Discovery of Madras in South India since the year 2000, and it's past. An important, fast-growing metropolis, now called Chennai, growing from the end of the colonial period in 1947.

The book describes a peaceful southern neighborhood with Internet shops, good food stores, and a great beach, the daily lives of residents, and their famous Indian marriages. In the 18th century Madras was very important to Europe as the central point of the Southern 'Deccan'. The Portuguese came first, followed by the Dutch, then the British and French who fought many bloody battles. In modern times the world comes to Madras to sign IT contracts.
