The demand for the name Madras Province has been active since the separation of the states of Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh on linguistic grounds from the State of Madras.

Periyar, Sankaralinganar, M.P. Sivagnanam, C.N. Annathurai continued to talk about this.

Bhupesh Gupta, a Communist Party of India member from West Bengal, has also filed a bill in Parliament.
