI
The name Chennai is a shortened form of Chennapattanam, the name of the
town that grew around Fort St. George, which was built by the English in 1639. There are two
versions about the origin of the name Chennapattanam: according to one version,
Chennapattanam was named after the Telugu ruler Damarla Chennappa Nayakudu, Nayaka of
Kalahasthi and Vandavasi, father of Damarla Venkatadri Nayakudu, from whom the English
acquired the town in 1639. The first official use of the name Chennai is said to be in a sale
deed, dated 8 August 1639, to Francis Day of the English East India Company. According to the
second account, Chennapattanam was named after the Chenna Kesava Perumal Temple; the
word chenni in Tamil means face, and the temple was regarded as the face of the city

The city's colonial name, Madras, is believed to have been derived from
Madraspattinam, a fishing village north of Fort St. George. However, it is uncertain whether the
name 'Madraspattinam' was in use before European influence The military map makers
believed Madras was originally Mundir-raj, or abbreviatedly, Mundiraj. Other arguments suggest
that the Portuguese, who arrived in the area in the 16th century, had named the village Madre
de Deus, meaning the Mother of God. Another possibility is that the village's name came from
the prominent Madeiros family of Portuguese origin, which consecrated the Madre de Deus
Church in the Santhome locality of Chennai in 1575. Another theory concludes that the name
Madras was given to Chennapattanam after it was taken from a similarly named Christian priest
while other parties are of the opinion that it might have been taken from a fisherman by the
name of Madrasan, or from religious Muslim schools which were referred to as Madrasahs, or
the word Madhu-ras, which means honey in Tamil.

After the British gained possession of the area in the 17th century, the two
towns, Madraspattinam and Chennapattinam, were merged, and the English referred to the
united town as Madrasapattinam. The state government officially changed the name to Chennai
in 1996, at a time when many Indian cities were being renamed. However, the name Madras
continues to be commonly used for the city, as well as for places named after the city, such as
the University of Madras.

HISTORY OF CHENNAI

The region around Chennai has served as an important administrative, military,

and economic centre for many centuries. During 1st century Common Era, a poet and weaver
named Thiruvalluvar lived in the town of Mylapore (a neighbourhood of present Chennai). From
1st century Common Era until 12th Common Era the region of present Tamil Nadu and parts
of south India was ruled by the Cholas. Stone age implements have been found near
Pallavaram in Chennai.

According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Pallavaram was a

megalithic cultural establishment, and pre-historic communities resided in the settlement. The
Pallavas of Kanchi built the areas of Mahabalipuram and Pallavaram during the reign of
Mahendravarman I. They also defeated several kingdoms including the Cheras, Cholas and
Pandyas who ruled over the area before their arrival. Sculpted caves and paintings have been
identified from that period. Ancient coins dating to around 500 BC have also been unearthed
from the city and its surrounding areas. A portion of these findings belonged to the Vijayanagara
Empire, which ruled the region during the medieval period.

India and the foundation stone of Chennai.

3
 Gradually, the city grew into a major naval base and became the central
administrative center for the British in South India. With the advent of railways in India in the
19th century, the thriving urban centre was connected to other important cities such as Bombay
and Calcutta, promoting increased communication and trade with the hinterland. Madras was
the only Indian city to be attacked by the Central Powers during World War I, when an oil depot
was shelled by the German light cruiser SMS Emden on 22 September 1914, as it raided
shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean, causing disruption to shipping.

After India gained its independence in 1947, the city became the capital of
Madras State, which was renamed as Tamil Nadu in 1969. The violent agitations of 1965
against the compulsory imposition of Hindi in the state marked a major shift in the political
dynamics of the city and eventually it had a big impact on the whole state. On 26 December
2004, an Indian Ocean tsunami lashed the shores of Chennai, killing 206 people in Chennai and
permanently altering the coastline.

ENVIRONMENT OF CHENNAI

Chennai is on a flat coastal plain, as shown on this Landsat 7 map.

