    3. Dear Mr.Kerry, All the best wishes in your search. This is not to discourage you but just to let you know about what I came to know from authentic and credible sources : you may find the attitude of the TamilNadu Archives to be lethargic and their response not forthcoming. -- regards Ramanathan On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Kerry Edwards <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Ramanathan, > > thank you for your email and links....I wonder if the Tamil Nadu Archives > would have any further details about the Asylum and its inhabitants? > Perhaps > I should write to them and ask. > > Kind Regards > > Kerry > > IF FORWARDING MY EMAILS PLEASE REMOVE ALL ATTACHED EMAIL ADDRESSES > > > On 2 April 2010 18:11, Ramanathan Muthaiah <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Dear Mr.Kerry, > > > > Yes, a Lunatic Asylum was started in Kilpauk (a locality in Chennai) in > the > > nineteenth century.

    3. Dear Mr Ramanathan, thank you for that advice - yes I did get some information from them many years ago and it did take a long time. I tried to go there myself to research but one has to go through a rigmarole of getting permission from the Australian High Commission in Delhi etc etc....big headache...why? when I am a born Hyderabadi anyway and now an Aussie Citizen. I guess if one knows someone in there it may be easier.
