Is it true that Telugu people lived in and around Tamil Nadu?
Yes. You can find Telugu people around 5% living in Tamil Nadu and Tamil people living in Telugu regions.
There are historic reasons behind it amd they are living together for over 7 centuries.
Earlier there was a Madras State, where majority of Tamil and Telugu regions were together
- till 1956 and
- earlier during British regime from 1810-
- even much earlier during Vijayanagara Empire from 1373.
Vijayanagara Empire ruled Tamil regions with their feudatory kingdoms in Madurai, Tanjore, Chenji, Chandragiri, Vellore from 1373 till 1735. Rulers were of Telugu ancestry.
