Old Madras
Introduction
The word "Chennai" has been coined a couple of years ago. Till then the city was called Madras. Even today people all over use both Chennai and Madras to denote this place. This fact does not sound to be an unknown one. However when it a stranger nears a phrase live Old Madras it might seem to be a mere description of this city in olden days Old Madras reflects an entirely different picture sans the advancements, bussing activity and crowd.

Old Chennai as in art
It a stranger were to look at the picture of Old Madras contained in the art work and the city today he will be petrified to note the differences. Unless the person is well used with the locality it will be possible to convince him that the picture is representation the city in yesteryears. This applies to anybody who has not been to Chennai but sources. Even if that person had seen some pictures. Even if that person has seen some pictures or Video clippings the result that the city has been completely ruined in the name of renovation and development.

What Old Madras was all about?

It takes more than to envy the way Chennai looked and existed in the past. Before comparing the feature to what it is today it becomes important to understand the critical issues facing mankind in the name of upliftment. One need not even confirm the fact that the city offered peace, health, hygiene and happiness tot he dwellers in those days than compared with the current scenario. It is not to deny that they are absent today. Their proportion has come down and there has been a drastic increase in the income generated. Is money the only measure of development in the modern world? No doubt education & opportunities needs to be given due importance but not at a cost like this.

More dimensions
Another gaze at the picture will reveal that people led a contended life in those days unlike the city dwellers today who stand staunch examples to selfishness and spoiling natural resources for the sake of monetary benefits no pictures and writings can bring back the glory of the city as no force in the world can think of taking it back. In fact neither is it possible nor is it practical to do so. This literary piece and pictorial depiction are not merely meant to be downpour of an artist?s feelings but also to make people reflect the best can be done.
The statues we see today in many important areas will show the mastery of the craftsman and the importance given to them in those days. some of the prominent status include that of bazzar police station and Kamaraj Salai and that at and ashram Bhashyam Iyengar a senior judge in the beginning of nineteenth century near Chennai High Court Bar Council Office.

Old Madras and today

The purpose for which these statutes are being used today and the quality of construction shows the true differences between "Old Madras" and the so-called Chennai. These status have becomes resting places or shelters for indecent activities in Public Moreover we find huge building constructed with poor or no quality. In addition statues are being used as a means to gain publicity and not to show respect or dignity for the person. The people who inaugurate or commemorate statues these days have their own vested interests. These statues are being poorly maintained and it is not pure if they will exist for a long time the attitudinal differences again count for the sorting of old and new Chennai.

Another interesting fact about old Chennai is that they were the first ever-British settlement in India. Apart from majestic construction the business activities, which flourished the East India Company, encouraged the Britishers to venture more into India. Historically this place occupies lot of prominence due to the above-mentioned fact. The way the city dose it?s identify makes one wonder if they will lose the importance place in history too. This might seem to be an exaggeration but there are ample chances for them to happen in reality given the trend in the city.

Conclusion
This presentation on Madras is not meant to make people dram and aim at attaining the impossible. It is an effort to show a glimpse of the past and the direction in which we are moving and thereby make a comparative analysis.
