INDIA Tamil Nadu 2005

India Tamil Nadu, the land of the Tamils is the southern-most India state of Tamil Nadu is bordered by Puducherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.India Tamil Nadu has had continuous human habitation since pre-historic times. Its long India history and Indian cultural traditions are among the oldest in India and the world. The ancient Indian Tamil kingdoms of Chera, Chola, Pallava and Pandya are of very ancient origins. They patronised a mature India culture which produced some of the oldest surviving Indian literature in India.Colonised by the East India Company, India Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the India Madras State was created in 1956 based on India linguistic boundaries. The name of the Madras State was changed to Tamil Nadu in the year 1969. The politics of India Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, who are of the Indian Dravidian movement which agitated demanding concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of India Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the Indian southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the India Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Annamalai Hills, and Palakkad on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Indian Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of India Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar, and Vaigai, and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally a manufacturing Indian state, Tamil Nadu is also a leading producer of agricultural products.The sixth most populous state in the Indian Union, Tamil Nadu has the largest Indian urban agglomeration nationwide. Increases in literacy have caused India Tamil Nadu to report the second lowest growth in population in India for the last decade. Globalisation brought increased export opportunities, making India Tamil Nadu the fifth largest economy among the states of India. In spite of all these TN has the most number of HIV positives in India declared in 2007.The growing demands for skilled labour have caused the increased number of educational institutions in India Tamil Nadu. It has the highest number of vocational training institutions in India. India Chennai, which was known until 1996 as Madras, is the fourth largest city of India and the state capital. Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirapalli, Salem and Tirunelveli are other large cities (Corporations) of India Tamil Nadu (Tamilnadu).The art and culture of Tamils in Tamilnadu are among the oldest in India and the world. Great literature, music, Tamilnadu dance and architecture have evolved from India Tamil Nadu over the past two millennia. India Tamil Nadu provided the cradle in which the rich musical tradition of India Carnatic music evolved. Many of the great composers such as Tyagaraja lived and flourished in India Tamil Nadu.India Tamilnadu

Man, Henk. You are making me jeolous!! Hey, the main page is awesome. If you happen to swing by Saigon by mid-August, be sure to mail me, I could show you around. I will need more time to view your shots one by one, and hope to learn for them. Have fun!

Eldar Kadymov		05-Jul-2005 20:58
Simply majestic gallery, one of the best of India I ever saw !

Guest		23-Jun-2005 18:26
Stunning collection of images documenting life in India. An outstanding collection of compositions, use of light, and vibrant colors...this really is a fantastic gallery...very well done!

Kylie		22-Jun-2005 12:44
The images are stunning. I particularly love the use of light and the intimate but not intrusive close up portraits.

Guest		20-Jun-2005 16:02
Beautiful, Henk, just beautiful. I think that when you group your pictures in this fashion like on PBase (as opposed to TE) they have much more power. One picture speaks to another and another and another...it's like a chain (or a Bollywood film if you will) that guides us (the viewers) from the first to the last frame. I'm not going to say anything about your composition (you know how good it is) plus the simple fact that the shots ooze pure emotion. I'm just going to sit back with a cup of coffee (or tea if it's late) and enjoy your images, one by one, time and time again. Thanks, Henk, for bringing India and its people a little closer to home. Cheers, mate!

Ramesh Lalwani		04-May-2005 07:16
Your india 2005 collection is fantastic.I have been watching you throgh Trek Earth but I have not seen many of photos before perhaps it may be due to limit of one photo per day.As mentioned earlier in my comments,you are showing Madurai and Tamil nadu to world throug your beautiful photos. Ramesh
