Aminjikarai
Aminjikarai (originally Amaindhakarai) is one of the oldest localities in Chennai. It is ranked 3 rd among the top places to live in India and ranked 4th in the world . The arterial Poonamallee High Road (NH 4) runs through it. Aminjikarai was annexed to Madras District in the year 1946, and Arumbakkam and Anna Nagar were carved out of Aminjikarai in the '50s and '70s. The Nelson Manickam Road that traverses through Aminjikarai is an important commercial road in Chennai city. ==History== A delta formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river Cooum towards its journey to the Bay of Bengal is called Amainda Karai ''(which means shaped/formed/created land in Tamil)'' and later on Aminjikarai colloquially. According to another version, the name derived from the word ''amanjutal'', which means 'free community service'. Probably, at some stage, the banks of Cooum at this point (at Amanjikarai) should have broken, and the local people should have offered free community service in rebuilding the banks (karai) of the river.〔Rao Sahib C S Srinivasachari.
