Madras Presidency

Situated in the south eastern corner of the Indian sub-continent, it is a gateway to Dravidian heartland where the entire South India more or less came under the administrative control of the then Madras Presidency after Independence.

Over the course of reorganisation of Indian states, the Telugu speaking region out of Madras Presidency was carved out to form a new state of Andhra Pradesh in 1953. Further in 1956, portions of Madras were given away to the new state of Kerala and Mysore division was attached to Karnataka due to their linguistic affinity.

The British coinage of Madras Presidency was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1968. The state was rocked by anti-Hindi stir and series of protests, agitations against the Centre’s move to impose the national language here with strident demand for renaming the state as “Land of Tamils” – Tamil Nadu.

With the fear of political agitations and mass movements going out of hand, the Centre gave permission to rename the state as Tamil Nadu after much hesitation.

Ever since the Dravidian parties (DK, DMK and AIADMK, their offshoots) came to the political centre stage, there is always a dichotomy between the Centre and state with latter not willing to be just a rubber stamp to the many controversial decisions being taken in Delhi for the sake of national unity.
