Kanyakumari and about Palakkad between Tamilians and Malayalees. The
Malayalee claim arose primarily because Kanya Kumari was under the rule of
Travancore Maharaja and Madras State's claim was because majority of
inhabitants were Tamil speaking. Similarly Palakkad was with Madras State
prior to 1956 with majority of Malayalam speaking people (with a good
percentage of tamil speaking people) and the State reorganization committee
rightly apportioned the territory according to the linguistic formula.   It
ceased to be a dispute long long ago. Kerala has not claimed Kanyakumari
after the State Reorganization Act became effective just as Madras State did
not grumble about Palakkad.

There are river water disputes between Kerala and Tamilnadu but no
territorial disputes.
