Everyone knows that there are various places in Chennai. How did they get their name? Do you know how many villages have disappeared caught in the octopus arms of the capital?
Every town in Tamil Nadu has something special. But Chennai is the best city in Tamil Nadu. Because this is Tamil Nadu, a small village. It is enough to say that Chennai is a little Indian because women from other states also live there.
Whether those who come to Chennai from many cities for various reasons…or those who stay there…Chennai has always been a special city. Irrespective of educational and economic status, one can live happily in Chennai. You can eat toast for money, fly a kite and drive for a long time. If you are ready to work, feel free to come to Chennai. There is no dearth of work here… Not a single hut has been burnt due to caste riots. Such a unique town.
What is the matter now? Many people in Chennai do not know the name of their place.
There are many people who think that if they go to Kindi, they will play a round in Kathippara Bridge. They say that the name of the knife came to this place because the military went to the parade with knives and guns. ‘Para’-na means bandhopastunu. There are also some sayings that this name is because the military was engaged in bandopus work with a knife.
In the same way, the place where Nungu was grown became Nungambakkam, and the place where Syedu did business became Syedu Pettaya and then Saidapettai.
As there were many horse carriages, the place called ‘Kodo Pak’ changed to Kodambakkam. ‘Kodo Pak’-na means horse stable in Urdu language. It is said that Thannampet, which had a lot of coconut trees, became Thenampetin in the past, Mylapur, the place where peacocks flew, Perampur, where there was a lot of bamboo forest, and the place where there were many poovarasa trees became Purasaipakkam and then became Purasaivakkam.
Let these name reasons be one side. Some of the important places in Chennai today were beautiful villages in those days. Many villages like Vannarappet, Kolathur, Puliantoppu, Thiruvottiyur, Ennore, Nanganallur are covered by Chennai MAP.
Chennai has always been a super lion despite its many problems due to overpopulation.
