Chennai History

• To overcome the lack of literature and non-elite perspective on the history of Chennai.

• To foster a better understanding of the past and how it has shaped the city's current socio-economic and political landscape.

• To support the work of highly respected historians who will lead the initiative and deepen our understanding of the city's history.

• To preserve the city's rich cultural heritage and provide a foundation for future generations to build upon.

The project team, in collaboration with Krea University, will hold Annual conference for showcasing their research on Chennai's History. During the conference, they will reveal a collection of essays written by various researchers on the socio-economic and political history of Chennai. Following the conference, the essays will be published in various formats such as books, podcasts, and events, among others. This ongoing conference will provide opportunities for interaction and engagement between the researchers, the public, and other stakeholders.

The goal of the conference and subsequent publication of the research is to spread the findings of the research and make it widely accessible to the public, historians, and other interested parties. By hosting this conference and publishing the research, the project team and Krea University aim to keep the public informed and engaged with their ongoing work. This conference plays an essential role in the initiative, ensuring that the research is widely known and accessible to all.
