The Vembaukum or Vembakkam[i] family were one of the two preeminent Brahmin dynasties in the Madras Presidency, dominating the Mylapore clique[1] alongside the Calamur clan, and 'possess(ing) an enormous presence in the... bureaucracy of the capital and its surrounding district(s)',[2] whose historical presence began in the 1820s,[3] with the sprawling clan famously having begun holding yearly family conferences by the 1890s to preserve their dynastic unity, political cohesion and influence, and wealth.[4]
