  1. When India became independent in 1947, Madras Presidency became Madras State, comprising Tamil Nadu, coastal Andhra Pradesh, northern Kerala, and the southwest coast of Karnataka.

    Tamil Nadu was formerly part of the Madras Presidency of British India, which also included parts of present-day Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala. Upon India's independence, Madras Presidency became Madras state; in 1953, the Telugu-speaking northeastern part of the state became the new state of Andhra Pradesh, and Bellary district became part of Mysore state. In 1956, the state acquired its present borders when the western portion of Madras state, on the Arabian Sea, was divided between Mysore state (later Karnataka) and the new state of Kerala. In August 1968 Madras state was re-named Tamil Nadu. State politics continue to have a focus on protecting and celebrating the Tamil (and Dravidian) language and culture.


  2. Madras State was the former name of the present day state of Tamil Nadu, India. When India became independent in 1947, Madras Presidency, a province of British India, was reconstituted as Madras State, consisting of Tamil Nadu and parts of present day Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.

    It was subsequently split up along linguistic lines in 1953. Under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, the States of Kerala and Mysore were carved out of the Madras state. In August 1968, Madras State was renamed as Tamil Nadu.

  3.
