Notes

Chennai has slightly less Muslim population at around 10% compared to others such as Mumbai 22%, Kolkata 21%, Delhi 15%, Bengaluru 14%.

Pulianthope is an area once thought to be very sensitive for communal disharmony especially during Hindu festivals. Decades ago these were causes for communal clashes. Nowadays this Muslim ‘dominated’ area is rampant with broken marriages even when there is improvement in their educational, social and economic condition and there is low graph of crimes. Now a days people started living in harmony and brotherhood. There are no violent activities in recent years.