Chennai, sometimes referred to as the "Gateway to South India," is located

on the south–eastern coast of India in the north–eastern part of Tamil Nadu on a flat coastal
plain known as the Eastern Coastal Plains. Its average elevation is around 6.7 metres (22 ft),
and its highest point is 60 m (200 ft).

4
 Two major rivers meander through Chennai, the Cooum River (or Koovam)
through the centre and the Adyar River to the south. A third river, the Kortalaiyar, flows through
the northern fringes of the city before draining into the Bay of Bengal, at Ennore. Adyar and
Cooum rivers are heavily polluted with effluents and waste from domestic and commercial
sources. The state government periodically removes silt and pollutants from the Adyar river,
which is less polluted than the Cooum. A protected estuary on the Adyar forms a natural habitat
for several species of birds and animals. The Buckingham Canal, 4 km (2.5 mi) inland, runs
parallel to the coast, linking the two rivers. The Otteri Nullah, an east–west stream, runs through
north Chennai and meets the Buckingham Canal at Basin Bridge. Several lakes of varying size
are located on the western fringes of the city. Some areas of the city have the problem of
excess iron content in groundwater. Chennai is classified as being in Seismic Zone III, indicating
a moderate risk of damage from earthquakes.

A part of the Adyar River forms a tidal creek before joining the sea

Chennai's soil is mostly clay, shale and sandstone

Clay underlies most of the city, chiefly Manali, Kolathur, Maduravoyal, K. K.

Nagar, Semmencherry, Alapakkam, Vyasarpadi and Anna Nagar.

Sandy areas are found along the river banks and coasts, and include areas such as
Tiruvottiyur, George Town, Madhavaram, New Washermanpet, Chepauk, Mylapore, Porur,
Adyar, Besant Nagar and Uthandi. In these areas, rainwater runoff percolates quickly through
the soil.

5
 Areas having hard rock surface include Guindy, Nanganallur, Pallikaranai, Alandur,
Jaladampet, Velachery, Adambakkam and a part of Saidapet and Perungudi. The ground water
table in chennai is at 4-5m below ground in most of the areas, which was considerably improved
and maintained through the mandatory rain water harvesting system.

URBAN STRUCTURE OF CHENNAI

Chennai is divided into four broad regions: North, Central, South and West.
North Chennai is primarily an industrial area. South Chennai and West Chennai, previously
mostly residential, are fast becoming commercial, home to a growing number of information
technology firms, financial companies and call centres. The city is expanding quickly along the
Old Mahabalipuram Road and the Grand Southern Trunk Road (GST Road) in the south and
towards Ambattur, Koyambedu and Sriperumbdur in the west.

BEACHES AND PARKS OF CHENNAI

Pond at the Semmozhi Poonga

The old corporation limit of Chennai has a total coast length of about 19 km, which has
more than doubled with the expanded corporation limits. Marina Beach runs for 6 km (3.7 mi),
spanning along the shoreline of the city between the deltas of Cooum and Adyar, and is the
second longest urban beach in the world Elliot's Beach lies south of the Adyar delta.

Chennai is one of the few cities in the world that accommodates a national park, the
Guindy National Park, within its limits The city has an estimated 4.5 percent of its area under
green cover. This enables Chennai residents to go birding in Chennai. The seven zones of the

6
old corporation limits has about 260 parks, many of which suffer poor maintenance. The city has
a per capita park space of 0.41 sq m, which is the least among all metros in India. The eight
zones in the newly added areas of the city have about 265 locations that have been identified
for development of new parks. The largest among the parks is the 358-acre Tholkappia Poonga,
developed to restore the fragile ecosystem of the Adyar estuary. The horticulture department-
owned Semmozhi Poonga is an 20-acre botanical garden located in the downtown.

POLITICS OF CHENNAI
Being the capital of the Madras Province that covered a vast area of the Deccan
region, Chennai remained the centre of politics in the southern region of India during the British
era. After Independence, it remained the centre of political activities of the state of Tamil Nadu.

