much so that it became the summer capital of the then vast Madras presidency,
or the present Tamil Nadu State, which consisted of 75% of what we call
South India today. Soon, Indian princes or Maharajas (who were the ruler
of various areas and territories throughout India and industrialists built
their palaces and mansions. The first inhabitants of this land were a
tribe called Todas who had been living here long before the British came
in the early nineteenth century. But the credit for modernising Udhagamandalam
and making it accessible goes to the British who constructed the first
railway line in the area and made it the summer capital of the Madras
Presidency. Todas antedated all explorers to the Nilgiris by a great margin
of time. Mr. John Sullivan discovered Ooty in 1820. He built a permanent
