Uh, Dravidians ARE closely related to Africans and Australians. This is supported by the fact that a migration wave of humans related to modern Australians moving through India: ]

This, which shows heavy genetic admixture from Australoid groups throughout India, more and more prevalent the farther south you go: http://members.tripod.com/%7Etanmoy/bengal/races.html

Yes, I know the last two links are from an afro-centric historian site, but the Australoid/African admixture in India is undeniable. It's different from afrocentric crackpots grabbing at straws over the facial features of Egyptian statues or saying Aristotle stole from Alexandria, or that Beethoven was half-black. This is real and should be included.

== A small mistake in the article ==
==Views from Pakistan and Bangladesh==
I have read official documentations (such as tourist advertisement in Newsweek by the Government of B'desh) that claims the people of Bangaldesh are Dravidian although they speak Indo-Aryan lanaguage. Pakistani websites claiming that the substratum of all Pakistani languages are Dravidian and thus they are not Aryan but Dravidian. These have to incorporated as part of the '''Political ramifications''' section.

I doubt that the recently added reference ''Khan, Hayat. Differences between Pakistanis and Indians. 2006. August 26, 2006. http://www.geocities.com/pak_history/differences.html'' is of significance. An essay on a GeoCities homepage? Looks like a bad joke. Also, is it intended to be a reference for what classical anthropologists did in the past or a reference for an assumed fact? --] 14:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Merge Proposal ==

== Text suggested by ] ==

(moved from article page by ] <font color = "blue"><sup>]</sup></font> 14:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC))

There could be some logic to this. As in the tamil (the oldest dravidian language)tongue, the word for homeland is 'Ur'. Ur was the first city of the world in the Middle East region. Other aspect, perhaps by the sea expeditions of the South Indian Kings, is the remarkable cultural similiarities between the people of East Asia and South Indians.

== This page is a joke. There is no such thing as a Dravidian ==

I cant believe there are still people who think there are people who call themselves Dravidian.....THe term Dravidian is a racist term made up by Euorpeans....In India nooooobody calls themself Dravidian.....I live in America and ive never met one person from south India who says there Dravidian.....I dont know anyone that takes pride in saying there Dravidian......And a big chunk of people dont even know what a Dravidian means!......Dont u people get it by now!....Its 2006!.....The Aryan invasion theory is a joke.....ANd the label of Dravidian is a joke to!.....Brrrrrrrruah Punjab India! ] 22:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

----
Dravidian is a classification for a family of aboriginal ethnic groups throughout the Indian Sub-continent from Pakistan all the way down to Sri Lanka. Just like the term Oriental was used as a clssification of the ethnic groups in China and Japan. You are right that the average South Indian would not say that he or she is a Dravidian, just like a Chinese or a Japanese would not tell you that they are an Oriental. Also, one cannot say that Dravidians are just only in South India. Even though they are densely populated in Southern India and Sri Lanka, they are scattered throughout Central and Norther India too. In the case of Central India and some other parts, there have been intermarriage between both Dravidians and Indo-Aryans. Also, as far as linguistics go, there are Dravidians of Central India and Northern India who speak Indo-Aryan languages, and those whose language is mixed in between Dravidian and Indo-Aryan words. So, to say that Dravidians do not exist, is like saying that Indo-Aryans do not exist. I understand the importance of the unity of India is through diversity. Live and let live. Regards.