Chennai is the birthplace of the idea of the Indian National Congress, commonly
known as the Congress Party. Founded by Indian and British members of the Theosophical
Society movement, most notably A.O. Hume, the idea was originally conceived in a private
meeting of 17 men after a Theosophical Convention held in the city in December 1884. During
the first 50 years of the Indian National Congress, the city played host to its conferences seven
times in 1887, 1894, 1898, 1903, 1908, 1914 and 1927, becoming one of the strong bases for
the Indian independence movement. After independence, the city hosted the Congress in 1955
in its suburb of Avadi.

Chennai is also the birthplace of several regional political movements since the
British era. South Indian Welfare Association, one of the earliest regional parties, was founded
in 1916, which later came to be known as the Justice Party, which was the main opposition
party to the Indian National Congress in the state. In 1944, the party was renamed Dravidar
Kazhagam (DK) by E. V. Ramasami (popularly known as 'Periyar'). The party was a non-
political party that demanded the establishment of an independent state called Dravida Nadu.
However, due to the differences between its two leaders Periyar and C. N. Annadurai, the party
was split. Annadurai left the party to form the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). The DMK
decided to enter into politics in 1956.

Since the 19th century, when Western scholars proposed that Dravidian
languages, which dominated the southern region of India, formed a different linguistic group to
that of the Indo-Aryan languages that are predominant in the north of the subcontinent, the
7
aspects of Tamil nationalism gained prominence. This resulted in the Anti-Hindi agitations in the
city and across the state. However, the post-Independence re-organisation of Indian states
according to linguistic and ethnic basis has moderated Tamil nationalism, especially the
demand for separation from the Indian Union. The Anti-Hindi agitations in mid-1960s made the
DMK more popular and more powerful political force in the state. The agitations of the 1960s
played a crucial role in the defeat of the Tamil Nadu Congress party in the 1967 elections and
the continuing dominance of Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu politics.

ADMINISTRATION OF CHENNAI

The Ripon Building, commissioned in 1913, houses the Chennai

Corporation.

Chennai city is governed by the Chennai Corporation (formerly ―Corporation of

Madras‖), which was established in 1688. It is the oldest municipal corporation in India and the
second oldest corporation in the world.

In 2011, the jurisdiction of the Chennai Corporation was expanded from

174 km (67 sq mi) to an area of 426 km2 (164 sq mi), dividing into three regions — North,
2

South and Central, which covers 200 wards. The corporation is headed by an Indian
Administrative Service officer. The Mayor and councillors of the city are elected through a
popular vote by the residents. While the city limit was expanded to 426 km2 in 2011, the revised
population is yet to be officially announced.
8
 The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) is the nodal agency
responsible for planning and development of Chennai Metropolitan Area, which is spread over
an area of 1,189 km2 (459 sq mi) covering the Chennai district and parts of Tiruvallur and
Kanchipuram districts. The larger suburbs are governed by town municipalities, and the smaller
are governed by town councils called panchayats. Under the gamut of the CMDA are 5
parliamentary and 28 assembly constituencies. The CMDA has drafted a second Master Plan
that aims to develop satellite townships around the city. The city’s contiguous satellite towns
include Mahabalipuram in the south, Chengalpattu and Maraimalai Nagar in the southwest, and
Sriperumpudur, Arakkonam, Kanchipuram and Tiruvallur to the west.

Chennai, as the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu, houses the state executive
and legislative headquarters primarily in the Secretariat Buildings in the Fort St George campus.
The Madras High Court, is the highest judicial authority in the state, whose jurisdiction extends
across Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. Chennai has three parliamentary constituencies—Chennai
North, Chennai Central and Chennai South—and elects 14 Members of the Legislative
Assembly (MLAs) to the state legislature.

