India was under British occupation for nearly three centuries. Chennai, known earlier as Madras, was their Southern base. The city of Chennai has many prominent structures built during the colonial era. Chennai Central station is a prominent colonial era structure and it has become iconic to the city. There are other structures such as Egmore Museum building and main building of College of Engineering, Guindy built using the Indo Saracenic architecture. The art deco style can also be seen in few buildings like the EID Parrys office.
I love history but I did not know that.
Thanks Vidocka for your wonderful comments.
I did not know that India had been so long under British occupation. I like this culture.
Thanks Lacho for your wonderful comments.
This is very interesting, my friend … you know I did not know that the former Madras is the current Chennai … thanks for the explanation
Still many locals prefer calling it Madras.
I believe this too … power of habit

I have started publishing only from Oct 2018 in HubPages and Virily. I agree Virily is a lighter platform that is easy to use. HubPages is ranked well by search engines and many of my articles in their niche sites are in first page of Google search results. Traffic is picking up steadily. It might be Dec 2019 before I get my first payment. Traffic and earnings grow over time in HubPages. It is a slow and steady game there.
My HubPages account is configured to my Google Analytics. So traffic information is accurate. On page position, I use SERP tools that tell me how my specific blog ranks in search engine results for different keywords. The SERP tool is accurate and it never takes into account our browser history.
Thanks Tasartcraft. I am still learning something new everyday. Online is an exciting place to learn.
Interesting to read about this history, thank you.
Thanks Carol for your comments.
You are very welcome. 🙂
