- "The southern metropolis of #Chennai remains an enigma. Conservative, yet progressive. Home to orthodoxy and a pioneer in equality. Leading in healthcare and yet a suicide capital. An education hub and centre of cinema. What makes Chennai tick?"
Sriram V is an entrepreneur, historian, #heritage activist and author. He is the editor of the popular fortnightly newspaper, '#Madras Musings'. His most recent book is 'Chennai, A Biography'.

never knew history could be taught this easy. wish i had sriram as my history teacher during my school days
We think so too. :)
As usual enthralling speech by Mr.Sriram.
Great Mr. Sriram
Another land marks Theosophical Society, IIT and many more missed out. Time is too short to elaborate more. Kudos to you Sriram to bring the best picture of Chennai in a nut shell. Your narration is mesmerising.. 😊
Wonderful Sir 🎉
Fantastic sir 👍
Always a delight to hear him with detailing 🌻
Quite delightful presentation on the growth of Madras city - interesting & educative. It is a tough job to cover the whole gamut of Chennai city' s history since its early inception in a given time. Some details are new to me and I never ran into them before. I wish you' d made a brief note on the father of Tamil cinema director K.Subramanium & pioneers like AVM & S.S. Vasan. Anyway, your talk is quite useful for history buffs & others.
Amazing history and historian. Hats off for your wonderful service to the human race. ❤ I started respecting history a lot now a days after listening to your videos.
I’m a proud Chennaiite but after listening to your lecture, I can affirm that I’m a prouder Madrasi! Contrary to the stereotypes associated with ‘Madrasi’, this was an eye opener for me to understand the rich history of namma Madras/Chennai. ❤
History with Sriram is always interesting
Amazing
Fascinating and very nice of you on how you are explaining the content very interesting.
Sir hats off to you.
Great Mr. Sriram.
How come Mr Sriram completely omitted to talk about CHENNAI CRICKET...WHICH HAS PRODUCED GREAT STARS LIKE VENKAT,VV KUMar,Kripal Singh and qorld cup winner Srikanth
Why is St Thomas is referred as a "LEGEND" even after so much of evidence available in the city?
Royapuram railway station (station code: RPM) is a railway station at Royapuram, on the Chennai Beach-Walajapet section of the Chennai Suburban Railway network in Chennai, India. It is the second oldest railway station currently operational in India after Howrah railway station situated in Howrah, West Bengal (the original structures of the two older stations, Bombay and Thane, are no longer operational) and the first railway station of South India. The first train of South India started operating in June 1856 from Royapuram railway station. The station also remained the headquarters of the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway till 1922, when the headquarters was shifted to Egmore. Since the original structures of Bombay and Thane stations no longer exist, Royapuram station remains the oldest railway station in the entire subcontinent.
Fine.But intentionally omitted kalaignar who was the hero for equality,social justice,and leberty in the second part of twenteeth century and in the begining of current century.
Otherwise fine narration about Chennai
Shree Sriram VenkataKrishnan you are wrong with your information regarding #Royapuram is the oldest railway station building the first platform Building of #Thane then #Tannah is the oldest dated #1853CE. Kindly correct your hyping regarding "#ALL_HAPPENED_FIRST_IN_MADRAS"
Around 26:12 he clearly mentions that Royapuram is the oldest railway station today because the older stations have been demolished. He didn't say it is the first station.
@@vivisilas #Thane then #Tannah is the oldest dated #1853CE Still SURVIVES. Iam from mumbai. I AM TELLING IT CLEARLY
@@drramakrishnansundaramkalp6070
It had been remade several times.
@@hawkingdawking4572 The original Structure is still intact in 1st platform of Thane moreover Royapuram has undergone demolishion of First Floor WHICH WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING then how is it considered to be ROYAPURAM ORIGINAL BUILDING ANYMORE
Listen carefully sir. He did not say that the royapuram railway station is the oldest station. He stated that it was the oldest existing railway station in India. There is lot of difference between oldest and oldest surviving
While presenting history and mentioning about some specific areas should not omit some main personalities on personal ground.
Madras was founded by The DMK , he missed this important point.
