Mr. Ramaswami, I have a doubt. You say that the Tamils and Dravidians of today were the original people of the Indus Valley and were pushed southwards after the mythical "Aryan invasion" took place. These people who were pushed southwards are now the inhabitants of south India or more specifically, the Tamil Nadu. Does it not follow then that: 1. The claim that Tamils are indigenous to India/Tamil Nadu is false? Here are the relevant lines from your article: "...the Aryans who displaced the then flourishing Indus Valley civilization and pushed it south to become the Dravidian culture." According to the Aryan Invasion Hypothesis, shouldnt Dravidians be foreigners to Tamil Nadu as their original land was the Indus Valley? Shouldnt Dravidian culture also be foreign to Tamil Nadu as it originated in the Indus Valley and not somewhere on the Kaveri? 2. So, if Dravidians and Dravidian culture are not indigenous to India, then what is the big difference between Dravidians and Aryans, who are also - supposedly - outsiders according to the Aryan Invasion Hypothesis? What do you say? Dont you also realize that ultimately, all humans everywhere are foreigners because the first Homo Sapiens originated in Africa and then migrated to inhabit most other lands? Why do you and your ilk make such a big fuss about people being indigenous or foreigners? If people should be vilified on the basis of their historical origin, then Tamils should be the first to be kicked out of India! Please, broaden your horizons and you will realize that there is much more to the world than narrow concerns about these people being foreigners and those people being indigenous! You seem like a middle aged person. It is a sad commentary on conditions these days that a young adult like me has to speak a few words of wisdom to calm a hot blooded agitated middle aged man with a fancy theory that is objective enough only for drawing room conversations - than the other way around. I take pity!