LAW AND ORDER OF CHENNAI

Madras High Court

The Greater Chennai Police is the main law enforcement agency in the city. It
consists of 170 Police stations out of which 35 and all women police stations and is headed by a
commissioner of police. The Chennai police is a division of the Tamil Nadu Police, and the
administrative control lays with the Tamil Nadu Home Ministry. Chennai City Traffic Police
9
(CCTP) is responsible for the traffic management in the city. The Metropolitan suburbs are
policed by the Chennai Metropolitan Police, and the outer district areas of CMDA are policed by
the Kanchipuram and Thiruvallur police departments.

As of 2011 (prior to the expansion of Chennai Corporation area), Chennai city

ARCHITECTURE OF CHENNAI

Parry's Corner, one of the oldest business areas of Chennai, lined up with art deco buildings.

With the history of many neighbourhoods of the city such as Mylapore and
Triplicane predating that of the city itself, the architecture of Chennai ranges in a wide
10
chronology. The oldest buildings in the city dates back to 7th and 8th centuries CE,
which include the Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore and the Parthasarathy Temple
in Triplicane build in the Dravidian architecture. This architecture style includes various
styles such as those of the Pallavas, the Cholas, and the Vijayanagara empires. The
associated Agraharam architecture, which consists of traditional row houses
surrounding a temple, can still be seen in these areas. The heritage temples at
Mamallapuram at the outskirts of the city are some of the examples of the Pallava
architecture.

The Chepauk Palace in the city, designed by Paul Benfield, is said to be the first Indo-
Saracenic building in India. Since then, many of the colonial-era buildings in the city were
designed in this style of architecture, which is most apparent around the Fort St. George built in
1640. Most of these were designed by English architects Robert Fellowes Chisholm and Henry
Irwin. The best examples of this style include the Madras High Court (built in 1892), Southern
Railway headquarters, Ripon Building, Government Museum, Senate House of the University of
Madras, Amir Mahal, Bharat Insurance Building, Victoria Public Hall and the College of
Engineering. The residential architecture in the city was based on the bungalow or the
continuous row house prototypes. Gothic revival style buildings include the Chennai Central and
Chennai Egmore railway stations. The Santhome Church, which is originally built by the
Portuguese in 1523 and is believed to house the remains of the apostle St. Thomas, was rebuilt
in 1893 in neo-Gothic style. By the early 20th century, the art deco too made its entry upon the
city's urban landscape. From 1930s onwards, many buildings in George Town were built in this
style, including the United India building (presently housing LIC) and the Burma Shell building
(presently the Chennai House), both built in the 1930s, and the Dare House, built in 1940. Other
examples include the Bombay Mutual building (presently housing LIC) and the South Indian
Chamber of Commerce building.

After Independence, the city witnessed a rise in the Modernism style of architecture. The
completion of the LIC Building in 1959, the tallest building in the country at that time, marked the
transition from lime-and-brick construction to concrete columns in the region. The presence of
the weather radar at the Chennai Port, however, prohibited the construction of buildings taller
than 60 m around a radius of 10 km. In addition, the floor-area ratio (FAR) in the central
business district is also 1.5, much less than that of smaller cities of the country. This resulted in

11
the city expanding horizontally, unlike other metropolitan cities where vertical growth is
prominent. On the contrary, the peripheral regions, especially on the southern and south-
western sides, are experiencing vertical growth with the construction of buildings up to 50 floors.

Banking

Chennai is home to the first European-style banking system in India with the

of the first commercial banks, such as the Bank of Hindustan and the General Bank of India,
which were established in 1770 and 1786, respectively. However, the bank proved a failure.
Upon the recommendation of the British Finance Committee on the formation of a government
bank, the Madras Bank, then known as the 'Government Bank', started functioning again from
1806. In 1843, the bank merged with the Carnatic Bank (1788), the British Bank of Madras

18
(1795) and the Asiatic Bank (1804) and became the Bank of Madras, which was one of the
three Presidency banks of India, the other two being the Bank of Bengal and the Bank of
Bombay. In 1921, the three Presidency banks merged to form the Imperial Bank of India, which
