The stories etched in the old strip of Dutch Cemetery is withering away as it is buried under years of negligence

DUTCH HISTORY DITCHED

THE Dutch Cemetery, located in Pulicat, a northern suburb of Chennai, stands as a silent yet deteriorating witness to centuries of history. Established in 1657 CE, this historic site bears testimony to the region's colonial past, maritime trade, and cultural exchanges.

Despite its immense historical significance, the cemetery, today, finds itself in a state of disrepair, battling neglect and the relentless effects of time.

Pulicat, once a bustling port under the Dutch East India Company, holds a prominent place in India's colonial history.
