MADRAS CITY:
The Madras city has taken a place in the history after the construction of St. George Fort by Britisher during AD1656. Before that Pallavas who ruled the north part of Tamilnadu during 4th 5th Century had their capital in Pallavapuram (Pallavaram). Mayilai (Mylapore), Purasai (Pursaiwalkam), Killiyur (Kellys) were the oldest ancient villages, which was clubbed together by Britisher and made as the present Madras City.
After the construction of Sea Port in Madras, the traders from the all over world travelled to Madras for business purposes. The present Portughese Church Street, Armenian Street were named based on the respective overseas traders business outlets.
BUSINESS:
Ilayangudians visited Madras during 18th and 19th Century to reach Burma and Malaya. The overseas business people were forced to have an inhouse outlet in Madras to support the overseas business in Burma and Malaya. Thus the Ilayangudians established the business houses in Madras. In Harbour Area, the warehouses (Rev) were controlled by Ilayangudians till the establishment of Madras Port Trust Authority.
MIGRATION:
After the seperation of Burma during 1935, all the business people returned to India and established wholesale business in food grains, groceries etc. in Madras. The migration started since then, to support the earning member, families were shifted to Madras slowly.
Also, some wealthy people shifted to Madras to have better educational facilities for their children. The initial settlement of Ilayangudians were concentrated primarily in Madras-1 area such as in Harbour, Mannady and Kothaval Chavadi. As the business gets diversified into textiles, leather, cosmetics, consumer products etc., the settlement spreaded into other areas like Purasaiwalkam, Periyamet, Pudupet, Chrompet, Nungambakam etc. Still a large number of Ilayangudians live in Madras-1 area.
MOSQUE:
During early 90's Ilayangudians in Mannady area established a mosque in Mootaikaran Street, Off-Angappa Naikkan Street to offer prayers for Ilyangudians of that area.
ASSOCIATION:
There were no proper association or organisation to take care the needs of Ilayangudians in Madras. Only during 2000, few society oriented people like Suliyankachi. Sultan, Poelaikattai. Abdul Rasheed, Thenmalaikhan. Shajahan and Aurengasheep were started a ILAYANGUDI NALVALVU SANGAM in Madras.
Presently there is no major objectives for this Association except to create an opportunity for Ilayangudians to meet weekly once, in Don Bosco School Ground. The school ground was rented by the association to play Football on Sundays.
This association released an Address Diary for Ilayangudians in Madras, which was appreciated by every one. Also, President of this Association Janab. Sultan takes the resposibility of informing Ilayangudians Death News over phone to all Ilayangudians in Madras.
