and by the states of Kerala to the west,

Karnataka (formerly Mysore) to the northwest, and Andhra Pradesh to the north. nclosed by!amil "adu alon# the north$central coast are the encla%es of  Puducherry and Karaikal, both of

which are &art of Puducherry union territory. !he ca&ital is 'hennai (Madras), on the coast in the

northeastern &ortion of the state.

!amil "adu re&resents the !amil$s&eakin# area of what was formerly the Madras Presidency of

ritish India. !he !amils are es&ecially &roud of their ra%idian lan#ua#e and culture, and they

ha%e notably resisted attem&ts by the central #o%ernment to make *indi (an Indo$Aryan

lan#ua#e) the sole national lan#ua#e. +hile it has an industrial core in 'hennai, the state is

essentially a#ricultural. Area -,/0 s1uare miles (/2-,-3 s1uare km). Po&. (-//) 4,/23,53.

The traditions and culture of Maharashtra is rich and the people of the state follow a very simple

lifestyle and they always feel that only hard-work will give them success. The Marathis do not believe

in lavish lifestyles the way the Rajputs of Rajasthan or the Nawabs of Lucknow believed in. ou will not

find lavish spacious palaces in the state because of the fact that people of Maharashtra prefer hard

work to leisure. They followed a hard lifestyle and dedicated themselves in the freedom struggle. The

people of Maharashtra believe in brother-hood and this feeling can be seen in all parts of the state.

!eople coming from all the religious beliefs live in one community and do not differentiate between

themselves. Maharashtra is a state where saints like "aji #li$ %sho and &ai 'aba taught people the

importance of peace and prosperity. ou will get a clear picture of the lifestyle and nature of the

people once you start interacting with them.
