The COMPLETE History of Chennai

[@anichebhargav]

Want to clarify 2 things: 1. I made an error in including actor Vijay's photo when talking about AIA DMK. Wasn't aware of his political affiliation. 2. The Chennai region has been ruled by Tamil kings long before the British, but I only wanted to cover the modern city of Chennai/Madras in this video. There will be future videos coming on Cholas, Pallavas, Pandyas, etc!

[@R4J4N]

The first point (1) was not an error. It was just prophetical. Since the AIADMK is almost self-annihilated, it's time for Vijay's TVK to rise to the occasion.

Why are you displaying St.Andrews cathedral as St.Marys.

[@ebutu555]

Nenu telugu vadini...but I've to accpet that entire South India was called Madras Presidency with Tamil speaking folks spread across every where before linguistic state formation. After all, Telugu is a mix of Tamil and Sanskrit. Tamilnadu lost so much of land to Aandhra, Karnataka and Kerala. Just imagine how rich TN would have been if they had Tirupati, Kadappa, KGF, Bengaluru, Coorg, Palakad, etc

And where do you place those cities in medical infrastructure? Go and check which city is the medical capital of India. And which state has the highest decentralised development - developed cities other than just focusing on the state capital? Chennai is not as developed as Bengaluru and Hyderabad because other cities of TN are developed too while keeping TN as the second largest economy in the country

[@tharun541]

​@@Dharamlinga-bu2nr I agree Dravidianism should be kept in check. But these are the local parties who developed TN, rather than shit parties like Congress (except Kamarajar who is a gem) and BJP

This is not the complete history or Chennai. This video only talks about the history of Chennai from the beginning of colonialism. If you really want to talk about History of Chennai. The region and landscape, you have to go back 2000 years ago since Chola, Pandya, and Pallava period.

You're right, but I'm planning to cover the history of the Tamil Kingdoms in future videos, so I just wanted to to focus on the modern city of Chennai itself.

Is Governance means COPYCAT of Western Nations especially Britain n British ?? Q6. Is the language, ENGLISH = KNOWLEDGE or WISDOM. Few people read life and world and universe only thru the lens of English Oriented Educational Thinking. No other Dimensional Thinking. Nothing else. What kind of mindset is this.

[@prantosarathy386]

Indian constitution is borrowed from all parts of world so nothing wrong if some of the rules might sound similar to western countries , road accidents are due overspeed and careless driving not due to government, the worst thing done by government is dividing people on basis of religion and casts. Finally English is a language not wisdom

I am a Telugu guy, Chennai was orignally a pure Tamil land, Tiruvalluvar wrote the Tirukkural from Mylapore! Sangam literature mentions Vadavenkatam (Tirupati) as northern boundary of Tamilakam, later though Chennai was ruled by a Telugu Nayaka called Damarla Chennappa Nayaka, from where it got its name. To call it pure Telugu land is wrong, and to deny the recent pre-modern Telugu history of the city is also wrong!
