Dravidians is the Founder of India & Hinduism or Dravidianism (known as Hindusthan /

Dravidiansthan) !!!
Some people claim that the Dravadians originally inhabited the Northern part of India and were
later pushed to the southern part of the country by the Aryans. Hence about 28% of Indians are
Dravidians and reside in South India with one of the Dravadian languages as their main
language, which includes, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Tulu. The Dravidian language
has three subgroups, namely North Dravidian, Central Dravidian and South Dravidian. In present
day India, the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are the significant
regions with a Dravidian population, the rest 72% are Aryans, residing in North India.The
difference in the origin of these languages is the reason of the different South and North Indian
accents. We know very little about the Dravidian people in India, who used to reside in the
country before the Aryans invaded Northern India from Iran and Southern Russia.
It is believed by some linguists that the Dravidian people were well spread all across the Indian
sub continent and it is because of this that the Indus Valley civilization (Harappa and Mohenjo
Daro) is also referred to as a Dravidian civilization, but whether the Indus Valley civilization is
Dravidian or not is still controversial.
Dravidian people residing in present day Central India are tribal people known as Gond people,
Kannadigaru Dravidians are from Karnataka, northern Kerala and southern Maharashtra, and
northwest Tamil Nadu, Kondha Dravidians are from eastern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and
Orissa, Kodavas Dravidian people from Karnataka and northern Kerala. Then there are Kurukh,
Malayali, Tamil, Telugus and Tuluvas people who belong to Dravidians in India.
Dravidians were actually peace loving farmers and they were not trained in any kind of warfare. It
is believed that when the Aryans invaded India, they pushed the Dravidians to the Southern part,
as the Aryans were skilled fighters and came prepared with weapons and chariots. Also
Dravidians, had a very sophisticated culture and used to worship all forms of life like herbs, and
plants. With the coming of the Aryans, the concept of heaven and God came into existence which
dramatically changed society.
Not much is known about the Dravidians, so only archaeological and linguistic studies are the
main source of information about them. Dravidian people have dark complexion, dark black hair
and eyes and large foreheads. Because of structural similarities, it is also believed that
Dravidians has an African origin. As per this anthropological and genetic data, these people
migrated from Africa and reached South India via the southern route about 50,000 years ago.
Because of rivers and fertile soil they stayed in India in large numbers, than other parts of world.
But there are many theories and studies that explain the origin of Dravidians, their link to Africa,
Aryan invasion and Dravidians migration to South India. But all the theories state the fact that
Dravidians were a very classy and skilled race of people.
